The boss left for a week and I thought I would be free to blog, but I’ve been busier this week running in between two offices and dealing with a snowstorm so this is pretty much a lost week.
Here’s a program that you might be interested in watching tonight. It’s another installment of “Fight Science” that runs tonight on National Geographic Channel.

Watch as experts in Brazilian capoeira, karate, tae kwon do, and muay Thai kickboxing execute hair-trigger techniques that push the limits of human ability with their speed, agility and force. Watch as a martial artist demonstrates evasive maneuvers combining balance and dexterity while moving through a laser beam obstacle course and a Shaolin warrior breaks a steal-tipped spear aimed at his throat, allegedly by manipulating the body’s powerful energy.Video “Free Runners” – Free runner, Ryan, leaps from a 9-foot platform and lands with featherlight ease.
Video “Super Human Ninja Girl” – Fight Science tests Mindy’s strength and flexibility against one of the best security systems modern technology can offer.
Video Blogs – The power of chi can’t be explained by science.
As always, the program looks quite fascinating. Fight Science airs on National Geographic Channel tonight at 9 ET/PT.
