Thank You Eric! God is using you in this area. We need good teachings because todays church lacks discernment and deliverance.

[@donatellotheturtle3419]

I had to stop at 11 minutes in. If you are going to practice martial arts and follow Christ it should be pretty simple, look for a "Karate is for defense only" school, not a "NO MERCY" one. I really wish people would stop grouping stuff together and talking about it like it all is of the same quality. Whether it is GMOs, vaccines, a color/race of people or martial arts, those labels may describe a few attributes, if we blanket others that don't always apply we appear as a fool.

[@fredpine696]

You can still find self-defense schools that are not based in Yin/Yang or any Religious affiliation if you attend a boxing/MMA like I do. I do not see it affecting my devotion to my Catholic faith. As far as ego - it is not bad if you feel good about yourself as long as you do not use it to belittle or bully others. I would not steer people away from self-defense because I think everyone needs to learn to defend themselves.What you said could be said about some people who get their Carry firearm permit.

[@ericspee4798]

Fred Pine the truth have no label because labels are a hindrance to the independent understanding of truth and produce hateful prejudices in people Buddhist Christian's all labels the definition matters not the label

Thank you very much Eric Wilson for your testimony. At the end of the day we live in a secular post-modern society who have no value for God or the scripture. Occult signs and symbols are found everywhere, but most people don't even acknowledge it. As bible believing Christians can we stay true to our beliefs while following the secular moral guidance which contradicts the bibles teachings? Paul said 'Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?' (2 Corinthians 6:14) I personally started practising Karate as a child, then Fujian Kung Fu, then kick boxing, then Capoeira. To be honest, I always felt that God was calling me away from martial arts, but I kept making excuses, because I always stayed away from the spiritual aspect of martial arts and I thought the physical side would be compatible with Christianity as long as I don't accept their beliefs. However the feeling against martial arts was so strong that I felt compelled to stop any association with martial arts all together. After a few years away from martial arts I sustained an injury in my leg, so I was encouraged by my physiotherapist to start doing yoga as part of my rehab and this led me to get back into martial arts through Tai chi chuan/Chi Kung. Everything was OK for a few weeks, then I experienced a strange waking dream while I was in the yoga class, which made the instructor very happy and she wanted to introduce me to breathing exercises. Soon after this there was a night when I was woken up and it felt like my injured leg was on fire, I prayed about it and the pain went away instantly. I told my doctor about the incident, but he had no clue what could have caused the burning pain. Despite this experience I kept practising Yoga and Tai chi, but my injury kept getting worst, so after a few more incidences I put two and two together and I decided to stop. That very same night I had a dream in which God revealed to me that the true energy behind Hinduism, Buddhism and all "works based" religions is Satan. I needed to know more and I did hours of research and I came to the same conclusion as you about the occult nature behind the movements and symbols, that are found in martial arts and popular culture. The system of movements in yoga and martial arts were made with spiritual intent, so doing the movements (like the sun salutation) still holds the same meaning even if we do it just for exercise. After learning this I soon experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in my life and I felt the presence you spoke about in your video. At first I couldn't even speak, but eventually I called out to Jesus Christ to release me from what was trying to take control of my body and the Almighty Living God answered my prayers. I realised that God literally saved me and there really is power in the name of our Lord, so I started looking into spiritual warfare. I realised that through martial arts and yoga I had opened doors and allowed entities to attack me, but through the grace of God I was able to see the truth. I repented for my sins and I have thrown away anything that distracts me from God. Please keep fighting the good fight Eric, even if the world doesn't want to hear it.

