Fight Science

[MrFadihilmi]

whats the link to the full documentry or even the name please ..

[rodrigosborges]

Does anybody has the link to the full documentary?

[rilindtaekwondo]

Great documentary!!!!

What's the music name?



[BIGJOEDAPOET]

0:08 thats Afro Ninja. the dude that tried doing a back flip and knocked out haha. i saw him on Tosh.0 also. i thought i recognised him.

[XxhadoukenxX]

@BIGJOEDAPOET oh shit it is!



[ramiskatada]

what is the martial art on 0:14 ?

[shadowmuniplitive]

@ramiskatada That guy does Tae Kwon Do

[cLiPhEnGzT]

@ramiskatada I think he meant the guy who broke the bricks. He does Karate.

[MrChumFm]

I FEEL LIKE SUPERMAN lol... in a very humble way

[tabish4448]

fight science all episodes free join my channel

[doomedpumkin]

ok the human body is a great weapon but when i point a gun at them i bet my bullets are faster, anyway i love martial arts specialy mauy thai

[nvrfrgt3]

@doomedpumkin well human body (brain, hand, eyes,legs, and etc) creates the gun...

[ghostlyredfox]

@doomedpumkin you think so? Dont be so sure my friend: go on youtube and look up IP man vs Gun

[heavyironmusic]

at 00:43 the kungfu master has greater balance than the ninjitsu master or any one else y didnt they include that.

[LuckyDudeWithAGuitar]

@heavyironmusic because he's just doing a pose while glen is literally running on the poles (well he moves alot on them )

[heavyironmusic]

@LuckyDudeWithAGuitar nope if u watch the whole thing they show clips of the kungfu master runnin up the poles as well, though they dont show his face.

just his feet. he did have balance equal to the ninja or greater.

[LuckyDudeWithAGuitar]

@heavyironmusic actually alex dosen't appear in the full show during the poles part maybe you just think it bwas alex but it was bren (he has white pants too)

[heavyironmusic]

@LuckyDudeWithAGuitar no dude the documentary only gives the spotlight to certain ma's at a time. if u notice in the beginning they dont measure the muay thai fighters punch thas cause i'm geussing it was fairly even with the boxers so they didnt measure it and gave the spotlight to the boxer. same went with the balancing act and they gave the spotlight to the ninja even though the wushu master had the exact same balancing power. thats how the show went man.

[MasterfulPower]

THIS IS AS REAL AS A FIGHTER GETS IF U THINK ITS

FAKE GO FIND A MARTIAL ARTS MASTER AND FIGHT HIM

[solidsnackumzzz]

tell you what pisses me off, even with all the training I and many others have done, a chimp would still kick my ass, damn chimps...

[membland]

they make up so much bullshit on these shows, they cant strike faster than a snake its bollocks. and as for smahing blocks piled on top of each other, more bollocks, they put gaps in the bloacks with sticks to allow the top one to smash the one below, take out the gaps and stack them right on top of each other, lets see them break it then, harder than sledge hammer? more shite, whats the point of a sledge hammer then? a strike to the head or a sledge hammer to the head, which one would you take?

[cosminso1230]

@membland lol a fat shit like you wont believe it, but this is real. "bullocks" man ur dumb

[membland]

@cosminso1230 what would you choose to have a sledgehammer to the head or a fist? i fist might knock you out but sledgehammer would smash your skull open. if they can smash 20 odd blocks why are they not smashing one single block to the same thickness? why separate them? asnwer the questions, dont come back with comments, just answer the questions.

[cosminso1230]

@membland dammit i guess ur right... and i've even seen some fake karate chops on wood and smashed... when ppl hold them, the wooden blocks are already smashed, so its easy. but i really thought they could smash bricks.

[kawasimaumika333]

日本でも　この番組ちょっとだけ　やってましたよ

[eliasmoney12]

Did that gut just break bricks

[iSkeer]

@eliasmoney12

not just bricks, I think that was concrete :|

[SayNayLegalEyes]

Just so noone is confused, Sheikkailija is chatting out of his arse.

[Haplotype0]

This show is cool and all but it would have been better if they took the readings, and then let some of these guys fight each other.

