Marc Z @TKDLife Jan 26 I never knew about this show in its original run. Perhaps, it was hard to find and that is why it only lasted one season. The content and construction of the show is great. The format is simple. Each week the hosts visit an exotic location and explore its indigenous martial arts system. The show culminates in a competitive fight by one of the hosts against a practitioner. Karate, Savate, Taekwondo, Eskrima, Judo, Tambo and more are explored. The hosts are likable and gifted. The show has great authenticity. I liked it so much I based my boo, "Human Weapon's Fighting Techniques" on it. See more Read all reviews
