I have been practicing and studying the martial art of Aikido since 1997. I have been teaching Aikido since 2002. It is hard to do Aikido that long and that deeply without knowing the name of, watching the movies of, and knowing the Aikido history of Steven Seagal. I have never trained with Seagal Sensei. But I, and two of my Aikido students, did get see his as the "Mojo Priest" when he and his band came to Boise, Idaho.
