[Blogger note: The episode mentioned is Fight Science: Fighting Back]

ONE of our Black Belts called our attention to a new edition of a show called "Fight Science". Segments may be accessed on the National Geographic Channel. We googled the Show and thought much of what was presented to be quite good (with the sole exception of what appeared to us to be a rather misguided "defense" against a drunk, by a UFC fighter). Blows that were advocated by the defense experts in this Show were excellent, and on the money. The ear box, smashing the throat, attacking the eyes, biting — all excellent and very reliable material.

It is obvious to all — save possibly those with all of their irons in the MMA/Cage/UFC fire — that vicious and powerful BLOWS to the body‘s most vulnerable and vital target areas constitute the way to go for real world combat and defense. One need only see how absurd , when juxtaposed to the striking and gouging methods, the grappling demonstration was. At least this is our personal opinion. We realize that no one amongst the True Believing New Breed Of Grappling/Competition-Is-The-Way-To-Go crowd would or could ever permit themselves to see our point.

We‘re writing, as we always have been, to the real world oriented MINORITY.
Check out that Fight Science presentation. It‘s worth watching. There are two male instructors and one female, plus a Navy SEAL, who are very impressive.

We applaud the producers of this excellent Show.
