Take for example, Musashi the greatest samurai to ever live. You think someone with 'standardized' training would be capable of the things he did? No. Samurai's trained over their whole lifetime, because for most of the samurai's time in Japan they were in constant state of war for hundreds of years. Secondly, I haven't watched the show, but Samurai carried with them Bow, Katana, Wakizashi, Tonto's, etc. It wasn't some guy in cloth running around with a sephiroth styled Katana... Freyr if you know anything about the training samurai went through (especially with the bow), you will know that Samurai were, if not still the most disciplined fighters in the entirety of human existence. No other soldier endured the constant state of wars for so long, and such long training tradition. | ||

They could wall themselfs off by making a wall with their shields to protect everyone against incomming arrows (as seen in 300) and there was a lot of strategic shit involved. Now you take one of these, and put him up against a fighter who is designed to kill people 1on1, and he wins 522 out of 1000 battles? Even if the viking lost, I still consider him superior, mostly because im norwegian. | ||

It may sound a bit cheesy, but the show itself is really great, they do so much awesome things, and you get a good look into the different fighting styles. They test 5 different weapons from each fighting style, and also dividing them into long range, close range, medium range. So far, 4 episodes have been broadcasted, and I have seen 3 of them, and looking forward to watching the fourth tonight. So far, this different matchups are Spartan vs Ninja Samurai vs Viking Gladiator vs Apache Knight vs Pirate So if you are into basic discovery programs, and like to see different weapons implemented on defenceloss simulationdolls, then this is the program for you, almost like mythbusters. Looking at the IMDB page, this show will have 8 episodes, so there are still 4 more matchups to be revealed, I really do wonder what they will be.. nm, IMDB episode list tells me 5: Yakuza vs Mafia 6: Green Beret vs Spetnaz this I think will be a cool one 7: Maori warrior vs Shaolin Monk 8: William Wallace vs Shaka Zulu (I have no idea who he is) 9: Taliban vs IRA I really do wish they would compare the winners, into the simulation program, to determine the "ultimate" fighter  didnt they do this on the new season opener? | ||

Granted, I still love the show and watch it mainly for the bad-ass weaponry. | ||

Im psyched for Vlad vs Sun Tzu and Immortal vs Celt and Centurion vs Rajput warrior.
