Hey Mark - glad to have you aboard!
I forgot Tiger Claw donated some gear. I’m not directly involved with a lot that goes on with Tiger Claw. It’s our parent company; we’re a separate department. Did Tiger Claw get a credit for the show? We got stiffed by Mythbusters earlier this year. Anyway, many congrats on the show, Mark. I can’t wait to see it.
They will if it makes it in the show… 50 hours of film for a 43 min show…and they covered most of the names on shirts , gear , hats , gloves and just about anything with a name on it…
BUT…A BIG " THANK YOU " FROM GERRY’S MMA AND THE KAJUPIT CREW !
brand labels
Brand lables are a big issue for TV. Product placement has made any product that appears on TV (or in movies too) a matter of advertising revenue. Accordingly, a lot of advertisers don’t approve of giving out ‘freebies’. It’s understandable. We donated all this gear to Mythbusters too, hoping they’d use it. They did, but they digitally blurred our Tiger Claw logo on most of the images. It managed to slip through on the preview at least, and we were happy about that.
Glad the shoot went well for you. Be sure to let Thomas know - was he the one behind the donation?

YES…AND I WILL CALL HIM AND THANK HIM…YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME AND NICOLE:)
I am anticipating the Kung Fu and Kajukenbo episodes. Should be good. I had read about this…I think in Black Belt Magazine.
BTW, I liked Human Weapon. Some people wanted a hardcore martial arts show but it was educational and action filled to be interesting any martial arts fan.

Nice fight. The lock looked like it did some internal damage.
Looks just like human weapon. We’ll see how they present it.

"Mrs. Rabbit: Thumper!
Thumper: Yes, mama?
Mrs. Rabbit: What did your father tell you this morning?
Thumper: [clears throat] If you can’t say something nice… don’t say nothing at all.)l

After seeing the Wushu promo I can say I’m not impressed. They fight Sanda. Ok cool. But then they have them break bricks and do “stick” forms. And it’s not a stick it’s a staff. They should have spent more time on more effective training methods for Sanda. At least in human weapons they had breakdowns of moves. This just looks like a survey of Shaolin Wushu in a week and then they fight. The only thing I liked was during the last part where the 2 hosts did vagabond tricks breaking bricks. And even then it wasn’t that impressive since anyone can break a brick and I’ve seen it before.

Being stuck in Italy until New Year’s, I couldn’t watch it b/c it was a premium channel on the dish where I’m at…but it doesn’t look like i missed anything exciting
Pretty much like Human Weapon, but they did a much better job with selecting what to show. The San Da level was much higher than what we saw on Human Weapon. The list of upcoming stuff is better too.
Boxing in Mexico City, with Nacho Berstein, one of the best boxing coaches of this era? That’ll be bloody, lol.
Well they did train with Shi De Yang and Shi De Cheng. That was somewhat impressive.
This show shows some promise.
