This production borders on the ridiculous. It is over-blown, full of itself and little more than product placement for the XMA brand. Its focus on point fighting as "extreme" is laughable; be prepared for hyperbole and exaggeration at the highest level about how "lethal" and "demanding" point fighting is. The program does nothing to inform the viewer about realistic fighting techniques such as Muay Thai, mixed martial arts, jujitsu, etc. There's no actual science here, just a thinly disguised commercial. A true dis-service to martial artists everywhere. The only redeeming factor is the somewhat interesting 3-d visuals sprinkled throughout. Buyer beware.
