This is the Fight Science that is most likely to affect a real life, perhaps even save a life. It is the science of self-defense. The self-defense and fight-training industry is a multi-billion dollar behemoth, with everything from Tae Bo to real-world "Fight Clubs"...and everything in-between. It is an industry fueled by speculation and our animal instinct for survival. But one thing it is not, and has never been: scientific...until now. It is time for science to step into the fray and to answer questions that have lingered for ages. The most fundamental question: if you were in a fight for your life, what would you do? Real experts like bouncers, cops, and bodyguards will join leading scientists to find real answers and not just to fun questions like "Are Beer Muscles for real?" or "Could Fight Clubbers match fists with the Pros?". There are important scientific questions such as "What is the most effective way for a smaller victim to ward her larger attacker?", "What does it really mean to use someone's size or strength against them?", "Is an eye gouge effective? What about a strike to the nose?" or perhaps most of important of all, "Is a kick in the groin really the ultimate self-defense tactic and if so, why?" And the questions go way beyond fingers and fists like "How can a car key be used to fend off an attacker?", "Is a ball point pen a lethal weapon? If so, where is the most vulnerable "puncture point" on the human body?" and "How can a cell phone save your life...even if the battery is dead?". This could be the most important programme you will ever watch. It will deepen your understanding of the human body's capabilities. It will explain the human fascination and need for fighting even in modern society and it will cut away the fiction from decades of dangerous myths and erroneous advice.