I don’t know if anyone is still watching this video 10 years later, but I have a testimony as well. I grew up practicing Chito-Ryu Karate from 7 years old till I was 12. I loved it. I felt so powerful when I would do demonstrations with weapons, and I was shy but I would take on an intense, aggressive attitude when I would perform. Being a black belt always gave me a sense of pride, and people didn’t want to mess with me because they knew I was skilled. I took a year break, and I started Taekwondo when I was 13. Again, I enjoyed it, and I got my second black belt. Everyone was proud of my achievements, but for some reason I felt off. Throughout these years, I believed in God, but I had no relationship with him. It always felt like a force field was keeping me away from pursuing him deeper so I never did really. He had his hand on me the whole time though, as I also felt this desire to get out of it and do other things, but I stayed because it was comfortable for me. I even started working at this school, from 2016 all the way up to March of this year. Once I got to my 20’s, I decided to actually pursue the Lord because I was hitting a rock bottom in depression, physical symptoms, etc., but it was still unusually difficult. After I would try to read the Bible and pray intimately, I would feel like crap and get strangely strong desires to do worldly things. This was a cycle that happened over and over again. Through deep communion with the Holy Spirit and learning about deliverance, I realized that my symptoms were getting worse and worse at my job. After that I was able to expose the Spirit that was causing my issues, and I quit my job and got rid of my Martial Arts stuff. It is crazy now I feel the symptoms going away as I talk about it openly with people. Thank you Jesus!❤

To anybody who wants to shun the martial arts, that's your way it is not the Christian way.

[@elijahdikaniakina4947]

I remember listening to your testimony in 2014 on the day just before my karate class. I've had so much concerns and questions concerning this issue on martial arts. I wonder why Jesus would tell his disciples to carry swords and king David who was a warrior as well as guys like Joshua who was also a fighter yet it is considered that a Christian should not practice martial arts. So how about the soldiers in the army who are taught martial arts amongst whom there are Christians, are they sinning against God by doing this service? Secondly, it's a man's sacred duty to be a protector, sometimes not every time, force or rather self defense may be necessarily be applied, why would one not practice self defense in such a context? My genuine concerns.

[@ritasavelyev1222]

One of the Q&A from John Macarthur said, sports are good but not to idolize so much. MMA? He said is destroying God creation of image of a man and woman. Harming people lives for pride and glory is not honor Him. Its anger, pride and harm. There's more he said but since that's what I remember. I left Taekwondo bc its bowing to the image of man and its expensive. Korean love respect, but not kind this way. I didn't know the martial arts are dangerous for Holy spirit and can lose faith in Him. When I listen to Mr Macarthur. Now, that explains why police shouldn't beat up suspect face, bc then the suspect wouldn't talk if severe. Damage jaw or brain. Now to be honest, I'm training BJJ that doesn't have bowing to image of a man or old man. But I'm careful not to be obsessed of bjj, but to be sure have for my nephew with severe Autism to be calm and protect children and teens. Pray for ya bro. God loves you

I believe we are supposed to ask God - not the angels. God can send angels to help us. But we aren't to pray to angels. You are welcome to correct me with a scripture. I used to think I could talk to angels. But learned we aren't. (Can't remember the verse.) Besides, how do we know which angels are answering us.... the fallen ones? or the ones in heaven? Please be careful!!!

After watching this video I can't help but wonder If maybe it was a dark entity that merely wanted to feed on your chi. However I respect you and your intelligence; do you think I should quit? Please understand Eric, that for me...This way of life, is the first thing that has ever made sense. I never felt spiritual energy with Christ, but I do feel it in the underground of Secret Martial Arts.

EricWilson7 Well sir I have over 35 years in the chinese martial & in that time i have heard many incorrect statements, much misinformation & things that are just outright wrong & you seemed to restate & hit everyone of them. I have to even question if you did study real Authentic chinese Gung Fu after listening to your talk.Seems to me you fell victim to ego based power hungry Cultist & never once learned from a real Gung fu Sifu.Now besides all of that can you tell me where in the Good book does it say that the study of Personal protection/self defenes is not allowed? is it wrong for a man to be able to protect his loved ones? if so where does it say so? Would be thankful if you have any info on that.

