    Steven Seagal launches Aikido centre to train Russians for military service

    Steven Seagal has launched an All-Russian Aikido Centre in Moscow that will primarily be used to prepare young Russians for army service.

    The Hollywood actor was present at the inauguration ceremony at the Russian capital Monday, where he cut the ribbon to officially open the centre.

    “I am very glad to be able to present this centre today and that aikido will develop here,” Seagal, who also serves as the head instructor of the Russian Aikido Federation, said during the inauguration. “These arts can make this world a better place.”

    According to Russia’s state-affiliated media outlet Tass, the main objectives of the centre are to “increase the applied nature of aikido, develop various styles and directions of traditional and modern aikido, increase the general motivation of those involved - the opportunity to become a champion, receive a sports category, title, as well as prepare young people for service in the Russian Armed Forces.”

    A sports and patriotic club is reportedly expected to start operating at the centre to “increase physical fitness” for service in the armed forces.

    Seagal’s latest venture comes a few weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to award the American actor with the state Order of Friendship. The decree cited Seagal’s “great contribution to the development of international cultural and humanitarian cooperation.”

    The 70-year-old Seagal was awarded Russian citizenship by Putin in 2016 and has since been a regular visitor to the federation. He has also served as the Russian Foreign Ministry’s “special representative” to the United States, which led to former president Barack Obama being “flabbergasted.”

    Seagal has also become a willing propagandist for the Kremlin. In August 2022, the Under Siege actor traveled to occupied eastern Ukraine, where he visited a prison camp run by Russian-backed separatists and spread Kremlin talking points.

    Thoughts and prayers to Ukraine and any other enemies of the motherland.
    Even if he just teaches them to run, consequences will never be the same.

    Steven Seagal is a traitorous unadulterated piece of **** with arms, legs, and an empty melon sitting on his shoulders.

    Steven Seagal is the kind of guy that wakes up the entire family to let them know that he's going to bed

    That was the karate class from my kid's daycare. I did not have a child in the performance, but I knew a few there.

    On that note, if anyone has a video of that somehow, please share. I tried screen recording it on my laptop but the NBA LP site wouldn't let me.
