I agree. I have been looking forward to this series for a few weeks. It looks like a good cross section of martial art disicplines.

That they were doing silat or something else?

Brian Jones

No, just that they were doing Silat. Maybe it's finally getting ready to enter the mainstream. I'm glad that it's the season finale. I wonder if they're going to cover some ol' school Silat or just sport Silat, or just Silat Pulut.

watched the Muay Tai episode last night and I must say it was much better than I expected. I am looking forward to seeing more of the show

I enjoyed it, but it seemed that perhaps they tried to cover a little too much and the coverage was pretty cursory.
I also liked that they included the krabi krabong, all I know about it is from the Internet, but I felt that it took time from the fighting arts that pertained more to Muay Thai.
The militarized fighting style looked very interesting.

Oh, & I was dissapointed when the American didn't get his **** handed to him :)

I agree that the trailer for the FMA looks pretty good. We watched the Thai Boxing show and I was pretty impressed with it. Parts of the banter between the guys seemed hokey at times but over all it was pretty good. The fight coverage was excellent, even going so far as to explain the back ground of the training camps and such. Two thumbs up.

I hope the FMA segment is as good.

I'm pissed off that I missed it but I'll certainly be watching for the replay later this week.
