watched it just once
saw Maori warrior v Shaolin master, had to watch it to the end just to find out. The computer gave it to the Shaolin more times than the Maori. Funniest line was at the end, when the Maori warrior opined that the computer was probably Chinese.

Deadliest warrior I ever knew was Bob Howard - these guys are pu$$ie$ compared to Bob when he was on the battlefield and the $hi* was on.

He was the OIC of Phase One when I went thru. Took us on our first ruck run. We went about 7 miles and came back thru the gate and marked time for a while, then he asked us if we were warmed up, and we went around again. Lotta guys bounced the gate that day!
When we did the final 12 miler, a buddy of mine and I passed Bad Bob about the final third of the ruck. We got to our assembly area, and I said "I thought Col. Howard was supposed to be a stud. We just passed him like he was standing still."
My Team Leader said, "Yeah, well, you need to shut the f... up, 'cause that's his second time around. He went around with the Officers this morning."
I wish somebody would write a book about that Hero. I've read a couple that profiled him, but he deserves his own biography.
He will always be an inspiration to me.

While some skills cross over - doing lots of non-leathal force on force can lead to some bad habits. Cover vs concealment is a glaring one.

I can attest to that, sir, after having found cover behind several skinny trees during STX Lanes.
It would seem that the motivations for finding something solid and large to hide behind are instrinsically different when discussing the differences between paintball and war, not that I claim any knowledge of to the latter.

I want to settle this long time feeling on who's the toughest movie star hero......  I want to see the"Duke"(SF) vs. Charlie Sheen(SEAL)........  To make it a fair fight,(Charlie is the young blood). We will tie Duke's right arm behind his back,tie a big boulder to his left leg then cover his both eyes......Vegas odds give the Duke 170 to 1........
The odds on how long it will last are:100 to 1,on 60 seconds,150 to 1, 30 seconds. This of course having the Duke to win and how long it would take to do it.........Any ideas?

Hell - Steve McQueen would've kicked the living dog $h*t out of Charlie Sheen - and the Duke wouldn't have even seen an increase in his pulse rate.

Edit: That and it's always fun to see a 17-year SF vet get his ass handed to him in a Zulu stick fight

For having never done it before, he does surprisingly well, but it makes for pretty surreal television to see him squared up against a guy in full impi warrior garb, wailing on each other with these clubs.
There's a whole marathon on today, and on account of the 24-hour downpour, I ended up watching a quite a good deal of episodes. Most of it is theatrics - the host is obviously trying to showcase how effective the fighting style is in its element rather than stack it up against any other fighting style (including his own). I think the most interesting episode was about the Alamo Rangers, which he called the spiritual predecessor to SF, especially because there are still former Alamo Rangers around to talk about their experiences in the jungles of the Philippines.
