Watch various martial art forms on Discovery Channel

SHOW OF SKILL Wushu, a martial art practised in China
Discovery Channel explores different forms of martial arts as they are practised around the world as part of its “Fight Quest” show which premieres every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
Viewers get to follow hosts, rookie Doug Anderson and seasoned mixed martial arts fighter Jimmy Smith as they travel the globe learning about various forms of hand-to-hand combat — sometimes an ancient art, other times brutal street fighting — and face-off against a local, in a no-holds-barred test of skill at the end of each episode.
The martial arts that Doug and Jimmy explore include Asian fighting styles like Wushu from China and Kali from the Philippines, to Krav Maga from Israel, Brazillian Jiujitsu, and Mexican Boxing. Part of the series is set in Kerala where the exclusive martial arts legacy of Kalarippayat has been explored.
In between training, hosts Doug Anderson and Jimmy Smith with their very different personalities also take to the streets and immerse themselves in the sights, foods and smells of the local scene and find out that sometimes they will need more courage taking in the local cuisine. Explore histories and cultures often unseen by the outside world with Doug and Jimmy as they smack, kick, and pummel their way across the globe.
