I posted a note in Off-Topic, but figured this might appeal to all the folks here who don't venture down that way:

I've seen the preview during the Tour De France broadcast. Thanks for the link - that show looks cool.

Looks good...kinda Mind, Body and Kick Ass Moves in a buddy buddy style, with American accidents?

Ok saw the Muy Thai episode - really enjoyed it. Ok a lot of redundancy in the explanations and the hosts were a bit cheesey but solid stuff with a lot of potential.

I liked most of the program and the explanation and such, but I was rather disappointed in the ending. I think the "big fight" thing with one of the hosts is rather silly. Who expects someone with a few weeks of training (even with some other MA background) to even hold their own against a high-level master?

That wasn't even a sparring session. The Thai guy obviously was going at less than 50%.

The show has alot of potential but it'd be so much better if they ditched the meatheads and brought on that asked intelligent questions of the masters.

Yeah Chris from Mind Body & Kick ass moves was better.
