<<<I can't believe nobody has commented on the Discovery Channel's
program "Extreme Martial Arts" which aired 2 weekends ago.  Did anyone
else catch it?  What is everyone's overall opinion of it?>>>

I too could not suffer to sit through the entire program. Although it
was moderately interesting, that "tournament circuit" stuff is a whole
different world compared to my experience. Although the physical
abilities of some of these guys were very impressive, it somehow evokes
the image of a beauty contest, or talent show, to me. 

Everything has its place however, and more power to them. The worst part
of it is the image it creates for the non-martial artist. Guys at work
were raving about how awesome these guys are, and I just nod my head and
think to myself "sure thing, if you think so".

I started to watch the XMA show, but I am a notorious channel surfer.  All I 
managed to see in the first hour was those ribs being broken, over and over 
again.  But that fella just kept popping up off the floor good as new.  I 
don't get it :)  What bothered me most was there were so many previews and 
recaps right in the show that there was no time left for any real content.  
I was bored and disappointed so I didn't even bother with the second hour.  
If I had taped it, I could FF through it like someone wrote earlier.
