Fight Science

I have 25 years in various martial arts, 11 years military, and 8 years law enforcement (6 on tactical teams). This is the best show I have ever seen on TV, and the only video of a TV series I have ever purchased. Fantastic.It is important to realize what this video is and isn't. The reviewer who gave this a one star, completely missed the point of the show. It is not an instructional video - in fact, never, ever buy an instructional video. Go take a class from a live instructor if that is what you are after.It merely shows what the human mind and body are cabable of. If you are a martial artist or fighter, in law enforcement, or in the military - this DVD is worth checking out. (Or just interested in the above subjects.)

The guy who talked about using a "karate chop" is an idiot. First he can't spell and second using the word "karate chop" sounds really stupid. Its called a "shuto uke" or sword hand strike and serious karateka would know that!!!! Good video!

I'm always a fan of NatGeo, so they do a good job. I've always been fascinated by martial arts and its interesting to see some science get put behind it. If you're interested in a little scientific fact to crush movie-myths about combat, this is a good way to do it. The myths are by no means a comparison for the real thing.

Exactly what I wanted!!!Very well explain. It make you see things on a whole different angle. Wish that National Geographic had made more of this. Because I know that thye have others episode!

I would not believe some of the feats performed by the martial artists on this video were possible if I hadn't seen them here - for anyone interested in martial arts, military special forces, or human physiology, this will be extremely interesting viewing.

As an active martial artist, I bought this along with several other DVDs.This DVD was okay, but personally I would recommened the Fight Quest or Human Weapon series first. Both are a bit cheesy at times, but are more entertaining with still a bit of education to be offered.I didn't even finish watching this DVD, but thats just me. I guess it depends on what you are wanting.

5/10
