I really think just about everyone missed the point of this thread. I am a Christian Martial Artist.
That is all that was required for a reply to this post.

I'm also a Christian, orthodox, but religion and MA for me are two very different things. I go to karate like I go to school or to work. Love it and put into my schedule. I train hard, I read a lot, I love every minute of it, but that's all. It's not a second religion and I don't worship anyone. I respect those who are higher than me, because they are better, I respect thise who are lower, because they've chosen the same way, I try to become a real ARTIST, and pray I'll come to that point one day.
To train in the name of God ... Too exagerated for my tastes. I train for ME. And try to obey those commendmants

I am a christian who is also a martial artist. I don't believe I am endangering my faith by practicing karate though.
Karate promotes such qualities as humbleness and benevolence. That doesn't seem very satanic to me, and I think people who believe martial arts is the work of the devil are extremely misinformed. Grrr.  Some people!

i am a Christian and a MA i think it best to jest ignore things said by those who dont even practice MA and say its evil. though the MA school i attend isnt run by a church my sifu is a Christian. also my Bible teacher and one of my friends practices bushido kai and the school is sponsord by a church so i think some ppl are jest one sided.

I'm a Christian and the school that I attend is based out of a Baptist Church. The U.S. Christian Academy of Martial Arts always places God first and Martial Arts second. On our web site there is a page that better discribes our mission http://www.crossroadsnewnan.org/martialarts.asp
Click on the link "Our Ministry and Martial Arts."
