Before Steven Seagal Was “Lawman” And “Above The Law”

Currently Steven Seagal is starring on the A&E reality series “The Lawman”.

He has worn quite a lot of hats in his career and in his life.

What do I mean by that?

Steven Seagal has been known as an action movie actor, producer, writer, director, martial artist, philanthropist, guitarist, singer-songwriter, energy drink entrepreneur, and deputy sheriff.

Before Steven Seagal was a recognized household name, launched to stardom by movies such as “Above The Law”, “Under Siege”, “Exit Wounds” and many more, he was an Aikido instructor in Japan.

That’s right in Japan and that as a foreigner.

In the early 70s, Steven Seagal was reportedly the first foreigner to run an aikido dojo in Japan.

And the rest is history, as they say. Check out some footage of Steven Seagal as a martial arts instructor:
