In the ultimate search for a human weapon, mixed martial artist Jason Chambers and football pro Bill Duff travel the world and put their bodies on the line as they train in the most lethal forms of combat before going toe-to-toe with masters of each fighting style. In HUMAN WEAPON: MILITARY COMBAT, Jason and Bill train in Krav Maga, the renowned Israel Defense Forces form, as well as the formidable U.S. Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP).
Specifically designed for the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1940s, Krav Maga is dirty, anything-goes fighting meant to disarm and destroy assailants carrying multiple weapons. Chambers and Duff journey to some of the most sacred religious sites in the world while learning to escape deadly chokes, deflect weapons, and perfect ruthless counterattacks in their quest to become true human weapons. And in the States, Duff and Chambers report to Marine Corps Base Quantico to get a painful lesson in the hand-to-hand style that has helped spawn the Marines' widely feared reputation. They shoot, clash, and kick their way through the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, an amalgam of the most effective fighting techniques from martial arts around the world.
In this special two-episode collection, watch what happens when, after intense training,
our hosts put their Krav Maga ans MCMAP skills to the test against masters of the forms. Are Chambers and Duff up to the challenge? An entertaining history lesson filled with authentic, hardcore martial arts action and analysis, HUMAN WEAPON: MILITARY COMBAT is a must-have for the every-growing number of mixed martial arts fans!
