Thanks for telling me AFTER it was on!

No problem!

I only caught the last 40 mins

Anyways here are some things that might be of interest. INCLUDING the repeat of the above!

National Geographic channel :-

Tonight
11:00 pm WARRIORS OF THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION

Tommorrow
5:00 pm THAI BOXING : A FIGHTING CHANCE

11:00 pm THE KUNG FU DRAGONS OF WUDANG (this is about the Internal arts at Wudang Moiuntain - it is a bit shitty actually, lots of modern Wu shu. But there are some good bits!)

Friday December 12
11:00 pm MYTHS & LOGIC OF SHAOLIN KUNG FU : EPISODE 1 again mostly modern wu shu - but i think there is some san shou in there too.

Hope this stops ya crying!

Didn't catch it, did however watch Night of Combat on Ch5 at about 1:20am.

Anyone else see that?

The final Title fight was worth watching, if only out of a morbid, almost Naseem-like 'watch the Thai throw his title away' fascination.

That is what we in the Internet Forum business refer to as an oxymoron.

oxymoron
n : conjoining contradictory terms (as in `deafening silence')

i don't see how..

american jokes on french not being warriors.. being chickens and stuff just isn't going trough anymore! passè.. you didn't know? well NOW you know..

(i just never understood the brave part of always attacking smaller opponents.. smart? yes, ofcourse.. brave? not really..

If that was the same National Geographic special my Kru Bob Carver and Ajarn Chai were in it looked pretty good from what I saw.... but I have yet to see the whole thing and I don't know how that is going to happen way over here in Thailand... I don't see myself getting satelite any time soon bleh.

Can anyone confirm that it was indeed the one with Ajarn Chai and Kru Bob Carver?

I dont mate - sorry.

That doc on the FFL was very good actually - Some seriously tough guys!!! AND I MEAN TOUGH!

They had some Unarmed combat in there and some garrot and knife work.

One guy was so tired when training that he collapsed so they threw him in the sea - your choice is now wake up or drown!

nice!