[@Shortychi6]

The question you asks has got to be a joke though you say its serious. I grew up in Church, have been saved since I was very young, and also grew up in many different stlyes of martial arts (21 years not including U.S.M.C). None in these days have met Jesus. so why would you ask me that? I also know plenty of history and the beginnings of martial arts which pre-date india which you spoke of. Your books are cool but you never answered my question. An untruth in a nice way is an untruth which is practice by many 501c3 churches nowadays. You assumed I was unsaved but I am. Ive also met a few sifus that struggle with this battle of not knowing becaise of strategic conditioning. Do what helps you in your walk with christ, I just felt you were mis informed. Good day!

[@2fast2block]

Having been one that has looked at the spiritual sides for many years, it was refreshing having you give your side of it about martial arts. I'm still for knowing how to defend and at the same time knowing that there are only two powers to tap into. Again, thanks for sharing.

[@BaldingEagle51]

Yes, Martial Arts are for the ones who want to dodge and counter-punch, not for the ones who want to turn the other cheek. Jokes aside, a few of the students at my dojo are Christians. They seem to handle worship and exercise fine. And I'm sure they in a real-world situation dodge and counter-punch rather than turn the other cheek, and protect themselves and loved ones. I still don't see any problem with that.

[@tonycruise]

before i was christian a man once tried to munch me at a bar i blocked with my left hand how i learned in tae kwon do/kick boxing. he lost his balance and the stumbled, the cops arrested him and beat him up for fighting back and he ended up in the hospital....i followed the ambulance and made sure he was okay. i didnt fight back but maybe the best thing to do is not even to block but to take the whole hit.

This is really just absurd. As you said, you were looking for power before you ever started training. You're ashamed of your past, and are using martial arts as a scapegoat to prove to yourself that the problem isn't in within you. Also, you mention that martial arts school intentionally look for younger people since they're impressionable at that age. This is absolutely asinine since that is exactly what religion does to get its claws into a person The number of logical falicies you make in this video literally makes me nauseous.

[@EricWilson7]

One thing that you are correct about. Both martial arts and Christianity are religious. The only question is . . . which one is the Truth, and which is merely a counterfeit? And what is at the end of that "path" if a person chooses the eastern spiritual practices? Do they reveal the One and Only Creator of heaven and earth? Do they share the love of Almighty God (Jehovah, Yehuwah Elohim) for you personally? or do the spirits which work through these arts blind men's eyes so that they may not see the Truth ? I am including a link below which reveals in greater detail the Truth behind these arts.

Eric, your testimony is my testimony, and your story is exactly the path I have taken but I have been miserable since I have quit the martial arts and now after 12 long years away I am going back to the martial arts to now train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muy Thia( I originally trianed in Karate). Nothing has given me focus, work ethic, determination as well as mental and physical health as the martial arts have and I have suffered greatly for leaving them behind. It felt great to take my "Karate Armour" off at first but it lead to misery and frustration as time went one. I started to abuse alcohol, tabacco, fast food, junk food, and pornography without the self control that I once had as a martial artist. I started going back 3 weeks ago and I'm already feeling stronger and minimizing a few of my vices. I loved the martial arts, I found Jesus and quit the martial arts, and now I have to go back to the martial arts lifestyle.

Good morning Wesley, One most important thing, that many often do not realize . . . . it is not simply leaving and "coming out of the martial arts," but the martial arts must be taken out of us. There are evil spirits (fallen angels) that gain access to a person's life, when they continue training in these eastern art forms. And these spirits must be cast out by faith in the mighty name, and the shed blood of our Lord (Sovereign King) and Saviour Jesus Christ !

Get you and/or family to safety, care for the attacker if you are able, and carry on about the day. Don't know what the big deal is. It's the eastern mysticism that is wrong.

