What is Final Fu?
I just saw the last 10 min of this show on MTV2. It was like a reality show with stunts and eliminations and they had to spar at the end, but no head contact. It’s hosted by Ernie Reyes Jr., but I didn’t recognize him until they gave his name at the end.
Go to the Martial Media forums… there’s a topic in there about it.
The name, Final Fu, SuxAzz.
The stunts and challenges highlight what’s wrong with most.
And the fighting at the end makes me cringe.
It’s everything that I hate about the martial arts rolled into one horrible show.
The only good thing that I can say about it is it’s only 30 minutes long and not an hour. If they really wanted to show how bad what is currently taught in many martial arts schools, they’d have them doing musical kata dressed like Teletubbies.
Lol, I love watching bad MA’s, I will have to check it out.
Hmm, appears to be a US remake of a British show called “fightschool” from about 4 years ago.
Man, they might as well call this show “slap fu”, because that’s what a lot of the fighters were doing when they “fought” each other.
This show isn’t bad. I can understand the point based system, its in place to give the girls in the show a chance against the guys when they fight each other.
The obstacle courses determine who’s going to fight, and it also gives you points. The entire competition is point-based. If you win the courses, and the fights, you’ll win the competition overall.
One thing this show proves is that hot girls still prefer TKD over any other MA. :eek:
You know what the sad part is? I find myself watching the blasted thing. I do the samething with some info-mertials.
If there were any kung fu they would be punching the targets that were head high and kicking the targets that were waste level. just a-nother example of a great TKD guy with money trying to make his korean art the best. Kung fu rules. this show has potential and I see where the head judges descision is final but it is so gay they should call it make an ass of your self fu. and generally discrase all martialarts fu to get on TV.
when the hell is this on???
They really made a mistake by not including nerf weapons and mexican wrestler masks.
heavy on the ghey that show is. lol
america’s martial arts are sooooo commercial. The value of them is sucked right out and tossed in the trash in favour of the flash and stupid ass posing.
too bad, But then, I guess it keeps the herd away from teh good stuff if they are always wtareing themselves at that trough.
hahaha. suckers.
Hey anyone remember when Ernie Reyes Jr. was on that show “Sidekicks” in the 80’s…wasn’t Chuck Norris on there also?
Anyhoo, this XMA type of crap will always end up on TV because it looks flashy.
“Real” martial arts is pretty boring to watch.
FP
final poo
yeah, i cant stop watching that stupid show either. i hate it but i cant look away which makes me hate it more. anyway, i finally understand why people think martial arts are BS. This is the what America sees when they think of MA. Its depressing. i cant believe they give more points for jumping spinning kicks. its such an impractical attack. i am going to go now. i am sad.
That was the worst i have ever seen.
Take some 10 year old kids put some gloves on them and you would have a more entertaining show of skill.
I cant even believe that it made it to tv, nor can i believe the participants would even show their faces.
I saw 1 episode. guy was rolling around like monkey. and they are saying wow check out his wonderful display of skill. Had to puke after that one…
I still stand by my original comment on this show:
If you win the courses, and the fights, you’ll win the competition overall.
No you won’t. That guy Matt came in first on one challenge placed high in the rest. Won all his fights but came in 5th place and was kicked off the show. Meanwhile the girl that placed in the top 4 pretty much lost everything she was in
Maybe grand prize for final foo’ should be a spot in next season’s “The Ultimate Fighter” 
You know, I’d actually pay to see that one…
you wouldn’t even have to pay for that one my friend, i’d have a viewing party at my house & we’d all watch it together…bring your own bottle 
you know it will never happen though, at such high levels of proficiency these guys can’t break out their best moves: “our moves are t3h d34dly, way too intense for sport” :rolleyes: It’s for the good of humanity of course.
So I just got through watching the fights on MTV Overdrive.
I’ve seriously seen better fights at point competitions. The only good technique in the entire show was the left hook to the throat. Dude went dooowwwwnn!
Anyways, i’ll never watch it again. It’s disgusting.
