Fight Science on the National Geographic channel

They have a bunch of different fighters from different types of martial arts/boxing etc. They have them hooked up to different computers, motion cameras, accelerometers to determine which is the most powerful. They are all taking turns beating on one of those human dummy's they use in auto crash tests.

So far...
A boxer has the hardest punch. 1000lbs of force to the head.
A Muay Tai knee to the chest is the equivilent of a 35 mph impact.

Funny....I was watching that spoets science show a few weeks back.
And when they tested who had the hardest punch......Rampage beat the competition.