But he did say that without darkness there is no light in the bible it say something about u have to accept that satan is real, now I didnt say worship but if evil didn't exist than we wouldn't know what good is, it would be more like Jesus is the way and that's it, what they teach is true but I'm sure some of them do hide things, God should tell u something ain't right as he said so he should have just found another I'm not disagreeing with u its just meditation in good but u have to know what's right it becomes occult when when u use ur soul as evil for example killing someone with a iron fist on purpose u just have to let God tell u if there something wrong he will tell u u just have to believe

[@theuniversallion]

And it's not saying that there has to be the devil to have God it's just saying we wouldn't know that God had good intentions because we didnt know bad existed it was just God was our creator we must do what he said he gave us a gift

[@preppingandpolitics6922]

Thanks. Do you recommend any alternatives? My son is special meeds and did really well with martial arts. I ended up removing him due to convictions from the Holy Spirit. My son agreed. What’s interesting is my son recognized that martial arts did not align with his faith in the first class at age 7. When he was told to bow he said “I will only bow to the one true God” we giggled at him. And im not proud but his instructor and I talked him into bowing saying it was just a sign of respect. My son accepted this. Around a year later, after feeling some convictions I decided to look up what the phrase meant that they were stating every time they entered or exited doors and sometimes while bowing. You’re right, it was definitely drawing an energy, power that was not the Holy Spirit. At that point I reminded my son of his righteous stance day one. I apologized and commended him and explained what I learned. He agreed to stop going but we’ve never found an athletic alternative. He’s unable and uninterested in the other sports. Plus because he’s a bit different I would like him to know self defence. I started looking up Christian martial arts. There are none in my area from what I can see. But this search led me to your video which seems to again be confirming that even that is a no. His previous master was Christian too.

Praise the LORD for the miracle He has done and is yet to do in you and your son's lives ! Here are the links to a couple of other more updated videos that our Saviour has given for us to share online. It is our sincere prayer that each of these will also be a great blessing to you and your dear son ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXTKamavhMZ4sKM - *The Dragon Revealed ! part.1* kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaiolKKvh5lripY - *Part.2* kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnaxkJ2jZ8uCiKM - *Not Against Flesh & Blood !* (Stephanie Griffin Interview) Since our Lord and Saviour delivered and set me free 17 years ago, I have not practiced any form of martial arts even for a day. Each day I simply jog, walk, exercise with kettle bells and an abdominal wheel, and I spend every moment that I can with our Father and Saviour in heaven, reading and listening to His promises and His Word ! If there is not an interest in other sports . . . Then I would strongly encourage you and your son to seek the LORD personally, asking that He will guide your feet in His will for your son's life. I believe that the LORD may have a call on your son's life. And what a far greater honor to be called of God, than to be caught up in the distractions of this world. Even at his young age, he can be a powerful witness to the love and power of our Redeemer ! Please send me an email, and I will be glad to share with you a few of the articles on faith and victory and the power of our Almighty God, that have been the greatest inspiration and help in my life !

the circle with a dot does not mean the yin yang, in really old chinese, it sort of resembles the word sun, or day, but in chinese its a circle with a horizontal line in the middle, and yields no religious or philosophical significance whatsoever. in egyptian mythology, the circle with dot symbolize the sun, or ra, the sun god. in alchemy it symbolize gold and the sun. in astronomy it also symbolize the sun. in many cases it is used to symbolize the sun, but only the sun god in egyptian

WATCHING THIS VIDEO MAKES ME WANT TO DO MARTIAL ARTS EVEN MORE....

[@sshonourloyalty]

Really good example of what a bad martial Arts school does can't see the relation between martial Arts and religion and to even imply that martial Arts is evil is just making up stuff for a good story. I'm a judo player of 46 years and I've never heard such silliness in my life.

[@trollarchstaff1]

