    ah my bad didnt rewatch it. I do remember the Thai knee, was compared to like a car crash at 30 mph or something like that. kinda sad they didnt test the kicks too, those are almost as brutal. Muay Thai training starts with kicking a flippin tree about 1k times a day so you can't feel shit when you pop them off with all your force.
    They tested some kicks in this version. It says 2006, so it seems like they redid some parts of it and re-aired it, because I definitely remember watching this show before then, but I hadn't seen this one.
    I meant the Thai kick along with the knee, I know they did other disciplines kicks.

    The idea of comparing styles scientifically is pretty damn cool, but they went way too crazy hyping everything - and it looked like they only did one person from each major martial art?

    I feel like a nerd saying this, but I would've enjoyed it more if they had a larger sample size. :/
    I think they used the current amateur champs from the time, except the boxing guy. I know the Muay Thai guy was the current champ at the time.
