It's back...
Human Weapon: Marine Corps Martial Arts Friday 10 PM EST
Hosts Bill Duff and Jason Chambers travel to Quantico, Virginia to get a painful lesson in the combat style that has helped spawn the Marines' widely feared reputation. They'll shoot, clash, and kick their way through the Marine Martial Arts Program, the Corps' self-invented fighting program that borrows over 180 deadly moves from ancient martial arts around the world. Along the way, they'll learn how Marines used their hand-to-hand combat and bayonet skills to defeat four German divisions at the Battle of Belleau Wood in France during WWI; how an elite unit known as the Marine Raiders fought their way across numerous Japanese islands during WWII; and they'll hear firsthand how Marines are putting their combat skills to the test in Afghanistan and Iraq.
