Documentary examining the world of martial arts.Martial arts expert Chris Crudelli travels through China, Japan and the Philippines in his search for the original Masters of martial arts disciplines. He learns about ninja, tai qi, kung fu, the deadly dim mak and many more.

02
Presenter Chris Crudelli visits a Taipei fight club and visits a film set in Beijing, where he is taught how to fly in the 'Crouching Tiger' style. In the
UK, two female show wrestlers take Chris through their paces and in Hong Kong the spirit of Bruce Lee is invoked by a sprightly 80- year old.

====

03
A deserted village in China is the setting for a Daoist sect to invoke spirits that protect against blades, blows and fire. In the Philippines the protective power of amulets is machete-tested on a man's stomach. Chris meets Ushiro, master of the original Okinawan karate, in Japan.

====

04
Master Presas in the Philippines reveals the martial arts techniques hidden in simple dance steps. Chris meets his match on the Great Wall of China, as the Chinese Master of ancient Tai Qi uses him for target practice. Back in the UK, we see life saving techniques on a beach in Cornwall and self-defence tricks on the streets of Brixton.

05
Chris has a bone to pick with meat packers at Smithfield Market in London. In Japan the ancient art of horseback archery is uncovered in a Shinto temple, while in a busy Hong Kong kitchen, the Living Treasure of China teaches Kung Fu cooking. Back in the UK, pizza delivery boys learn how to dish it out when it cuts up rough and we reveal the secrets of Philippine machete fighting.

===============

06
In Japan, two men fight with swords on a deserted beach. When Chris follows them into their dojo the Master finger wrestles him on the ground. Also, how animal moves inspired the Chinese Lion Dance, and in Wales rugby players are effortlessly converted to Kung Fu drinking games. Meanwhile, the Taiwanese anti-terrorist SWAT team engage in some real life martial mayhem.

==========

07
Documentary series examining the world of martial arts. In Japan, Master Tanaka and his daughter excel in the art of the sword. Chopping down arrows in mid flight can only be done 'when you and the sword are one'. The same intuitive relationship allows Master Presas in the Philippines to stick fight whilst blind folded, and improving intuition is what drives the acolytes of Master Aoki in Japan to stand under freezing cold waterfalls.

Fans of blueyoyo- Tiger peeked my interest...it'll be there soon (by friday)

GOOD! Can't wait until you (and others) see some of those as well!

Its impressive as hell.. he goes to see many of the masters of the martial arts world.. and the ones with 'chi' are amazing. You gotta see them to believe it.

Actually, it got me real interested in the more spiritual world of martial arts.

Once you've seen an episode or two or three.. give a few posts, just curious to see what others impressions are of the show.

By the way, the 1st episode is the least interesting I've seen so far (I've seen about 7 so far). So if someone is ONLY going to see one episode to judge the series, I'd recommend viewing just about any one but the first one. (Also the shows aren't chronological, meaning its completely irrelevant which order you view the shows).
