Man I wish they got a Chinese National KungFu team guy as a replacement for that guy who does WingChun, his 1 inch punch Shames Chinese martial arts
in fairness that could have been said for a couple of them... they were all good, don't get me wrong, but i would have prefered masters getting tested to represent their art not some younger person that was probably chosen because they are not bad on the eyes.

Ya i agree, but i wanted to point out the wushu guy.
Is is hyped propaganda....I spoke to a colleague who studies physics...he said those people didnt conduct the tests prpoerly and seemed to be persuaded by the show....

That post before mine, was that for post counting? How about the one after?
Hey, my post count has the same palaverment tone as anyone elses'
Even though it's called "Science", it wasn't exact science.
It's true that those who represented made more difference in those scientific numbers than the actual techniques themselves.
The show itself was interesting though. They tried to put actual number to the techniques.
I bet if they repeated the exact same test with different people, they would get quite a different results.
As for the original, no matter how flashy, the tests were laughable, especially the punching test. A heavily built boxer who's been punching his entire life vs a wushu guy half his weight with crappy technique, come on. The MMA one was decent, I loved Bas' jokes

Well, the punching his entire life is kind of the point, but my original complaint about fight science was the fact that they didn't have a control in the experiment and failed to account for variables like weight of the person.
Either way, it was still an impressive amount of power generated from a punch.
the fight show was great. i dvr it and haven't deleted yet. its amazing that the mixed martial artist is that well rounded to have almost the same amount of punching force as a heavyweight boxer and more kicking power then a champion kickboxer. it was just amazing. and the body conditioning is also amazing.
