The Boogeyman checks under his bed for Chuck Norris at night. You do the math.

Seagal was a semi-legit aikido master, though the legitness of aikido is questinable.

I watched an interview with JCVD on Carson where he said he learned martial arts because he wanted to be an action film star. He may have sparred, but most adult classes have sparring.

If chuck Norris had an arm tied behind his back and had to fight both at the same time they'd lose in 5 minutes.

Regardless, he was involved in live karate competitions and kickboxing competitions (although I'm not sure if they were full contact or light contact)

Seagall married an Aikido Masters Daughter and participated in dead aikido demos.

All of Seagal's stuff is strictly choreographed fighting.



Some of ya'll may want to do a little research before you start spewing junk...

Seagal is the 1st non asian to open and run an akido dojo in Japan...

But I am sure that is because he was so amazing at the choreographed stuff.

Also, Bazilian Mixed Martial Artist Lyoto Machida credits Seagal for "perfecting" the Fontal Kick he used to knock out Randy Couture in May 2011...

Seagal has got much more chops (pun intended... ) than most give him credit for...

Seagal would run away from them, double back, and kick their asses while they're still trying to catch their breath from laughing so hard.

Yea, but Seagall was a Jefferson Parish police officer. The other 2 can't say that

Chuck Norris was as much a Texas Ranger as Seagal was a deputy!

At the age of 15, Van Damme started his competitive karate career in Belgium. From 1976 to 1980, Van Damme compiled a record of 44 victories and 4 defeats in tournament and non-tournament semi-contact matches. Van Damme was a member of the Belgium Karate Team when it won the European Karate Championship on 26 December 1979 at La Coupe François Persoons Karate Tournament in Brussels.[14][15] Van Damme placed second at the Challenge Coupe des Espoirs Karate Tournament (1st Trials). At the 3-day tournament, Van Damme defeated 25 opponents before losing in the finals to teammate Angelo Spataro.[14] On 8 March 1980, in Brussels, Belgium, Van Damme competed against his former teammate Patrick Teugels at the Forest National Arena on the undercard of the Dan Macaruso-Dominique Valera Professional Karate Association Light-Heavyweight World Championship bout.[14] Prior to this match, Teugels had defeated Van Damme twice by decision, including a match for the Belgium Lightweight Championship. Van Damme had a 1977 victory over Teugels. Teugels was coming off an impressive showing at the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations World Championships four months earlier, and was favored by some to win this match. According to reports, and Patrick Teugels' own interview (with photos), Teugels lost to Van Damme by TKO in the 1st round. Teugels was kicked in the nose and was unable to continue as a result.[14] In a 2013 interview, Van Damme called this fight his most memorable match.[16] Van Damme began his full-contact career in 1977, when Claude Goetz promoted the first ever full-contact karate tournament in Belgium. From 1977 to 1982, Van Damme compiled a record of 18 victories (18 knockouts) and 1 defeat[citation needed]. He was also named "Mr. Belgium" in a bodybuilding competition.[citation needed]

This is b.s. Seagal spread.

He taught some at his wife's father's dojo that was and is still owned by his ex-wife.

Lyoto Machida grew up in karate and knew how to throw a front kick....its known that Machida was just being nice and did not want to call Seagal out for his lie.

Yeah I mean, at this stage of human history can anyone really invent or perfect a kick? There are only so many ways a human can kick another human.

Yeah, the truth of it is that all three of them have legit martial arts abilities. But JCVD and Seagall have both allowed themselves to become parodies in their acting careers and Norris didn't do himself any favors with his TV choices either.

JCVD participated in a highly organized sport-like arena.
Seagall participated in an older somewhat dated form that specialized in disarming and throwing.
Norris seems to have the longest list of credentials in a broad swath of different styles.

In their prime, I wouldn't want to have pissed any of them off, but I give Norris the nod as probably having been the best overall fighter.

I think Norris and JCVD have both kept themselves in pretty good shape for their ages, while Seagall has let himself go. However, Seagall fighting style doesn't require you to be in particularly good shape, so he could probably still kick most of the OT's asses.