[QasimAnwar135]

all this to kill someone in a fight? u want to defend yourself not kill people and besides all uer training can be ruined with technology such as a gun...

[K1animal]

does anyone kow how i can get a copy of this on dvd?? please

\

[Aheadstix85]

That Aussie guy looks pretty hard, he could take a beating.

[321meser]

Science??? thought they would have the common sense to make sure everyone was close to the same size.The boxer had the strongest punch but was also the biggest, the kung fu guy had the weakest but was also the smallest.

[Sheikkailija]

@321meser Size does not matter in power. Bruce Lee for once proved that wrong. At the time when bruce broke a 15cm thick WOODEN BOARD with only one punch he weighted 72kg. He looked "skinny". Little earlier he also showed his speed wich is still the faster ever to be mesured. over 500 m/s. These guys are a joke compared to bruce lee and many others. But dotn get me wrong. These guys are professionals also. Peace :)

[mrstar9]

@321meser sports science is just like this too :) i mean in one episode they compare softball pitch- baseball pitch. and just because softball broke the equipment, they said it goes faster. but what they miss is softball is NOT same size and material as baseball ^^

[yinyangjumper]

@321meser a kung fu master doesnt need to be big he needs to be fast..a good boxer needs to be big AND fast..

[321meser]

@yinyangjumper o absolutely kung fu was never about size but of speed, but on the show they wanted to find out who has the strongest punch so wouldnt they think to make sure they were all near the same size, and not all boxers have to be big and strong, juan manuel marquez is a small and very technical boxer.

[TheTheprofessional53]

Bren foster and this show is pretty much the entire reason i now train TKD lol

[Enclavefakesoldier]

It's pretty obvious that every fighter in that show can kill you in one blow, magnificent!

[Ieatbabyseals]

Oh god they're teaching Australians to fight..OH NO!

[G33314Lucas]

yeah glen and foster

[NeveRelwof]

and you have something against us aussies? we should smack you up for that! jks

[fredjustsucks]

Damn I can't find National Geographic in San Diego

[cmmccorey5]

It's a premium channel.

[Spattila]

ummm....street fighters vs world martial art masters???

anyone?? lol

[LittleMrL]

Does anyone know where I can download this?

[william6198640]

torrent

[ultrasentai]

this show is awewsome.

[georgeziltz]

i agree you are full of bullshit and dude learn how to spell its martial and patients

[batfan1939]

He said he has a learning disability!

[AAAAAHTEEMATU247]

NO EXCUSES!

[batfan1939]

I'm going to assume you're joking. Unless he has someone with him constantly, to act as a spellcheck, what's he supposed to do? Not voice his opinion?

[AAAAAHTEEMATU247]

well of course i was joking lol

[dragonslayer1003]

i want to lern marshal arts i wnat the disaplin and pations that comes with it. but i cant join a dojo cuz everyonr thinks ill go off and beat someone up evin thow i havent been in a fight in over a year

[D23R22]

Wow dude, learn to spell. Also, that is no reason you can't join a school of Martial Arts. Your bullshitting your way through that whole comment

[dragonslayer1003]

by evoryone i mean my family. and sorry about my spelling i have somme lerning disabilaty. i can only spell about half the time

[batfan1939]

As far as your disability is concerned, copy and paste the text you want to post in Microsoft Word. It'll spell-check for you, and is right about 85% of the time. More for a YouTube comment. I'm assuming you recognize when you've spelled something wrong/see the correct spelling (not sarcasm, just saying I could be wrong).

[Omnipharious]

i see all these videos and none of them is the actual video- just intros..

who has recored and posted actual episodes?

[dbizzle7353]

As far as the comment about weight it's not really relevant for this test. I'm assuming the fighters picked there own kicks. Some of the fighters did not pick what would be the strongest kicks in there martial art I don't think. Also what is the skill level of the fighters. Like are they all say a 4th degree black belt? The muay thai guy had a serious advantage too. He physically clinched the dummy and pulled it down. No other fighter did that. It makes a huge difference.