I'm a catholic, and I have been training in the martial arts for 12 years. I can safely say that the martial arts is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have trained in TaeKwonDo, Kickboxing, san da and BJJ. All martial art systems I have studied have always taught me to show respect, and treat others well. To respect and treat others well is the fundamental Judaeo-Christian message. If anything martial arts has made me a better Christian. The problems with martial arts is that some schools do teach religious type attitude towards certain masters and instructors. However this is becoming more and more rare, especially in the western world. In my old taekwondo organisation (TAGB) we had several masters, all of them were the most down to earth and the nicest men possible. Martial arts can be practical, they can help someone protect themselves if they are unfortunate enough to be attacked on the streets. Or they can be fun, in the form of competition. I understand that there are still schools that exist and are very dodgy. If anyone is concerned about starting the martial arts i recommend trying all schools in your local area, and train at the school you enjoy the most. With an open and objective mind you should be able to easily find a safe school for you/ your children. The gentleman in this video appears to have been unfortunate enough to train in these shady forms of martial arts. "Chi energy" does not exist. Schools that claim to have magic type abilities should be avoided at all cost, they are environments of mass hysteria. You cannot use "chi energy" to push someone or to block attacks. It simply does not exist. Indoctrination and brainwashing students to believe they have magic powers are common in these kinds of martial arts. Sometimes seducing seemingly intelligent people. However, the modern martial art world has woken up to this, and this from of useless chi/magic trash martial arts is thankfully dying. In closing, martial arts is not a "sin" or "unchristian" or whatever you may like to call it. It is simply a method in which a person can defend themselves. It is an art form that encourages respect, and that the user never abuses the skills they learn in the school. Respect, courtesy, love and protecting yourself and others. There is nothing more christian then that.

[@Mr-Tibbster]

+Dominic Havercroft Yeah, ancient masters and developers of Chinese Martial Arts actually never taught such mystical things about Qi (Chi) and in Japanese "Ki", in fact the more accurate translation of “Qi” is “energy in relationships”, so to “cultivate your Qi” is simply to understand the relationships in your body, changing how your body structure works over a long period of practice resulting in bodily changes, chemicals and blood flow. “Qigong” in a nutshell is the study of relationships in the body and mind on a “physiological and neurological” level. Though interestingly, historical studies shows that it does have links to shamanism. It's a lot to do with intent too. If one starts treating these things as if they were magic, they then "become" magic, through misunderstanding and can lead to mental illnesses, in Chinese we call this "Qigong sickness", which as you can imagine, if you make something out to be magic, and start treating it like magic, you essentially become a magic practitioner through your "intent and attitude" to it, and through that, you then attract demonic and satanic spirits, as they will become attracted to you, because you have started to "willingly practice magic", as that's how "you" (the practitioner) is viewing it, and that's where the trouble starts. Some schools do shady things as you say in these areas and do weird and un-natural practises, and this man in the video has unfortunately been victim to those types of people, starting with the misunderstanding of the mistranslation of qi as so many do, which then leads them to seeking out more as it becomes an addiction to "power", which leads to the "real" dark paths and shady martial arts schools that are actually based off of spiritism. Now there certainly "are" magical traditions and forms of spiritism in traditional asian martial arts, stuff to do with the emptying of the mind, shamanism, possession, gods, symbolism and so on. It's knowing what to look out for.

[@ichthus1890]

I'm a Catholic, and I've never been in martial arts but I believe this man because of the consistency of his message.

[@trollarchstaff1]

There's nothing consistent about his message, he refuses to acknowledge any benefits of training in the martial arts. The entire video is him saying, "martial art symbolism is not Christian, therefore it is evil" or "martial art abilities give me magic powers (delusions), therefore it is evil." I hate this aspect of Christianity where some Christians are so closed minded to cultures and symbolism which is foreign to their beliefs. Instead, we should embrace these cultures/symbolism and incorporate them into our beliefs. You will find they are very compatible.

[@EricWilson7]

