If you live in the US and have the History Channel, you have to watch Human weapon. It focuses each show on a particular martial art and goes to the country of origin. Amazing for mma fans as we know we incorporate them all. Today they are doing muay thai, Close to my heart since a practiced for 2 years will bo back again soon. You gotta watch great show.

I have it recorded now, but I haven't had time to watch it with all the soccer on tv this week. I need to get on top of this but I don't know if it's going to happen tonight.

I guess we can all share in being fans of two fringe sports slowly working themselves into the mainstream.

This show kicks ass.
I've watched the first two eps now (Muay Thai - Thailand and Eskrima - Phillipines), and I love how they don't just go into the techniques of the arts, but they also discuss the history of the arts and how they tie into the history of the country where it orginated. Each ep is apparently going to end with one of the two hosts fighting a master of the style.
Karate is next week.

Finally watched the Muy Thai episode. Very informational and not that bad of a show. The hosts, however, got on my nerve and by the end I was hoping whichever of them had to fight the champ would get his ass kicked.
That said, I'll still watch (in hope that one of them will get his ass handed to him at one point :D)

I've enjoyed all of the episodes. The Savate episode looked like it nearly ended up with an ass kicking--I think the opponent might have been taking it a little easy on the host.

So more than 2 episodes have been aired? I've been downloading the show from my xbox and only the first 2 episodes are available and was a bit worried that the show was cancelled.

The Pankration ep was really good - I'm getting the impression that Jason is a better fighter overall, but Bill's strength and power lend themselves well to some of the fights.
This week's ep is Krav Maga, which I'm really looking forward to.

We're all still watching this show, right?
The last two eps have been good - Marine Corp Martial Arts and MMA.
The MMA ep had Cung Le, Forrest Griffin, Randy Couture, Ricco Rodriguez, Bas Rutten, on it. Really fun stuff.

I have not watched the Marine corp on but I did watch the MMA one. Can I just say, What the hell happened to Rico Rodriguez?? I remeber when he fought in pride against Noguera and they ripped him off from a victory. He is huge no wonder he no longer fights UFC.

He was always a partier and continued to do so after leaving UFC, apparently to the detriment of his training. He's failed cocaine and marijuana tests, so he's been in trouble for that as well.
In fact, he's going to be on a new VH1 show in the new year, "Celebrity Rehab."
Kinda sad that someone that once beat Randy Couture is now at that level.
(I do think Nogueira won that fight, but only by the slimmest of margins.)

The sambo episode was good, but the sambo people put up some clown for the fight.

Had a bunch of these DVRd, and just watched the one from the Phillipines tonight. Pretty sweet. I feel the one I missed was the Israeli Army episode...that seemed like it would have been the best of them all.
