Don't be put off by the terrible title

Writer and host Chris Crudelli, himself a martial arts expert, travels the world assessing the validity of miraculous claims and people and despite the ill-advised title this series has a lot going for it.

Throughout the course of the series Crudelli visits various Eastern cultures in an effort to either explain or be amazed by endurance feats, 'miracles', and martial arts, some of which are stunning others of which may make viewers wince.

One thing viewers may notice is Crudelli's unusual style, he tends to bring his brand of terminology (exemplified by the title)to situations which demand a more intellectual approach. Having said this his enthusiam for the series and the subject is very apparent making an already exciting premise more interesting still.
