Remo Williams happens to have a knack for
fighting and, when needed, terminating with extreme prejudice.
Initially, he's a clumsy cop who moves like a baboon with two clubbed feet
but becomes a
martial arts master in the art of Sinanju, the supposed sun source of
all martial arts. The Destroyer series is a very funny, sarcastic twist
on reality, somewhat violent, but always with a light-hearted touch. This series of
140 books (yes! 140) is funny, exciting and encapsulates some of the
best ideas of Wing Chun training (use minimal energy, don't meet force
on force, proper breathing etc). Remo is a regular cop who gets pulled
into a secret organization and is taught by an eccentric martial arts
master. Master Chiun is a Korean cross between Yip Man & Yoda as he teaches
Remo to rise beyond use of physical force in combat and master himself.
The wonderful interplay between Sifu and student is the main appeal of
the whole series. A book without much Chiun in it is just a straight action
book and would be boring. There is also a movie called Remo
Williams that is based on the series. It is imperfect but captures the
essence of the philosophy and interplay of characters with excellent acting you can only
appreciate after you read the books.
