is there a such a thing as "Satanic Martial Arts"?

Question

I read this within a reference to another question. I never heard of this before. Just Wondering. Thanks! :)

I didnt mean to imply Martial arts are satanic. I meant is there another "form" of martial arts, such as "Satanic Martial Arts."

Answer 1

personally, i think it's just an adjective the person used like, those crazy headbangers, doesn't mean ALL headbangers are literally crazy, you know? just my guess....

Answer 2

I think what this (misinformed) woman was referring to was the conclusion among many Christians that Eastern philosophies are actually Satanic in nature, because they amount to idolatry. These folks dislike yoga, tai chi, and the like. I will make no judgements one way or the other, because I have no knowledge upon which to base a conclusion.

However, I can draw a conclusion about martial arts. My dad was a 7th degree Black Belt in Tai Kwan Do; he is also an atheist and, as such, he avoids anything that is infused with deism, even in the least. If it passed my old man's test, I think we're safe! (And yes, he's none too pleased I'm a "fundie.")

Undoubtedly, this woman drew a conclusion without having true knowledge. This is the type of person that makes us Christians look bad.

Peace.

p.s. "Bambam" -- my ex is Japanese, decended from a Samurai line on his mother's side; he's also an expert in Ninjitsu. Yes, it's heavily influenced by Eastern religious philosophies and it's incredibly violent. Many would say it's satanic, so you make a good point. Ironically, he's also a professional sushi chef, so he gets to work with knives all day!

Answer 3

The term "grand grasp" is often reserved for the writer of a kind, and his direct decendents.. many times kin, first son case in point, or in the event that they don't have toddlers into the kind, then his optimum student. the challenge with the "grand grasp" equipment, is each and every now and additionally then you've an underqualified practitioner exchange into grandmaster via fact of his bloodline. This harms the martial paintings. those of you who understand i'm an Isshinryu practitioner, and understand the story of how Isshinryu fell from prominence in Okinawa understand what can ensue in those circumstances. in case you pick to alter right into a grand grasp, i might recommend commencing your guy or woman kind, getting fairly some followers. i might try gaining knowledge of a kind or 2 formerly you are attempting this nevertheless, or you will merely have yet yet another mediocre American kind Karate dojo.

Answer 4

Presumably the sentiment comes from a) a stunning ignorance of the martial arts, b) the rampant xenophobia of anything different particularly regarding things from other cultures. There is nothing satanic about the martial arts. It's how you use them that counts.

Answer 5

i feel perhaps to some , it would be seen as satanic
as the martial artist is using his chi.. energy etc .. so it would appear that he/she is using some unnatural force
and perhaps also because the origins of martial arts are linked to eastern religious practises

Answer 6

I thought martial arts was satanic, or pagan.

Answer 7

Many martial arts call upon a power outside of themselves and use chanting or meditation to gain their powers. and yes this is satanic.
