One of my favourite series of recent times has been the excellent Mind, Body And Kickass Moves. In this initial BBC3 series of 12 documentaries, martial arts expert Chris Crudelli travels all over the globe examining different martial arts from different cultures.
He then followed it up with a six-part series called Kickass Miracles, which focused on the more esoteric side of martials arts training. This again was utterly fascinating but it also featured one of the nastiest but funniest moments I’ve ever seen on TV.
In it an escrima master goes through a ritual to demonstrate how he can switch himself into fighting mode and he attempts to show how this ritual empowers him and even makes his arm invulnerable to the hacks of his own razor-sharp machete.
And I’ve now found it on Youtube. Just type in kick ass miracles-escrima jackass.
Enjoy…