[jdbeaver91]

muay thai is a martial art were when the knee is delivered between the sternum and the waist you are taught to clinch the person and then pull them towrads you while you deliver the knee strike to obtain the most power its also know as the science of 8 limbs

[Spiegel420]

Art of 8 limbs

[SiolentH]

id love to be a ninja walking on those pole things! but i would also like to have that kind of power you would only find in some sort of car crash.

ive taken karate since i was five but quit when i was like in 6th grade, i regret it now.

[bionicle168]

I took Karate a few years ago, but I move to Canada and I'm recently finding dojos to train...

[grraquino]

Yeah, that size/weight difference was a bummer for the viewer, but most people watching it get it, I guess. Nevertheless, it is nice to see martial arts getting prime time treatment. I hope they produce more, and even better, shows like this.

[ShKitSo]

its like comparing a baby and an adult with power, i mean like look at the size differences that go off after the kung fu guy. hes tiny, than the rest get bigger and bigger.

[ShKitSo]

fight science is fuckin stupid, if you ever done a lab in science class, you learn that in order to test the differences between 2 things that will react differently. they both need to be the same. ex:

1: sugar and water

2: sugar and salt

in this case you would need all the different martial arts, with the same person. ex:

1: 5'9 150lbs boxer

2: 5'9 150lbs kung fu (etc.)

do you guys know what i mean?

[beshba]

yeeah i was kinda confused with the size of the kung fu guy and the tkd guy.

[Redeemer3]

Yeah I know, they don't account the weight of each fighter. Not to mention each fighter can't represent his entire community of his style. So it'll show you results for each fighter, but it won't be scientifically accurate in it's findings.

Well, this is a pretty old documentary.

[batfan1939]

I see your point, but what about average sizes? If you're comparing ther speed of a rabbit and the speed of a bear, you don't look for a ten-foot rabbit, even though longer strides make you move faster (for the same rpm, or whatever)! Maybe these martial artists a representative of their art's average weight! If the average Mui Tai guy is 150 lbs, and the average Karate guy is 200 lbs, you'd want peoiple at about those weights to test!

[phatpun954]

so corny

[icefang87]

I am so glad to see just how efficient these fighters can be by using science to explain everything. Now, people will no longer underestimate the true understanding of martial arts/wushu/mixed martial arts.

[u31117416]

That's true, maybe now people will see that classic martial arts like Kung Fu and Karate really are good =D

[ZionDkiller]

holy shit guys Makron think he can take on the master all at once that funny becuase i think only one of them with their hand tie behind their back is needed to take out someone as over confidence as you

[Kingbobco]

Good Norris... This is awesome!!!

[winoguitaro]

cool......

[Makron5]

I can take them all on. All of them on at once.

[bruin13]

Maybe in street fighter the game. These guys are the best at what they do.

[Makron5]

None of this matters in the field of real competition where all men are tested to their apex. I speak of one of the only true sports in our world.

[craigusher]

Makron.

All these men are masters of their arts, and if you were a true martial artist you would show the respect they show. A martial art is not just kicking and punching, it is a disipline, a frame of mind, your overconfidence is a sign of weakness.

[Makron5]

I am no master in the art I admit and I have yet to achieve the higher plane, but my skill and experience alone should more than suffice to trump them.

[raul799]

ok good to bed ..

[Makron5]

You think I'm joking, but any GMG Regulation Rule match I will dominate them.

[craigusher]

No, you may be telling the truth. But it you go into a match against any of these guys, i'd advise you not too be so cocky.

Fair enough, you may actually quite good at your disipline, but at the end of the day, they're the ones winning the titles.

[raul799]

ok , I havent seen you fighting them , you can't be so sure cause your never know espically in fights ..

[Makron5]

I challenge them to a battle at Kitchen Stadium.

[TaboneMartialArts]

i challenge you to a battle at kitchen stadium...

[skraddypoo]

The hilarious thing is nobody checked what you were talking about.

"GMG Regulation Rules", indeed.

[orduni90]

yeah right!what kind of martial art do you know?

[shomik619]

my letf foot u can

[shomik619]

wats the tune???

[agitusija]

martial arts are the best

[255Knights]

Well every one have their martial arts... This only three? Out of 100s?

[Gigagecko2]

in this experiment they do a lot more than 3.

