Wow, so much negativity....

Personally, I think the show looks really cool. They claim to have fighters from lots of different areas, including a world-class Muay Thai fighter (Not sure if the claim is truthful, thats just what they claimed) and it looks like they are recording lots of measurments like power production, speed, accuracy, reflexes, balance all from a variety of kicks and punches, etc.
They even had a tid bit that looked like they will address the idea of whole-body connectedness.

As a martial artist, I jump for joy any time there is anything on TV even remotely to do with martial arts, whether its a UFC fight or a wushu form competition--this TV show is no different, and the only reason I wont be watching it next Sunday is because I have better things to do with my money than pay for cable...
