I know someone who knows Steve really well. They trained together (aikido) in Osaka for years .
He a nage(takes ukeme,or the fall) for Steve in the movie they made in nyc.I forget the name of it.
I trained with him ,aikido again ,here in nyc when he moved back .
He said he loves Steve ,but he turned into a giant fathead the moment he got big.
I mean he pretty much ditched his two Japanese kids ,moved here ,got famous ,New wife etc etc.

I heard on the news today Steve is going to train security guards for schools.

He is a bada**,done some training with some ufc fighters and all.He just seems like a arrogant a**.Almost van damme-ish lol also another terrible actor,though i do like blood sport haha

The early van damme stuff was good ,but he screwed over his partner. Michael Quisi I think his name is.
And as an aikido practitioner ,Steve was god to us way back when .
Before he got all fancy,and added all these other martial arts ,we would all go opening night to all his movies.
As he did each technique,we would yell it out ...and all just have this massive catharsis .
Kotegaish ! Irimi nage !

Up until that one movie filmed in nyc,it was awesome .That movie was the turning point ,and he got all fat headed.
The aikido in the one about the Haitian ...or Jamaican twins... Something death. Let me look.

Marked for death .The aikido in that one is unnnbelievable .
Blew me away .
The guy I know who knows him ,his style is just like Steve's .
The dojo they trained at in Osaka ,doesn't train the way we do in Tokyo .
I go to the Hombu dojo ,which is the one that was Morehei Ueshibas dojo
His granson is sensei now .
Some aikido guys,who trained with O sensei ,broke off and formed their own factions.
Tomiki was one ,which was much more brutal than aikido ,and the osaka dojo was just considered a
renegade dojo .
Lots of them were yakuza ,and their style is a bit different than ours .
Another really famous guy came out of that dojo too.
He trained same time as steve towards the end of steves time there.
He was an athlete ,and he wqs in some sort of accident where he ended up paralyzed from the waist down .
A lot of aikido can be done on your knees.
Suare waza its called.
This guy did it all in his wheel chair !
He became a champion too.
They made a movie about him called Aiki .

I've done a lot of martial arts . It's why I have half my injuries .
I was on the judo mat when I was 5 ,because my uncle was a nihan in judo .
The school closed though . I later did tae kwon do ,but being a Bruce lee maven ,I wanted to do jeet kun do .
Hard to do the way Bruce did ,if you didn't have access to every branch of it .
I wanted to do aikido for years,so I went and joined the NY aikikai without even watching a class .
I then co trained in a kung fu style called Xing Yi chuan .
I'm a black belt in both . My kung fu sifu was also a master escrima guy ,so I did end up learning a bit .
He also did ba gua ,but I preferred Xing yi .
My kung fu sifu is also the guy that got me started on the path of Chinese medicine .
He was an acupuncturist and herbalist as well.

Sometimes you can see one of those horrid movies where a good or great actor is stuck in it... And it seems like they are looking at the screen and their expression is saying... "Hey... This is stupid... but it pays the bills."

Oh, yeah, I've heard many actors express that... and that no matter what the movie is/was, it's just a job, and that they take what's offered and it mainly depends on what's made available to them.

I happen to really like Anderson Cooper, but Kathy Griffin is the reason I refuse to watch CNN on New Year's Eve.

Robin Williams, Steve Martin and Meg Ryan.

[David Henson]

This is easy. Marylin Monroe and James Dean.

Insufferably horrid actors. Should be banned except for possible educational uses. Show them how it isn't supposed to be done. Stylistic justopositioning. Well, I think its a disgrace!

Ok . . . it isn't that important, but damn, they sure couldn't act.

Oh yes Will Ferrel,Jim Cary,Jack Black,Adam Sandler they all suck

Got a thing against comedians, eh? In fact, it seems a lot of people in here do. Which is pretty funny. Comedians generally shouldn't be compared to dramatic actors. The scripts they work on/wrote themselves/acted aren't meant to be seen in the same light as a dramatic piece. Look at all the people mentioned in here who were on SNL (Ferrel, Sandler). Doing sketches and doing something like method acting aren't the same. It also has a lot to do with scripts. Will Ferrel was great in Stranger than Fiction. Incidentally,  Jim Carrey was also pretty good in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That being said, I can deffinitely get where someone would dislike Ferrel's movies because I am also sick to freaking God of his humour. I actually don't like it. I'm just saying that comedians (especially sketch comedians) shouldn't really be lumped into the same category as dramatic actors.

He was good in comedies ages ago but a very limited dramatic actor. He could never pull off gut out scenes without looking like Popeye. I think he has a problem  in that area even in real life.
