So far, do you think Fight Masters is a good martial arts show or does it focus too much with the science?

Question

What about the show Fight Science? Do you think it's also a good martial arts show or does it deal too much with the science and less on the MMA techniques?

Answer 1

Fight Science has its ups and downs.

The first episode was interesting, but done rather poorly. They proclaimed that one striking style hit harder than any other, and yet, each of the people striking the test dummy was of different weight. Of course the 140 pound Kung Fu guy couldn't hit as hard as the 200 pound boxer. We don't need a crash test dummy to tell us this.

Furthermore, why they had the TKD guy demonstrating with the katana is beyond me. He seemed to just hack at the gel, no tenouchi whatsoever.

If nothing else, that show displayed how dangerous martial artists could be.

The MMA episode was pretty interesting. But it was basically more of Fight Science Ep1, except with a focus on MMA.

I didn't see the Military one, but the Self Defense one was HORRIBLE. It made me sick to watch it as it basically spewed out massive loads of c**p. The Rear Naked Choke and Mount escapes were craptacular. They wouldn't work on another person of the same size/weight, much less on somebody who's much bigger and stronger. (The mount escape was shown for use by woman.)

Anyways, I haven't seen Fight Masters yet, but I can honestly tell you that Fight Science is mediocre at best. Too much false information or unscientific 'testing.'

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yeah I noticed the c**p with the TKD guy and the katana especially after swinging it around like he knew what he was doing ended up with it in his left hand a big no no in kendo and kenjutsu circles.

I liked the difference in power with a gloved hand versus the bare fist .The bare fist was almost 1/'3 to 1/2  more powerful in foot pounds of impact.

I laughed when the producer told LIDDEL I think it was "you are not human"

The science is important as it allows you to know just how much damage you can do to another human being and the shape you have to be in to endure that kind of punishment.

There have been a few martial artists who were charged with manslaughter who said "I didnt think I hit him that hard" the bare fist is a devastating weapon not to mention the knees and elbows.
