"Fight Science" on Nat'l Geographic Ch.



I watched this show on Sunday that's part of a series about the science of fighting. The episode I happened to catch was the one focusing on Mixed Martial Arts fighting. It was really cool.

It tells you about a lot of different things like how some Muay Thai fighters kick their shins up against tree trunks. This causes the nerve ends to deaden and their bones to calcify and become stronger. Or how a good punch is a result of kinetic energy - therefor the force of the punch isn't solely from the arm but the whole body.

My only complaint about the show is that it was only an hour long. I really enjoyed it.
