Sinanju (martial art)

Sinanju is a fictitious Korean martial art (the "Sun Source" of all martial arts) of the cult paperback book series The Destroyer, by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir.

Chiun comes from a long line of hired assassins called the House of Sinanju that has pursued its trade since before the time of the pharaohs.

(Chiun explains that Tutankhamun was killed by a Sinanju master after attempting to defraud the House by reneging on a contract.)

Early disciples of the art used weapons, but the later practitioners developed virtually superhuman abilities through the training as it became revised following the ascension of Master Wang, the greatest master of the art up until modern times.

Sinanju training enables one to hold one's breath for over an hour, rip steel doors from their hinges, climb walls, dodge bullets (even at point-blank range), overturn a moving tank, outrun a car, seem invisible, overcome multiple opponents, and bring a woman to the heights of sexual ecstasy.