[Animechiongster]

eh. where can we watch fight science besides from national geographic channel?

[Olliewells212]

No where, it's only done with National Geographic

[kcelv]

Simplesmente PERFEITO! Um dos melhores estudos científicos referente ao corpo humano que já vi!

[noah9100]

AHAHAH

I feel like SUPA MAN

AHHAHAHAHAH

*gets serious*

in a VERY humble way XDDD

[gnaynek]

at 0:09 the karate master, yep thats afro ninja

[Dog23luv]

I wonder how would these people do in UFC

[redboxer555]

im sure they would murder them

[mohamedalibadr78]

What if a Sick person studied martial arts?

are there any tests done to poeple who study partial to check their mentality? cause this king of art could be fatal if put in evil hands...

[drottkrett]

Becoming a walking weapon is not so easy. If you're crazy, you'd be dangerous anyway.

Martial arts are mostly abou discipline. Once you get discipline, most part of fighters avoid things like street fighting.

[DynastyLuminous46]

@drottkrett Seeing most martial arts concentrate on keeping your safety, the most logical thing to do is avoid fights until it's really impossible to do so right?

[TKOinc2k8]

I want to do a martial art, but the schools are very limited were i live, the main one is boxing but i want to do something more exotic like capoeira or muay thai

[drottkrett]

Capoeira is not exactly a martial art. Muay thai is almost like kick boxing but using knees and elbows. Well...and dancing before fights.

[AznNikka911]

it a ritual that why they dance

[drottkrett]

I know, i was kidding.

[AznNikka911]

it ok i just know some stuff about it since my grandfather use to do mauy thai and he would alway tell me of his old fights

[siarrefiq]

muaythai is the most crazy one then its teakwondo .

[rockyboy201]

i live in england where can i buy the box set for fight science? please reply

[LovelyOneChann]

The boy of teakwondo is hot!

And I seen this two times @ National Geographic! Really liked it!

I do Body Combat but that's not that intensive.. I really like Capoeira though!

[airo2142]

capoeira is pretty awesome. i don't do it though- wish i did. i used to do karate, but my schedule got messed up and i had to stop going. i can still do most of my stuff though

[000skin999]

nobody's asking

[LovelyOneChann]

Karate is pretty awesome 2.. but i don't like the fact that you can't say 'stop' i just saw some guys practising Karate and one boy was totally under blood and he couldn't stop from his teacher, i think that's not good but ok, that's my opinion.

[airo2142]

well i guess we couldn't either, but even so we weren't as intense as say some other places. the worse some one got was when we were sparring and some one got punched in the face

[LovelyOneChann]

Yes well.. i think Karate is a little bit to much for me, haha maybe cause i'm a girl or something.. but i really like watchin it though!

[lordnick1575]

lol puched in the face is that it ive spared and in one fight i got puched in the face twice then kicked in the mouth onece then kicked into a door and yes it hurt like hell

[Sekkimaru]

lmao you idiot, these are master's and when you got punched in the face i bet it was against some kid on the street or something, these guys are trained for this and that punch the guy delivered it said was like a 35mph car crash

[Gigagecko2]

the punch wasn't, it was the knee crush from the Muay Thai fighter (yea...dam). The boxer i believe had the strongest punch which was just under half a ton of str.

[NonComedian]

Can someone tell me who the giant running into walls and the insect man who feels like superman(Humbley)are?I don't get that channel so I'm only watching it on here.

[sniper11789]

i do one of them and i love this show [ tea kwon do ]

[leaderoflostsouls666]

actualy wen you say that that its imposible to get a hit from knee to 34,iles per hour youre wrong, they are not making knee to car, its just same power as being hit with the car

[emartyr]

I don't think what they are saying is that the knee is strike is like getting "HIT" by a car.. It means its the same force as BEING the driver in a 35 mile per hour car crash, where you the driver strike the dashboard etc.. at the rate they describe. I mean....the sensors are ON the crash test dummy itself.. so they are not comparing the knee stike with being "HIT" by a car.. NO.. a car has much more mass than a knee.

