Episode 1: Kalapalo Wrestling
Premieres Oct. 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
The competitors venture to the Brazilian jungle on a quest to wrestle with Kalapalo warriors at the Festival of Death, where wrestlers compete for their village's honor. First, however, they have to prove themselves worthy to compete — an ordeal that involves being scored with razor-sharp piranha teeth. Our athletes are trained to take part, but only a select few can secure a place on the village team.

Episode 2: Zulu Stick Fighting
Premieres Oct. 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
In South Africa, the six men live in the traditional village of Nqekwane and take on the Zulus in the deadly sport of stick fighting, an event where bloodshed and death are never far away. The athletes have to go through initiation ceremonies and take magic potions to find the skill and courage to fight at a Zulu royal wedding.

Episode 3: Tarahumara Endurance Race
Premieres Oct. 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
The competitors are put to the test, trekking high into the Copper Canyon region of northwest Mexico to run a marathon-length race against Tarahumara Indians, some of the greatest natural endurance runners in the world. And if running at high altitude weren't tough enough, they discover that to compete they also have to wear local sandals and learn to kick a small wooden ball over a snake-infested canyon course.

Episode 4: Sumi Kick Fighting
Premieres Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT
The competitors take on the Sumi, a tribe of former headhunters in Nagaland — a remote area of northeast India. Their goal is to become Akikiti fighters, a vicious martial art where the soles of the feet are the only weapons … and the only defense. The athletes prove themselves worthy adversaries for the locals in an intervillage competition.
