bushido_man96 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Exactly right. It's just a case of entertainment with a hint of fact. If it sparks a discussion like this one, then I guess it has done a good thing.You make a good point. We all have some positives and negatives about it, but the most of us did watch it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMike Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 It could also attract new students to the arts. Peiople might say I want to kick that hard. And, having "science" exaiming the arts could give them credibility to people who think its all mystic mumbo jumbo. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a real "fight science" were ever done, I'd just love to see it!

Jiffy Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 The problem is, Martial Arts are not main stream enough to warrant someone picking up the bill for that kind of research.

alsey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i'd love to see some proper research done on this, but it would be difficult to conduct properly. MA are so complex, so many factors, where would you begin? "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well, you would start with a control group, and then have a martial arts group, and have them each doing similar tests. Also having the various weight classes so to speak would be good as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The best way to do it would be to find a large group of people with similar physical and mental abilities. Make sure none of them have any Martial training or anything the closely relates to it. Then send them of in groups to get training in the various arts (at least 5 per art) and monitor their progress. Compare it periodically to when they started.
