His 'skill' is Hollywood in origin. He practices Aikido, which is a Japanese art form derived from martial sciences (jujutsu) of hand to hand combat and sword fighting. Aikido was developed as a stripped down artsy-fartsy version of military training, turned into a philosophical hobby horse by the founder, Ueshiba, as part of the whole 'self hating let's destroy our own heritage' craze that swept Japan during the late 19th and early 20th century, which was the product of the Imperial propaganda cultural revolution which was designed to modernize and westernize Japan to make it a respectable world power.
Aikido practitioners do sometimes develop some basic close quarter combat skills (BASIC) but that is usually in spite of the Aikido they study. Usually, though, their brains go to mush because of all the super secret chi energy taoist horse hockey they imbibe at the feet of their 'sensei' (guru).
Keep in mind, though, Segal is a Louisiana cop so he probably has basic defensive tactics down enough to stuff the average Joe's hind end in the back seat of a cruiser if he needed to.