Dear brother, It maters not, the "benefits" obtained from practicing these arts . . . . if they cost a man eternal Life ? That is a very high price to pay for a short moments pleasure. Salvation is not simply God saving us from hell . . . The Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth for a much greater purpose than merely that . . . . He came and "took upon Himself fallen human flesh, in order that through His faith, He might conquer all sin in the flesh; and thereby "condemn sin in the flesh." "So that the righteousness of the law of God, that is the law of Deity (the Divine nature) might be filled full in us, Who now walk by His indwelling Spirit, and not after the weak efforts of our flesh . . . !" ref: Romans 8:1-19 "For all of creation (the entire Uni-verse) is waiting for the manifestation of the sons (children begotten) of God !" Romans 8:19 And our Saviour (yours and mine) is saying to us Today . . . . "Why call ye Me Lord (Master, King), Lord, and yet refuse ye to DO those things which I say ?" "depart from Me, ye that continue to work iniquity . . . !" Luke 6:46 and 13:27 And Jesus says, "In vain do they worship Me . . . teaching as doctrine the commandments of men !" Matthew 15:9 The LORD God Almighty loves you and I with a love which passes all understanding, and it is for this reason that He sent His Only-Begotten Son into this dark world . . . to SAVE* (rescue, deliver, heal, restore) and to set us free from that which will eventually destroy every one who is not found in Christ Jesus. For this is the record . . . "that God hath given unto us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son !" and Jesus assures each of us, that "if ye abide in Me (the Word of God), and My Words which are Spirit and they are Life, abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done for you !" I John 5:10-12 and John 15:1-7 and John 6:63 May our LORD and Saviour bless and keep you, may He lead and guide you, and may He reveal to you as never before His high calling upon your life in Christ Jesus ! your friend and brother, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries

[@trollarchstaff1]

Dear Eric Wilson, Throwing quotes from the Bible at me does not refute any of my arguments. As a fellow Christian, how can you tell me that an activity that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt has made me a better Christian is wrong? Nowhere, in your video or any of your responses have you refuted this point. As there is no rebuttal I can only assume you are wrong. I'll end this point with a quote from the Bible. "Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle." Psalms 144:1 I would love to debate this topic with you, as I believe I can open your eyes up to the beauty of Martial Arts and it's compatibility with the Judeo-Christian message. Fellow Christian and Martial Arts practitioner, Dominic Havercroft

[@Jericho11894]

I'm a Christian...........and this is pure utter nonsense, on the martial side of course. Whatever you say that is correct about the oriental religions.....I don't care. I don't worship their spiritual whatever crap. I am more interested in their "body mechanics," which has nothing to do with spirituality unless you literally put a meaning unto it from your beliefs. If you want to condemn people in the martial arts, then condemn King David, Samson, and whoever else that practiced warfare in the bible.

There is nothing wrong with practicing Martial Arts as long as you know who your master is.

This video is very misleading. It portrays martial arts in general in a bad light. Current martial arts covers such a wide array styles & disciplines, and each martial arts school has different goals and aims. Today, the majority of western MA schools train either no contact, or minimal contact, but like all aspects of society you have good and bad people involved within the martial arts. If you want to train for fitness then there's a lot of schools that will concentrate on this. If you want a reality-based self-defence system then there are countless classes for these. And finally, the sporting aspect. Like sports in general, martial arts has a competitive side. A student will get out of their style what they put in. I think all of this connecting all martial arts to religions is nonsense. The Yin-Yang symbol is used as an analogy; good/bad, strong/weak, hard/soft, fast/slow, big circle/small circle, etc. You can use opposites (yin-yang) for a lot of martial arts situations. For the length of time that the author has spent doing martial arts, i truly believe that he has totally misrepresented martial arts. Whether he has been attending 'bad' schools, or what, he has painted an incorrect picture of MA, in my eyes. 20+ years myself in martial arts and i have only had positive experiences, and i am also proud to be an instructor myself.

Sorry for being rude but this is what's called 'blind following. Do your own research. Kickboxing, for example, is a pure sport, yet it is deemed a martial art. Pankraition wrestling is the same, which is a Greek creation of self-defence/sport. Please don't just blindly follow. Lots of martial arts have lengthy histories and traditions, and lots (freestyle) don't.

Once i got intreduced to an internal style caled miqong with an ying and yang shape, and god said in a voice ,,now this is satanic" i do agree that the religous aspects are dangerous and displeasing, but the form and art are not that dangerous. eaven if physical martial arts is spiritualy dangerous, kung fu would be one of the least physikal spiritual dangerous in the form tha. in an okinava or japanese martial arts. mostly bicuse many christians quit. the japanese martial arts but in the kung fu perspective, we get more interested in the art than on piwer or revenge. the lord told me also to practice it with love. i woud try to talk with the lord about my opinion.

