  • fight quest on discovery channel

    Just saw a preveiw for this on the discovery channel. From what I can gather it is just like human weapon but with differnt hosts. Here is a little blurb I found about it:
    The two American hosts, with backgrounds in other martial arts, go from one Asian country to another to try their different martial arts. They split up, each going to train with a different school. After a few days, they meet again and fight the baddest fighters they can find of that martial art. (see just like human weapon, hopefully this show will be better)

    They are doing a kung fu episode 12/28 @ 10 pm

    The "kung fu" episode is probably the one I set up for them in Shaolin, with DeYang and DeCheng. It was supposed to come out this past summer (I organized it for them in March 2007, they shot it I think in June or so).

    They were then going to go to Thailand, where I was going to assist them with a Muay Thai segment, but they got sidetracked to another country. The Muay Thai segment is supposedly still being planned, as of this past summer.

    Haven't heard from them since.

      Did you post something about that a while back? I seem to remember you talking about helping the discovery channel set someting up in shoalin. I just hope this show is better than human weapon. Although, from the discription, it sounds like the the same show, differnt channel and hosts.

        Did I miss the Kung Fu episode? I saw a Karate one and a french kicking style one(cant remember the name). Damn I guess I missed it. The discovery channel needs to play their fight shows like this and Last One Standing in reruns more instead of just showing reruns of Survivorman and Mythbusters all day. Or maybe I just need a TIVO.

            The kung fu episode was the first one they aired. I think they reran it last week. I tried to find a link to the video but I couldn't find one, just clips.

            Here a link about the guys on the show http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/fight-quest/ring/ring.html

              Fight Quest was canceled by Discovery Channel. Apparently, they did not get the ratings that they needed. They needed a rating of 900 something (or 900k, I forget), and they only got around 700. So, no more. The producer that I worked with is now freelancing, and North South productions is moving on to other projects.

                Where did you find out that it was cancelled? Do you know if they air going to air the remaining episodes? That kind of sucks, I though it was better than human weapon.

                  I think that there were 13 episodes, and they are all done filming them. Discovery continues to air them, but no new ones will be done according to the producer that I worked with in Shaolin. I stay in touch with them.

                      Oh, by the way. The show did not get canceled. I meant to tell you this a while ago, but I forgot.

                      They contacted me about doing a Muay Thai episode in Thailand well over a month or two ago. The show got taken over by a different production team.

                      Looks like there will be another season of this.