[retardno002]

oh and by the way when that guy is saying that his knee produced the same damage as a 35 mp/h car crash... think again! a car moving 10 mp/h can break your back, legs, neck and even more because it is big it has a lot of mass and it does not stop when it hits you. a knee is just a knee even if inch over inch it packs the same punch as a car. it is not metal and it is not 2 tons heavy!

[swordsmanfabian18]

I was hit by a car going 45 miles an hour while I was in the crosswalk one night. My forehead broke the windsheild and I was thrown 10 feet into the air. I didn't break any bones [though my knee where the bumper hit was still in bad shape.]I didn't even lose conciousness. I also do martial arts, so I can speak from experience that these measurements are probably accurate. Remember, these are world-class masters they're studying. Not your average joe in a dojo.

[MagicPancake]

how can your head break the windshield while you are being thrown 10 feet into the air??

[swordsmanfabian18]

I was bent double over the hood of the car until the old bat stopped. [The bitch was 85 years old and didn't hit the breaks until she hit me.]All I know is, I went sailing through the air, and was picking little shards of glass out of the left side of my forehead as long as a week and a half later.

[L3G3NDfilms]

thank you! this idiot doesnt kno wat hes talking abt

[SilentChords]

Dude he said the same readings as a 35 mp/h car crash. A human body does not carry the same mass a car, so how can you expect the body to duplicate all of the damage that a car can. Get your facts straight before you post. I bet that you cannot even come close to reproducing ANYTHING that you have seen in this preview of the show.

[L3G3NDfilms]

a knee is not just a knee when ur a fighter but u prbly dont kno anything about fighting cuz ur prbly jst sm loser any way. and im a kickboxer so i kno wat im talking about quier!

[pinkisforhippylove]

dude, when you are a fighter, or anyone else, your knee, will always be a knee, and while you may use it as more than just a joint, that does not change what it is.

[TaboneMartialArts]

kick boxing is an inferior martial art..

10+ yrs kick boxing and muay thait

5th dan taekwondo

5 kyu blue belt karate

7+yrs wing chun kung fu

[GnostosAgnostos]

lol you know all that?

[kinjk]

Let me guess, you favor Muay Thai and Wing Chun?

[siggensax]

They calculate it into Joule, and than they can compear a car crash and a knee attack.

[GambleD13]

Just to clarify what I meant about the Boxer's punch, he generated numbers higher than EVERY other Punch AND Kick except the TKD spinning back kick and the inaccurate Muay Thai Knee.

The reason this is so amazing is that it is WAY easier to punch someone than to kick them, also you can belt out more punches than kicks per minuet. IMHO the Boxer should have gotten the credit as the best Martial Arts in this episode.

[maltby2610]

a wing chun master can punch 7 times in one second, the record is nine punches one second and they all still hurt belive me i do wing chun so wing chun should have won

[MagicPancake]

it takes one single puch from a boxer to knock you out. you as a wing chung master may need 14 punches.

[retardno002]

but with a series of wing tsun/wing chun punches the probability of hitting the target is way bigger than a single strong boxer punch... so think again. and ninjutsu is the best art. it is the ancient form of MMA and we know today MMA is best

[markdrew3535]

ninjutsu was never an art actually, it was samurai's who worked as assasins, so it was actually samuarai technic. History major by the way. The problem with how they measured the ninja punch (death punch) compared to all the rest is they stabilized the dumbie so it could not recoile and disfuse some of the energy. Arguing MMA fighting is the best this or that when it comes to this is silly because MMA punches are boxing punches, MMA elbows are Muai Thai elbows, MMA kicks etc......

[pinkisforhippylove]

all martial arts are the same in terms of effectiveness, the martial artist that wins, is the one with either the most luck, or the most mastery, and often both

[drenikiller]

lol... are you a clown?

[pinkisforhippylove]

yes, i find it an excellent way to molest small children, clearly you do as well

[shaolintemplemonk]

yeah but a kick is much longer and stronger

[GambleD13]

I saw this doco awhile ago and although it was relatively entertaining, I did have one major problem with it.

When measuring the kicks and punches the dummie remained still giving accurate and scientific readings, however when the Muay Thai guy kneed it, he grabbed the dummie and pulled it towards him, thus his reading was completely inaccurate, the dummy was accelearting towards him. What this means is that his knee may only have been HALF as powerful.

