Fight Science...oh it relates.

**Jester** · 09-04-2006, 10:07 PM

I was watching the National Geographic Channel and I cought the show "Fight Science" a show that talked of the physics of the various weapons of martial artists. The Bo staff, the nunchaku, and the katana were all mentioned, with the katana of course being called the most perfect weapon. That itself relates to TMNT, but there's more...

Toshishiro Obata was the "master swordsman" the called upon to demonstrate the shere power and grace of the katana.

Anyone else catch this show?

No, but it sounds interesting. Do you know if it'll replay?

It's times like this I wish I had cable. Noticed it in TV Guide or somewhere; it looks like it'd be really cool.

I'll check out the website, though. Thanks for the link.

it comes on once in a while, ive watched it before a few years ago, its really interesting honostly, it explains alot of things you learn if you take any form of trained fighting [boxing, karate, etc etc]

also: i dont know if this is allowed on the forums so i wont post it, but i have a torrent of it [im downloading it atm] and if anyoen wants it just say so, its rather big and not that good though, right now its going 16kbps for me and im on 3.5mbps dsl, and its 700mb large.

*edit* UPDATE: the speed is actually pretty good, it went up to 60kbps for a while, the average was abosut 50kbps...it took me overnight to get it, im watching it right now on myu comp
