Do you like the first part of Fight Science?

Some people have continued to lay accusation that Fight Science has wrongly reinforced martial arts myths rather than dispelling them. For example the experiment to prove that katanas are the best sword due to their ability to both cut and thrust was rigged, as the katana was only measured against two other swords, both of which were dedicated to either cutting or thrusting.

Or when proving that the Muay Thai Knee strike was the most powerful kick (in spite of other styles having techniques that are exactly the same) the amount of power generated was not mentioned, but rather the show only went into detail of the injury caused, which it did for no other kick. (the amount force in a 35 mph crash is roughly 2200 lbs)
