[NEWS] IMA features Doug Anderson of Discovery Channels “Fight Quest”

Actually the entire episode is pretty good. Doug Anderson is one of the hosts of the Discovery Channel’s Fight Quest. If you’ve never heard about or seen an episode, two guys travel the world to train traditional and/or modern forms of various martial arts. They spend a week with each master and then fight each other in the end. Here’s a trailer from the 2007 season on their visit to the Philippines:

In addition to featuring Doug Anderson, Inside Martial Arts (IMA) does an interview with a hybrid style facility that provides not only martial arts but a training ground for Airsoft. I think this creates a unique kind of training center. Instead of there being aerobics or yoga, I can go learn how to clean my M15 that’s been sitting in the closet for months now…

I think if they throw in CrossFit, they will have a winning formula. It’s interesting to see the consolidation of several types of physical activities being provided under one roof. We’re not talking about the latest Jazzercise move but with options such as indoor rock climbing, Eskrima or Airsoft to choose from, it could make for a very fun therapeutic family outing!

Its interesting to hear Anderson’s perspective on his martial arts experience, not just with the training but the all the environments Anderson was able to soak in.
