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.)

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.

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!

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!

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

This is all around a great compilation of fighting with science behind it. Really cool just wish it was a little cheaper. Definitely motivational to get out there and push your body to the extreme

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.

Pour le public amateur de "sensation", les limites ou la perception des techniques utilisés par les différents arts martiaux avec force d'arguments. Efficace

This is a wickedly sick documentary! Great CGI, way cool fighting techniques and enough testosterone to quench any guy's thirst for fighting. A really great guy-gift!

Hi tech graphics with good ol animal agression (in a controlled environment). If they did it in region 2, more might buy it.

Good fun nonsense.