I have watch 2 or 3 of your videos. And after I saw the whole thing was I going to let go of martial arts completely. I have been doing martials arts for over 20 years never got to where you got in it. I love martial arts but I didn't want it to come between me and God. I would go as far to say that I was a martial artist before I was black. So for a whole day I went through heart break because of this. I called my minister friend and I told him what was going on because I trained him in it. And as we where talking, in mid sentence a thought pop up in my mind and that thought was what did he do wrong. what I found out was interesting. what I found out was that you tried to made martial arts take the place of God. A person can do martial arts and still be a christian. Before I watch your video I looked at martial arts as a gift from God to help me through some ruff times in life. I looked at the movements from a scientific standpoint. To the people I loved I taught. and we have a great time. My teachers where my father figures when I had no father and martial arts is one of the things I stuck with that taught a lot of good things. I don't think martial art is this evil thing as long as you don't take it there. otherwise you can take anything there. My believe is that when you make anything more important than how you love people than it is wrong because God is love. In all your videos I watch, you said you made martial arts more important than your family. But for me I believe God can get gory though martial arts. but this is something I may like to discuss with you not to attack you but to get clarity.

This is easily one of the most warped views of the marital arts that I have ever seen or heard. Sadly this poor understanding of marital arts practice is being presented to guide others (spiritually). When all it actually does is misguide. It appears that Mr. Wilson chose to study the martial arts for the wrong reason in the first place. Maybe some mental health therapy would have better served Mr. Wilson to deal with the absence of his father. This could have been via religious clergy, parent (Mother) or a traditional agency. If Mr. Wilson was so misguided, for so long, throughout his early adult years, this suggests some cognitive limitations. Definitely one who should not be attempting to lead or guide others via martial arts or anything else. However, it is good he now rejects these (martial arts) practices (he seemingly never understood well in the first place), because his message is not as readily available to misguide others....except for those in his church, and other churches. But hell, being misguided by a religious practice is nothing new in history.

I am at 39:43 and so far this is a very eye opening discussion which I am hopeful will help someone I know to realize the dangers of the Martial Arts.. But when you say that you can see the difference between which spirit is at work.. you sound like either satan or a demon possesses you or God possesses you. God does not "possess" us, He indwells us by joining our spirit to His. It isn't the same thing. Also, God indwells us by our repenting of sin and turning our lives over to Him. It is not at all like "possession"

Drugs damaged my brain for life.Raised in a poor and fatherless environnement, I tell you with no hesitation that I would prefer get the same disease doing a sport and trying to live healthy life, brave, accepting risks but with respect value and peace wishes.I m 33.I don't know what the future is to me, regarding my brain condition, but doing martial arts it is what helps me to stay away from depression and suicide wishes.I feel really happy, even I have no money, no wife...now Im drug free and respected! Im well known to be very smart, polite and devoted to people, fighting to make a better world and put the devil far away!! And I still can't understand what is the problem with martial arts...If your a real martial artist, you never beat anyone outside the rules.And inside the rules, we are all volontaries...If I could go back, and get the same disease, I would get it in martial arts competitions, podiums, helping the kids aside...but nope, I got it injecting devil in my veins!check this out!

This man is nuttier than an outhouse rat. I have spent a life in Olympic Taekwondo beginning in 1975 and after 25 years made it to 5th degree black belt. While it's possible that any individual person in martial arts could be "Satanic," there is absolutely nothing intrinsically "evil" about training. It's good for your mental and physical health. End of story.

it is a satanic concept, that you need to fight others. like you have a inferior complex.

