Human Weapon on History Channel

[Uke]

You can read every post written on this topic by jubaji: mongrel on his mother's side, and you won't find one post about the martial arts. He talks once about the fighter's looking pissed, and that's it. And then he has the nerve to complain? What's going on in that melon head of his?

*shrug*

Human Weapon, while being a bit cheesy because of the fixed fights at the end, gives A LOT of good information and let's many different high level instructors share information and the history of the arts they cover.

Great posts DJForest and Shoot.

Garland, you made me laugh with that last post. You are sick. Gotta love it.

I agree with Uke about the Show being a bit Cheesy and the fights sucking for the most part other then the Muay Thai and Judo episodes.I thought the Krav Maga episode was great though lots of real world applications and real world history on Israel.

i liked how in the krav maga episode they met that one instructor at masada. thats a crazy place to be, the site of a very brutal historical battle and inmop a huge symbol of resistance.

I thought the funniest fight was when Bill punched the karateka in the face out of desperation and exhaustion. I was rollin'.

Yea that was hillarious...just like when he punched the Pankration guy in the face too and then he almost got tossed into a pillar. i fixed that for you guys....sorry if i slowed it down.

They should let Bill and Jason get their asses whupped. I can guarantee the ratings would rise. I mean really, how better to show the formidable quality of a style than to let a seasoned practitioner paint an asswhoopin all over those two guys?

In its own way, the show is kind of doing a disservice by making it appear that those two guys can hold their own against ranking practitioners after only a few days training.

I call it the Tarzan syndrome. They go to a foreign land and spend some time there and after a while they are better at doing in a fraction of the time what the natives have been doing for generations.

Still, I prefer to see the end fights as humor. But seeing as its humor and the end fights are fake anyway, they should get a choreographer and really cheese it up. The way I see it if there's no point in pretending that what their doing is genuine then they might as well have fun with it.

Lastly, I wonder if there are out takes? Like when Bill punched the karate guy in the face ... did the karateka haul off and give him the business? Or do they show fluid continuity? Out takes would be great.

How often do Krav Maga practitioners fight each other, using any kind of techniques, Full Contact? How often do they fight full contact with other Krav Maga schools?
