I like Seagal's movies, as they are action packed and quite funny with his one liners and ridiculious moves that would never work in real life.

His early movies like: "Above the Law", "Hard to Kill", "Out for Justice" and "Under Siege", were all very entertaining.

His cop show was funny too as Seagal totally racial profiles people and isn't allowed to drive the cop car.

All that said, there is no doubt in my mind that Seagal has NOT helped MMA fighters out at all. There is little to no kicking in the martial art of Akido so it is nonsense to suggest he tought these guys to front kick and KO their opponents.
