No, you didn't read the title of this post wrong! This is a super cool old BBC martial arts documentary similar to the new Human Weapon series, but without the irritating numbskulls for hosts. There are a lot of episodes available and they are all so interesting I had a hard time choosing which to put up here. It came down to a choice between the Taiwan SWAT team episode vs. the Iron Penis episode. You see which one I picked to post. I recommend watching all the episodes.

I'd caught a few of these on the web awhile back, but the swat guys were certainly action packed. The iron penis thing left me very uncomfortable. My jaws were aching from me gritting my teeth. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI also thought Mind Body and Kick Ass Moves was a better series, and I found the followup series about "miracles" equally entertaining.
