Still Got It: Steven Seagal Gives Terrifying Martial Arts Masterclass

Seagal has still got it.

A video has emerged of the action movie don, 63, walloping opponents during a martial arts masterclass in Russia over the weekend.

- Seagal plays gig for pro-Russian separatists
- Seagal barred from music festival over Putin support
- Steven Seagal defends Putin’s actions in Crimea

Seagal, who is a firm friend of Russian premier Vladimir Putin, appeared at the All-Russian Sambo Tournament in Saratov, and clad in black, showed off his skills.

Barely breaking a sweat, Seagal impressed the assembled crowd of thousands with various throws and holds, taking out two opponents.

Sambo is a Russian combat sport and martial art, but Seagal has long been a practitioner of Aikido.

He is a seventh dan black belt, and was the sensei at a dojo in Osaka during the late 70s, before he made the move to movies.

His relationship with Russia and Putin has caused controversy, however.

Last year, after hailing Putin as ‘one of the great living world leaders’, adding that he 'would like to consider him as a brother’, he drew criticism for supporting Putin’s annexing of Crimea.

Last summer, the sometime musician performed a show in Sevastopol for a group of pro-Russian separatists.
