Just watched Fight Quest:Ninjutsu. I'm embarrassed. By swiftpete - 01-28-2008 01:53 PM

=========

Just watched this. I don't know if anyone has seen this episode, the two fighters meet up with a ninjutsu instructor called yost fulton, they train for a week at various other schools, then have a bokken matchup at the end with a supposed 13th dan and 15th dan from his school. Incredibly, the guy that had only trained for a week with no prior martial arts training embarrassed the 13th dan, easily winning and the 15th dan guy when trying to go for an empty hand takedown was embarrassingly countered easily, thrown by his opponent and then presented his back for a nice rear naked choke. The untrained guy didnt actually put the choke in, but he easily could've.

Their lack of skill was embarrassing. At their rank, they should've not even been tested by 2 untrained amateurs never mind one of them losing!

Its a shame the program didn't feature anyone that actually has a bit of skill and hasn't just bought their grade. I am astounded by what I just saw and I am sure the 2 highly graded students must surely have been redfaced and sheepish afterwards.

Be aware the two "amateurs" aren't really all that inexperienced - the smaller guy is a jiu jitsu blue belt with a lot of training in muay thai and western boxing. The bigger bald-headed guy is a professional MMA fighter...
