Rep Power: 12 | | | Fight Quest
Just finished watching the series. Although I thought some of the fights where....unbalanced to say the least. I found the show very informative entertaining. I especially liked the Kyokushin episode.
What does everyone think?
Just for the record I think its a whole lot better show then Fight Science... Overview of the Series - The Show - Fight Quest - Discovery Channel

Rep Power: 99 | | | That program is quality - the Savate episode was pretty good too. Kyokushin was one of the best - you can see the bloke's really taking a kicking.

Rep Power: 100 | | | Blimey, I actually agree with Solera on this one- I thought it was the most awful, choreographed, unrealistic nonsense I have seen since "King of the Kickboxers". |

you didn't see the Kyokushin episode then, the fella's knee swelled to the size of a melon. The savate episode was pretty good too.

Rep Power: 100 | | | I watched the Silat episode, where they had this fakey fakester 10 man challenge at the end which was craptastic! If they got hurt with Koyokushinkai karateka that says more about the integrity of the karateka than of the stars of the show imo! |

Rep Power: 99 | | | I'd argue that the protagonists are up for the scrap, it's their various hosts protecting their own reputations (which in the case of Kyokushinkai they do by beating the stuffing out of you...)

Rep Power: 41 | | | I liked Fight Quest. Sure I can pick at lots of little things I didn't like, but I was entertained and got to see all sorts of places around the world and hear many perspectives on MA. Also, the two hosts both had good hearts and showed a lot of determination.
