Fight Science on Nat'l Geo.
PostPosted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 6:07 pm
so I saw this preview for a show called "Fight Science" on Nat'l Geographic. Basically, it's a show where they pick a weapon/martial art and see what certain actions/attacks can do... through a scientific approach. Using the latest and greatest in technology, to measure the strength, speed, and skill of these martial artists. And may I say that I was BLOWN AWAY!!!
I've taken martial arts, and I've always known that when I attack it's not just to make the opponent say "ow". No, it's meant to do serious damage. For example, in one experiment, a muay thai kickboxer knee'd the "opponent" (a dummy filled with pressure thingys) and it rivaled the impact of a car going 35mph (56kmh)!!! There was many other things that they'll show. Which I am angry cuz I'm at college and I don't get Nat'l Geographic javascript:smilie(':bang:')
what do you guys think of the show?
