Martial arts – Science or an Art? Codified practice or traditions of combat? Self-defense or spiritual development? HISTORY unravels the mysteries behind the coveted technique of combat through a unique series titled “Human Weapon” where martial art adventurers Jason Chambers and Bill Duff embark on a quest to learn the secret techniques from the masters. Their quest takes them around the world to the extreme corners of the planet in search of the fabled schools of combat.
Karate, Kung Fu, Capoeira, Muay Thai - each style of the combat art has a unique and a fascinating past. Each new episode of the Human Weapon will witness the two hosts set out on a quest to find a Sensei of a different martial art style who would take them back in time narrating the history and legend of the fighting style.
Watch Senseis showcase several techniques that define a fighting style while helping the hosts practice a few forms. At the end of each episode, watch the hosts put their newly acquired skills to the test combating a representative of the episode's fighting style.
The hosts will also explore the unique and intriguing local cuisines of the region; join the duo while they sample steamed silk worms accompanied by a sumptuous serving of snake blood en route to a face-off with the reigning Taekwondo champion in South Korea or while they ride elephants to meet a historian who will explain how ‘Muay Thai’ was crucial in Thailand's victories.
Travel across the Orient and witness sights that would both amaze and shock you! Explore the hidden world of martial arts through the eyes of Jason Chambers and Bill Duff in ‘HUMAN WEAPON’ only on HISTORY TV 18!
