Answer 1

maybe tougher than bill and jason?

all of the people who taught them were tougher than them without question.

they were all tough in their own respects.

the karate guy was impressive on the karate episode

the monks at the temple in the sanda episode were amazing too (although jason said sanda was the deadlist chinese martial art although its a RING SPORT.. lmao)

the krav maga guys were badass

the silat guys were just plain nuts with the lime in the eye!

Answer 2

I loved the Taekwondo episode because a Taekwondo guy knocked one of them out.  I get tired of people talking smack about Taekwondo, how it doesn't work, etc., and when I tell them how I've used it, seen other people use it, etc., etc., they go into denial.  Grapplers are the worst at Taekwondo bashing----I know because I'm also a grappler.  

The bigger one even had a tremendous size advantage and looked to me like he was learning it pretty fast.  I think he'd be good at it, to be honest.   The smaller one had no excuse.  Why would you even try a crescent kick against a master if you are not a master yourself?  I would have stuck with simple & fast techniques, to make the guy fight my fight.   I suspect the smaller one knew he would lose to a TKD guy, could not handle that, so he did some subconscious self-sabotage.

Of course, I think those TKD guys were the toughests.  People who train TKD at the Kukiwon and/or who learn from their blackbelt parents tend to be tough.  

I also liked the Judo one because I play Judo.

Third:  the Escrima one, just because the sensei got them to run through a pond of muddy water.  That had to be some type of trick they play on newbies.

Answer 3

my favorite episode was the one on Muay Thai simply bc Muay Thai is the greatest...but the Krav Magav guys are the baddest bc they use Muay Thai and other fighting styles

Answer 4

And Bill got KO'd by the Taekwondo guy.  Jason was just to scared to fight him and faked a knee injury.

Answer 5

I think the Krav maga one was the best but there were some pretty cool moments in the others.

For example, that Wing Chun master who was doing Chi Sao blindfolded, in China

And that cool speed blocking thing when Jason and Duff were in the rain forest in Thailand
