Martial Arts

Not sure if anyone has ever posted on this subject before...but...

How do you feel about Martial Arts? Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do etc. Is it o.k. in your opinion to participate or allow your children to participate?

Just wondering.....

Re: Martial Arts

I know some UPC churches have their own clubs.

I think its a great thing as long as they keep it Christian on the meditation etc.

Some wouldn't allow women to do it since they'd have to wear pants.

I don't know why not. Some allow them to wear pants to ski.

What is the point of Martial Arts but to inflict physical harm upon another person?

Re: Martial Arts

Martial Arts are like any other sport, howbeit there are some clubs that embrace the Eastern religion aspect when teaching it.
I have never seen it have a detrimental affect on anyone.
I know many that have participated until moving up to the upper levels.

Not necessarily true. Not all martial arts are offensive. Some are taught as defensive.

How did Christ teach us to defend ourselves?

oh please. :blah enough with the sacreligous babble.

Martial Arts can be a healthy way to instill dicipline. As the Mrs has pointed out there are some forms that are completly defensive in nature.
