Well yeah, if you spend your life doing martial arts of combat sports your joints are probably absolutely fucked, and you've got no hope of getting meaningful exercise in without considerable pain. Hell, I've done BJJ for only ten years and my knees are a wreck. I know Seagal is into aikido and shit, but being rich I don't blame him for being fat in his seventies. It's really fucking hard to stay in shape when you get old.

Furthermore, going from fighting fit to limited care can make you explode in both weight and joint issues.
