Interview with Jason Chambers,  host of "The Human Weapon"

 

 

KMA-Hey Jason, thanks for taking the time to do this interview. You must be a very busy guy, what are you doing now or what do you have
planned in the near future?


Jason- I am getting ready to go to Cambodia and Malaysia this Sunday to film the last 2 episodes of Season 1. With such a hectic shooting schedule It's hard to have time for anything else.
 

KMA-I have seen "The Human Weapon" and I have to say it has exceeded all of my expectations. I enjoy the back ground you give on the diverse cultures, the history of the fighting arts, and the respect you give to the martial arts masters. I am also impressed how you and your
co-host have a fight with experts in the arts you cover. How would
you describe your experience on the show?

 

Jason- Painful. (laughs) Actually it has been a great time, I mean honestly how could I complain? I get to travel around the world and get beat up by such a wide range of people. Aside form the shooting , which can be horrendous (sometimes 16 hours a day) , the show has been a journey thru the history and culture of these various arts.
 

 KMA-Out of all of your shows what was you most challenging episode?
 

Jason-Different episodes pose different challenges...from a physical
standpoint the Marines episode shoot was exceptionally challenging.
The stuff these guys do on a daily bases with all that gear is
amazing! I walked away from that with a whole new respect form our
Marines. The episode that I think stands out in my mind the most is
our pilot episode (Thailand) .,.. being the first episode we didn't have a firm grasp on what every episode needed as far as shoots,
content, training, etc. so we would shoot and shoot and shoot. That
episode took 13 days to film and the heat in Thailand was crazy. We
are talking 104 with 100 percent humidity. Makes for a long day.
 

KMA-I did some research and you have an impressive record in MMA. You have finished most of your fights and you have done so in a lot of
different ways. What is your martial arts experience?

 

Jason-I did Tae- Bo for many years...recently Billy Blanks made me a Grand Master so now I can defeat all.
 

Ok, not really. But I have an instructorship in Jeet Kune Do Concepts
from Joe Goytia and a Brown belt in BJJ under Eddie Bravo.
 

KMA-You are a very busy person, it must be hard to find time to train.  If you had time to train would you be interested in fighting MMA
again?
 

Jason-Hell yeah! Everyone in my acting life hates the idea - but its hard
to get away from the competition . The high you get when you win a
fight is unsurpassed.
 

KMA-I looked at your website and I see a lot of modeling pictures. Are
you ever afraid that your handsome mug might get rearranged?


Jason- Funny enough I was even uglier than this- I've been hit in the face so many times that I got luck enough to have it rearranged to look
better.

 KMA-Are you interested in doing movies or other ventures in the future
related to martial arts?

Jason-That's the idea. We are working getting me into Comedy /Action films... or things like the Marvel Comic book stuff that we see today.

KMA- I know you fought in Icon. How did you like Oahu. Have you been to
any of the other islands?


Jason-Hawaii is everything its cracked up to be. This Haole boy approves!

KMA-Hawaii has a long history in martial arts. Per capita not many places have as many martial artist as we do. Are you familiar with the
Hawaiian martial art Lua? Lua has some aspect of other martial arts
such as Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Aikido and Karate.

 

Jason-Cant say that I am ... I have heard of it but I am not that familiar.
That's what the show is for though- to help get me ...and everyone "in
the know!"

KMA-If you any say in the matter do you think having a Human Weapon
episode on Kauai with a Lua master would be a good show?


Jason- Dude- if I can come back to Hawaii...I'll do a show on eating
pineapples.

KMA-Where can we get more information on future "Human Weapon" shows?

Jason- www.myspace.com/JasonChambers or check out the history channels
website!

KMA-Any last message you would like to say to your fans in Hawaii and
around the world?


Jason-Thanks for watching and support your local MMA fighters!!!!
Except Mayhem Miller....he's just crazy and he has enough support.
