Take virtual tours of dojos and temples, learn about the history and philosophy of fighting, find out about the lives of the masters and examine in detail weapons and armour. Extraordinary features highlight seemingly unbelievable acts of martial-artistry such as the fabled "death touch", the mystical energies of chi, and how it's possible to touch red-hot metal – with your tongue.