Also, the Boxer's punch dominated...

[mugiwara000]

That is amuzing

[Arcrenoa]

o.o meh?

[THBSTytbsr]

Ok, just saw it. My two cents:

Utterly ridiculous, misguided fallacy and misinformation with completely unsound and inconclusive 'evidence'. Is it even legal to label this a "documentary" of ANY kind (including a look at what kind of sh** passes as "acedemic entertainment" in the US)?

The seemingly undending torrent of inaccuracies, historical and otherwise, alone made my stomache turn.

[Joelberg11]

so you have all of the correct information then?

[THBSTytbsr]

Yes. Exactly. I have ALL of "THE information".

That's a perfectly rational conclusion and worthy of your confrontation.

But seriously, what would I start with? Yes there are extreme historical innacuracies and misinformation - go and find out for yourself concerning that - and how exactly can one single practioner of a style (with a relatively undiscriminatory qualification process), some of whom don't ACTUALLY practice said art (e.g. "Gongfu", which isn't even a style) be conclusive?

[THBSTytbsr]

Uh... that comment above was supposed to be the reply. I'm not sure what happened. More importantly, I simply do not have the time, patience or even space here to list everything that was wrong with that unless I could be permitted to say "everything".

Sure, you sound like you want to argue and, if/when possible, I shall. But only when you do your homework (and assuming you aren't as stupid as your comment). Of course, if you actually do some real research, I doubt you'll want to argue.

[THBSTytbsr]

...Anyone willing to teach me how to post replies? Clicking on "reply" is deceptively useless.

[Joelberg11]

lol mate i just assumed by your comment you had all the answers. im not really the type to argue with someone so obsessed with historical innacuracies and i was more interested in the science side of things anyway which is the main point of the program. by the way each of your comments did work as a reply

[THBSTytbsr]

oh yeah... well anyway, i'm not "obsessed" with historical inaccuracies (maybe a little about all the other ones though) and i'm not really here to argue either. It's good to see people interested in learning and gaining knowledge which is why i'm so irritated by this "documentary". If you are interested in [conclusive] science behind awe-inspiring human feats and MA in general I urge you to look elsewhere. --Though I admit the brief part dedicated to "breaking" offers some insight.

[Joelberg11]

well i never looked it as definite fact rather as an interesting view at things that definitly something can be taken from but not relyed on as stable evidence. it hardly covers my areas so i regarded it as an intriging watch rather than a how to guide

[woodchip200z]

hektik

[Drzacksmith]

To generate such forces the target needs to be stationary so that all momentum is transferred to it.

As "Bruce Lee" so succinctly put it "Boards do not hit back."

[KingR3aper]

Yeah didn't they already explain that in this show?

[Drzacksmith]

NO!

[KingR3aper]

Are you being sarcastic? O.o I'm pretty sure they did explain it..not word for word but like they were saying how your opponent wouldn't sit still for you to run into them.

[Drzacksmith]

Me Sarcastic Never! There saying that an athlete can generate a lot of power "AND"! You could get a power lifter too produce the same amount of power. And a ballet dancer or gymnast to be as agile probable more so, But somehow because it's linked to the "Mysterious Martial Arts" were some how meant to be spellbound. I want to know how much energy is transferred too a moving target, and then you can get some proper science done on combat ergonomics.

[tysonioani]

even so in a real fight when your oponent moves he moves in all directions in most cases towards you and pure physics will prove that if your fast moving fist is coming towards a body thats also moving towards the fist then there is going to be more impact then if your oponent is still....

[PENITR8]

i got popcorn jk

[bruinbrotkd]

i wanna break a brick with my face too!!

[FlyBoy1775]

go for it! im rootin for ya :) haha

[Ideaboy]

The black guy is the most famous kung-fu master ever... Afro Ninja. I am serious. check it up.

[wizzyk]

i feel like superman in a very humble way LOLOL!

[joshaz441]

did anyone else recognise the black nunchuck guy at the start??? he looks familiar??

[onikageoda]

he's in the crappy martial art video
