4/5 Good show!
  by C Martial (Little Rock)
This is a solid DVD set. I have watched most of the episodes now, and was impressed.

The guys train boxing in Mexico, Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil with a Gracie camp, Muay Thai, Kali, and Krav Maga to name a few. All of which were highly entertaining. This may not be a "how to" DVD, but rather a peak inside each of the different styles.

I would not advise using these as training DVDs, as some of the stuff they do is pretty brutal, and I'm thinking this was done for entertainment purposes. Thats not to say that this is all fake, I believe what they were doing, and even use some of the things I saw in my training, but my advice is not to beat training partners into a pulp everyday!

5/5 Great

I was good & cheaper than buying the individual DVDs, this is what u need if ur a REAL martial artist or just trying to learn BASIC martial arts moves/techniques....

5/5 Excellent!

These guys are awesome. One of the best purchases I have ever made. I was always a Human Weapon fan, and people used to tell me about this show, and because I never saw it, I always just wrote it off. Thankfully I caught a rogue episode on the military channel, and the next day ordered the dvd set. I still love Human Weapon, but this show could be even better. The hosts/fighters are not only very personable, but they fight for real, no light sparring, real fighting, totally put there hearts and bodies into the fight. The only thing that pissed me off about this series, is that there was'nt a second season. I really wish they would have been able to do several seasons of this show, what more is there to say, it's great!

3/5 Why cut material for the DVD?
  by Joseph Skelding (Manchester, Connecticut United States)
I should preface this review by saying that Fight Quest was a great show. Much respect for Doug and Jimmy for their hard work and training! I think in a lot of respects it was better than its History Channel counterpart, Human Weapon. The hosts seemed to train harder, fight harder, and the show in general was focused more on fighting, as opposed to bits of history and computer animated techniques.

The problem with this DVD is that *a lot* of material got cut from every episode. I have no idea why Discovery thought this was a good idea, it steals a lot from the show. The stick training scenes in the Wing Chun and Kalarippayattu episodes were completely removed. In some cases, you lose a feel for the intensity of the style. The Kajukenbo episode was particularly hard hit in this way. They seemed to cut most of the training sequences, which are the meat of the show.

Bottom line, be aware that the quality of this DVD is not what you got watching the show on tv.
