human weapon : savate streetfighting airs on friday august 10 10:00 pm

hosts jason chambers and bill duff are in france, to study the combat art of
savate. literally translated to mean "old boot," savate developed through
necessity. in the early 1800s, violent street gangs looking for trouble ruled
the parisian underground scene. their prey was the aristocratic class who, to
protect themselves, began taking self-defense classes. over the years this
training evolved into modern savate - an exacting combat sport, and also the
official hand-to-hand assault system of the french raid police. on their mission
to uncover savate's distinct style, jason and bill navigate the dockyards of
marseille, roam the grounds of a 14th-century castle, and even breach a secret
police training site to practice and perfect the painfully efficient kicks and
punches that comprise this elegant yet ruthless art of combat. finally, one of
our hosts will enter the ring to take on a savate heavyweight champion.

lots of repeats, but next new ep is savate streetfighting on august 10 🙂

not very good quality. my opinion. could be better.

i thought this would be better than it was. i think it's just me, though, as
everyone else seems to like it.

i dunno. it just didn't seem to hold my attention. (which is a shame because
the topics are great)

:(

*shuffles off*

damn. those 70 year old karate masters are definitely human weapons! i think
they would take me out in about a second. 🙂
