Watch as one martial arts master knocks out opponents with just his voice; see people who are possessed by spirits do things that are seemingly beyond the bounds of human endurance. Meet the toughest police forces in the world and be amazed by the mysterious power of Chi that allows men to bend steel with their eyes, walk on sharp blades and jump on broken glass. Throughout the series, Crudelli travels to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, China and the Philippines to meet up with real life ninjas and samurais, martial arts masters young and old and experts in combat who have turned their bodies into finely tuned tools.
