I like how they represent America
I love shows like this where they travel around the world, because learning about other cultures fascinates me. But there is also the plus that these guys are going overseas and representing the USA to good effect. Kinda like goodwill ambassadors of martial arts.
True, they are usually no match for the natives, who have been practicing this art for years, but I always think of Mr. Miyagi saying "Win, not win, no matter. Make good fight, earn respect."
