Wouldn't it be cool if there was a show that stress test your local self-defense class? Is there currently any show about that? I wrote a short version of the idea.
The Premise goes something like this: Self-defense classes are often advertised as the key to personal safety and security, but how effective are they really? To answer this question, we've enlisted the help of a group of skilled Muay Thai students who will attend local self-defense classes and put them to the test.
Each episode will focus on a different self-defense class, with our team of Muay Thai students attending as undercover trainees. The self-defense students and teachers will be unaware of the true purpose of their attendance, believing that they are just regular students looking to improve their self-defense skills.
As the classes progress, our team of medium skilled Muay Thai students will begin to test the effectiveness of the techniques being taught, engaging in sparring and simulated attacks to see how well the students and instructors can defend themselves. Along the way, we'll get to know the self-defense students and teachers, learning about their backgrounds and motivations for pursuing self-defense training.
But the real question is, will the self-defense classes stand up to the stress test? Will their techniques be able to repel the attacks of medium-skilled Muay Thai practitioners? And what will happen when the self-defense students and teachers find out the true nature of the show?
Episodes:
"Krav Maga" - Our team attends a Krav Maga class, where they learn techniques designed for real-world self-defense scenarios. But will these techniques hold up under the pressure of a skilled Muay Thai attack?
"Women's Self-Defense" - This episode focuses on a self-defense class specifically designed for women. Our team will examine the unique challenges faced by women in self-defense situations, and see if the techniques taught in class can really provide effective protection.
Im putting this idea out there, hoping there already is a similar show for me to watch or that this idea would be stolen/borrowed by someone who works in that industry

No martial art or self defence is 100%. most good classes would advise to run at first opportunity in a street fight than advertise ways to always win or defend yourself without risk in a street fight. It wouldn’t really be much to accurately test given how unpredictable real violence is
Would be good to see some myth busters type stuff on wild claims some make on martial arts or self defence
