Films featuring Aikido

Steven Seagal's most-watched film and the cleanest showcase of his aikido repertoire: wrist locks, throws that take over the opponent's own movement, and knife disarms. The speed is cinema; the mechanics of the techniques match aikido.

Steven Seagal's first film, which gave aikido its screen form. The elbow and wrist locks match real aikido, but the speed and one-shot effectiveness are cinema.
