I use this as a motivational tool for mind over matter and have viewed it endless times. There is something very empowering in this, plus as a documentary it's interesting to see the difference in flexibility, ability and dedication from the shaolin monks to Jason whom we know as a well trained martial artist

Whilst this was a OK program there were two things that really reduced the score firstly it was the extremely poor voice overs at least get a somebody from the region and get them to do the voiceovers so that it sounds somewhat realistic and not like a cheap copy of a old Chinese fighting movie. Secondly and most importantly this was not done as a drama or comedy it was presented as a documentary showcasing the shaolin skills so when it came to the part where they was going to hit him with poles I thought it strange he could have learnt their hidden skills so quick. Enter a couple of cut scenes and it all makes sense. Why teach someone to channel their che when you can cut a notch out of a pole and then hit their arm with it. when I looked at the back hit the pole started to bend before it even hit him. When they hit themselves the poles are not cut but to include tricks at the end is really poor. If he wasn't able to do it they should have just said he wasn't ready
