they do tests on the ninjitsu practitioner. ninjas have the best sense of balance, and the most deadly art. they have this punch called the death punch which can actually kill with one blow. cuz that punch manipulates muscles and nerves to cause the heart to slow down and stop. kinda like a reverse CPR

then....

suiton, suiyuden no jutsu.

Yeah. There were 4 martial artists in the show, and the TKD guy registered the hardest hit on a punching pad. Actually, his technique was awful, even by modern TKD standards. The other 3 were just lighter and crappier than he was.

All 4 guys should have the same physique to be able to run a proper test.I would pick a boxer if this is the case.

It was a fun show to watch; nice computer graphics and all. But watching it dropped my opinion of National Geographic as a serious science channel by miles. The people who did the show obviously had not the faintest idea how to set up proper experimental controls, do representative sampling, etc.

"Hey, the skinny Wushu guy can sissy-punch really fast. This proves that Chinese Kung Fu has the fastest fists!"

I regret to say that I exaggerate not. The show really is that moronic.

Sho Kosugi the actor, really helped promote Ninja awareness with his Ninja movies of the 80s in America.Unlike his father ,Ken Kosugi does not have the screen charisma playing a Ninja so he has down graded to B-rated movies and playing Kindergaten host on Japanese TV.We all need an Asian action hero in Hollywood now,problem is they either die young,ugly looking & clownish or cant speak English enough.

LOL, that is true. But on the other hand, knowing it means you will have to learn to guard them or you will be the one that ends up handicapped or dead. This is the most effective strategy, but even an average person will know how to guard against them (without knowing they are deadly points). I'll put it to instincts.

i think muay thai is the most interesting.

The body conditioning and training in muay thai is incredible if you cant use use your body as a weapon you sure can tong when people whack you upside down. but seriously muay thai is straignt forward combat art
If you are thinking of killing and maiming people then first learn the weak points that are located all over the human body.It is interesting to note that some of these points are also healing points.

Dr. Hatsumi(of philosophy) was also the first ninja to accept in-house gaijin disciples.

??? Taijutsu was the body techniques used by religious medicants(yama bushi) and lay followers of such medicants. As some of the lay followers settled down into villages, they transmitted the self defence methods to fellow villagers. Ninjutsu was something the sukbo (villager spies) first used in the civil wars of Japan with certain combat techniques of taijutsu for close in combat.
