When honor and discipline became universal values, and everyone sought self-preservation, martial arts were born. As times changed, modern martial arts, though still bound by unbreakable rules, have developed entirely new concepts. They have become highly "acrobatic"—dynamic, pushing the limits, and entertaining. Yet, regardless of the direction martial arts take today, they will not disappoint past masters, as they all uphold the spirit of discipline and honor in martial arts. Discovery Channel will take viewers into the ultimate world of martial arts, where you will see for the first time what happens when bones collide with bricks and minds confront matter. Through the demonstrations of martial artists, animators, and biomechanics experts will use the latest technology to showcase an unprecedented view of the human body. How hard can a martial artist kick? How fast can they punch? How can a person break hard concrete with their hands? These answers will be revealed in the program with stunning visual effects. At the same time, we will follow Matt Mullins, who has won five consecutive U.S. National Martial Arts Championships, as he prepares to train and return to the intense world tour.
