Each episode usually consisted of a brief introduction regarding the featured martial art, including footage of established fighters sparring. The hosts would then travel to various locations, learning several strikes, blocks, or other techniques valuable to the particular art from various instructors and/or masters. Along the way, they learned about the origins and cultural history of each fighting style. To help the viewer understand the moves the hosts learn, each technique was visually broken down with a motion capture element.{{cite web|url=http://www.taekwondotimes.com/index.php?PAGE_ID=107 |title=Tae Kwon Do - Uniting the World through Martial Arts |publisher=Taekwondotimes.com |date=2009-11-03 |access-date=2012-03-17}} Creator Terry Bullman also acted as stuntman for motion capture. After practicing featured aspects of the art, the hosts typically assessed the various skills and their effectiveness. At the end of each episode, one of the hosts would fight a representative of the episode's fighting style.{{cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=3398095&page=1|title=The Many Styles of the 'Human Weapon|last=Ferran|first=Lee|date=July 20, 2007|work=ABC|access-date=2009-12-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307160654/https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=3398095&page=1|archive-date=March 7, 2016|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|title= A Crash Course in Martial Arts With Multicultural Footnotes|work= New York Times|date=July 20, 2007|url= https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/20/arts/television/20weap.html?scp=7&sq=muay%20thai&st=cse|access-date=2010-08-10 | first=Mike | last=Hale}}{{cite news|title= 'Human Weapon' is ready for a fight, and some travel|work= The Los Angeles Times|date=July 20, 2007|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-jul-20-et-weapon20-story.html|access-date=2010-09-20 | first=Tony | last=Perry}}
