If your assailant uses his body as a weapon to harm you, your best defence is to take that weapon away from him by destroying it one limb, joint or vital organ at a time. This is your guide to doing exactly that. Sifu Noah Knapp details dozens of ways to disrupt the function and structural integrity of the human body as a means to escaping a deadly assault. Rather than relying on pain to stop an attacker, the kung fu destructions found in this book focus on disabling your assailant so he literally cannot continue assaulting you. You will learn destructions that work against the arms, legs, head, neck and core as well as key principles for applying these devastating skills. Sifu Knapp also explains the finer points of defensive movements (reaction and return strikes) and offensive movements (ripping, capturing and conquering) plus grappling and striking options that work against all areas of the body. This is a complete course in the powerful destruction attacks of this ancient martial art.

The children also claim to have seen something black strapped around both of Diane D’s ankles. Days later, a young man is very angry and upset about the murder of his father who was one of the police officers killed by Diane D’s other personality. He angrily plots revenge against Diane D as he creeps up the back stairwell of the organization with a gun. Suddenly Diane D appears out of nowhere and comes face to face with the man!

Dr. Stone tells Diane D’s family that the only way to try and get rid of her other personality again is for Diane D to be hypnotized again, but this time, Diane D will have to be locked inside a bolted room where she or her other personality can’t escape, just in case her other personality comes out to the surface and becomes dangerous and vicious and winds up killing again! Dr. Stone tells six young female nurse interns in the hospital hallway to go in the examining room and lift Diane D from the hospital bed to the examining table. The nurses tell Dr. Stone that they fear Diane D and do not want to deal with her. Dr. Stone demands the nurses to transfer Diane D anyway. Later, two of the nurses get injured by Diane D then flee the examining room! Later, the four remaining nurses secretly witness Diane D do something so strange inside the examining room. They scream in fear and flee out the examining room! Later on, Dr. Stone has Diane D under hypnosis as she lays face up on a psychiatrist couch with her eyes closed and hands and wrists chained to the sides of the psychiatrist couch. Dr. Stone then speaks to Diane D’s subconscious again. After a while, Diane D’s other personality comes out to the surface again! Dr. Stone speaks to Diane D’s other personality as her other personality speaks back to him. He then tells Diane D’s other personality to leave Diane D alone and not to bother Diane D’s soul, spirit or physical body anymore.

The other personality or evil, vicious entity becomes angry! It then threatens Dr. Stone! It starts to become violent and tries to break loose from the chains wrapped around Diane D’s hands and wrists! Dr. Stone yells at the other personality or evil, vicious entity and tells the other personality or evil, vicious entity that even if it succeeds in breaking loose from the chains, it won’t be able to break loose out of the room because the room and door are bolted shut and it can’t escape! The other personality or evil, vicious entity then calms a little. It stops trying to break loose from the chains wrapped around Diane D’s hands and wrists and agrees to leave from inside Diane D’s physical body. It then threatens to go after Dana’s physical body and enter into her physical body to do harm and cause chaos! Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and the rest of Diane D’s family become shocked and horrified hearing this! They suddenly see Diane D’s physical body become calm and stop moving as Diane D lays there motionless with her eyes still shut. Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and the rest of Diane D’s family become more shocked and horrified as the entity appears to have left Diane D’s physical body and realized that the entity is now probably on its way to enter into Dana’s physical body! They hurry to leave the hospital room as other family members stay to watch Diane D’s physical body. Dr. Stone, Margarita, Tomas and some of Diane D’s family quickly leave the hospital desperate to find Dana before it’s too late, fearing that the entity will use her physical body to kill and cause chaos just like it used Diane D’s physical body to kill and cause chaos!

The first part of this book Searching for Kung Fu recalls my own journey over decades in the search for both the most traditional Kung Fu practices and the philosophical teachings embedded within. It begins as a teenager studying Karate in America, learning from one of the great Okinawa masters Shihon Kenneth Funakoshi. Realizing that the root of Karate is actually Kung Fu, the journey brought me to China, to the legendary Shaolin Monastery seeking the source of Kung Fu. During these years I have had the opportunity and privilege to train under many of China’s great masters whose stories and philosophies are imparted in this book. I am sharing the story of my journey, as it is really the shared journey of every martial artist. The second part of this book The Gate of Nine Dragons reflects nine key Kung Fu principles presented through the traditional “Nine Dragon Sons.” These are nine Kung Fu concepts that can be understood as a code shared by and belonging to every school of martial arts. As a code this set of nine principles represent a set of integrated mind-set values that we can adopt in our daily lives: Perseverance, Loyalty, Balance, Change, Centering, Harmony, Flow, Emptiness, Non-violence. These nine Kung Fu principles can be understood as nine stages of training, nine aspects of Chinese philosophy, or nine values shared by martial artists offered here as a code.
