HG Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Good program. What other martial arts or techniques would you have tested? I would have liked to seen the following:- Traditional Kung Fu Style- Iron Palm Impact- M.T. Leg Kick Impact- Tai Chi or Aikido - Reaction/Speed of Wing Chun

parkerlineage Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 MINE!Possibly some swordhand strikes...I wasn't too thrilled with the program, honestly. American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
bushido_man96 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I was not impressed, either. I missed the first half of the show, which had the boxer and thai boxer, apparently. There was too much drama and choreography, especially with the weapons. Some of the readings they had were cool, and the breaking guys were cool.I did like Inosanto. Man, he is in good shape. I would love to learn the kali sticks. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
malcore05 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 hi, i watched the show last night and I was wondering if anybody knew the nams of the 2 guys who were smahsing cinder blocks like crazy with their heads, elbows, hands and shoulders. thanks.
HG Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 The impact data was the most interesting for me. The program was at least a better representation of martial arts than Final Fu.
niel0092 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 The first part of the program was ok but overall the show was far too dramatic. I didn't care for the weapons segment either.I also wonder if durring the first segment if they took the hitters weight into account when they did the readings. The WC guy was tiny compared to the boxer so I'd expect his numbers to be lower even if they did the same style. "Jita Kyoei" Mutual Benefit and Welfare

MizuRyu Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I didn't get to see it but I really wanted to. I would like to see a multiple part series like MBAKM but more scientific.
