I don't know but it probably has a lot to do with what the production insurances will allow versus what the hosts can and cannot handle. It's still just a TV show, after all.
What? I thought the T.V. producers send in clones of the hosts to do the actual fights.

On another note: the one martial art that would have been a great addition to the show IMO is to delve into the martial art form of Capoeira. It's incredibly interesting and unique in that it's not a linear style of fighting.

Just my two cents

Overall, though, the show is great! (no spoiler) The way the show goes into the history of the martial art form from a style meant for the battlefield to how it's used in modern day is very History/Discovery Channel like. Love it!
