Storyline
Documentary examining the world of martial arts.
I was hoping for a documentary in the vain of "Warriors" on the history channel. That is, a documentary about how the different martial artists practice their arts, how they work, and so on.
Instead we are presented with a 'documentary' that has more religious garbage in it, in the guise of 'mysticism', 'chi', and 'body energies'. After about 2 minutes I had enough, but having recorded it on the PVR, did a 'flick through to see if it gets better." It did not. The 'finger wrestling' was my favourite I think. The 'kung fu' master would wrestle with his pinky and 'throw off the centre of gravity' of his assistant, then the host would try, and fail. But at a 'touch of the master' the assistant would again roll over because: 'I could feel the energy. It was something X-files happening there."
Why is it that martial arts requires spiritualism? Why is it that we need to convert to "chi" in order to understand why person X can punch really well?
If you're after a good documentary about the martial arts and their methods, this isn't it. If you're after a show about chi, energy, and other hocus pocus garbage... step right up.
