The style itself uses punches, kicks, throws, grappling, as well as knowledge of striking pressure points and vital points on the human body.

History of the channel

Due to the popularity of the genre with young adults and teens, and criticism of the violence shown in the programmes, the channel was renamed Mangas, on 1 September 1998 using the logo of the magazine D.MANGAS (the former Dorothée Magazine, although the show on TF1 had ended in 1997).
