Season 1

Big Nog braves the bitter cold of Russia to find the roots of Samnozashchita Bez Oruzhiya - better known as SAMBO - a fighting art created a century ago by the Red Army.

Perhaps no other martial art is as ingrained into the mainstream culture of its country of origin as Muay Thai boxing. Minotauro flies to Bangkok to immerse himself in the rich culture of the eight-limbed fighting style.

Minotauro returns to Japan to immerse himself in the world of karateka - the practitioners of authentic karate - who can trace their art all the way back to 1372.
