Segal Invented a New Front Kick

In UFC 126 on 2/5/11, Anderson Silva knocked out Vitor Belfort in the first round with a front kick to the chin. Silva credited actor Steven Segal with teaching him the kick. In an after fight interview, Segal said he worked for years to develop the kick. 


He did what! The first kick every Taekwondo or karate student learns is the front kick. It is then used and perfected over the years the student trains. And yet here is an arrogant actor claiming to have developed a new way to front kick an opponent on the chin.


Segal is the Al Gore of the martial arts. It was Gore who said in a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer that, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
