    Show description

    Some guys like to fight. The rest of us like to watch.Call it "Going Tribal" meets "Fight Club", a blend of cultural immersion and good old fashion smackdown. Our hosts two very different personalities, both studious fighters with serious attitudes smack, kick, and maim their way around the world. In each location, they learn how the locals take each other out sometimes an ancient art of combat, other times brutal street fighting. Every week, we see a variety of fight types kick boxing, boxing, karate, etc. Each episode culminates with one of our hosts facing off against a local in no-holds-barred combat. In the end, only the best will win, and it's not always the host.Every fighting style reflects a history and culture often unseen by the outside world. Between bouts, the hosts immerse themselves in the sounds and smells of the local scene. Sometimes they'll need more courage taking in the cuisine than taking a punch.We'll chronicle their wanderlust to places far and wide. Hand-to-hand combat, and specifically martial arts, dates back to Zhou dynasty times, more than 2,500 years ago. It is a deadly discipline practiced in various forms in every country in the world. From dojos, to languages, to weapons, to sensei, to flying knees, double leg takedowns, and bull rushes, each episode lets us live vicariously through our hosts as they pummel their way around the world.