Mastership is a very daunting task into the field of martial - arts. Once you teach it, "it's existance does live within that master as a relationship, as well as responsibility. Once you have taken that responsibility, it is, then, yours! It is not wrong to succeed, so as long as you endure to your goal of tasking. Aikido teaches that, "at best", but, it is the "emphasis of your effort" in which you believe it to be Martial Arts (m.a.) does teach; practice of different sorts to be an expert as you grow with you responsibilities 'in' truth. "I am a teacher and student". If you have ever listened to Bruce Lee as a teacher, he always emphasized philosophy of truth as he made different films, discussing "change" with each reporter that interviewed him. He even has distinctively talked about "aikido". It is within this art that you define yourself as to journey just like Kun Fu, which is collective of the chinese arts (not just chinese boxing)!

[@adrianjagmag]

You basically joined a cult. My late father was a lay pastor and a martial artist. I learnt much from him, including discernment. I am sorry you weren't taught that. You can learn how to fight. You do not have to become a psycho. There is much that is good in the martial arts. Just as there is much that is good in dancing, music etc., how far you take it and where you draw energy from varies significantly. My father prayed for many people's healing, and at the end the rebound of hate and evil that affected the people he prayed for started to affect him, I don't really care if you believe me or not btw, but it led to his eventual demise. (Curses are still a huge part of Hindu/Indian culture, and they are skilfully applied to people to destroy them) I pray every day for the gifts physical, mental, spiritual, that our Lord and saviour has bestowed or will bestow on me. The energy that flows through us is also a gift from him, you can allow that energy to be contaminated or you can use the meditation to be at peace with yourself, commune with God, again it's your choice. My only point is that it isn't the martial arts that are at fault. It draws on eastern mysticism in many cases but not all cases, you basically fell off the deep end. I have met good fighters that definitely have been touched by Our Lord Jesus, and I have met their complete opposites, which is the company you fell into. The Lord has guided me every second of my life, literally prodded me into the right direction. God be with you.

Thus saith the LORD . . . . "Learn not the ways of the heathen" . . . "when thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God (lohim - Mighty One) giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations . . . There shall not be found among you . . . one that useth divination, or an observer of times* (astrology), or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer (hypnotist), or . . . a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer . . . . For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee . . . !" Jeremiah 10:1-2 and Deuteronomy 18:9-14 and Ezekiel 20:7-8 and II Chronicles 28:1-3 and 33:2 "For ye are the temple of the Living God . . . and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols ? As God hath said . . . I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God (Mighty One), and they shall be My people. Wherefore, come out from among them (Revelation 18:1-4), and be separate . . . Be ye holy, for I Am Holy ! . . . saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters (begotten by the Word of Truth - I Peter 1:22-25 and James 1:18-20), saith the LORD Almighty.; Having therefore these promises (II Peter 1:4), dearly beloved . . . . Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (mind), yea, perfecting holiness in the fear of God . . . without which no man shall see the LORD !"

[@adrianjagmag]

You're right, all of what you stated are abominations, doesn't mean they aren't present, praying for people to the Lord Jesus for healing is perfectly acceptable last I checked. My late father prayed to the Lord, the rebound is terrible when praying for someone attacked by demons, because it hits the person who prays (the idea of weakest link) ...India has millennia old traditions of tantricism. Now coming to the martial arts, have you heard of Savate? Boxing? Fencing (historical)? Last I checked these weren't the arts of the heathen. Fencing has a point and circle symbol, and that means the only two types of attack and defense are straight and curved. And btw weren't Saul, David trained in combat? Or did they sin? Does a soldier sin in learning how to fight and defend himself? Nowhere in Savate, Kyokushin, Aiki jujitsu, Wing Chun has anyone told me to become any animal. Even the harnessing of chi was explained biomechanically via kinetic linkage. I feel you're tarring the martial arts with a single one size fits all brush because of your horrible experiences. I'm not saying that there aren't people who try to harness everything from animal spirits to ancestral protection from long dead relatives, there are. You are right about the dangers. And whenever I think of the martial arts I think of Psalm 144.

It is often the case that we put up defenses when we feel that something in our lives is threatened or being attacked, especially our life style, or beliefs. But a question which is worth considering is - Is a father or mother who truly loves their 3 year old child, wrong or overbearing, in telling the child not to play with electrical plug in on the wall ? When we look at this, in light of God's Word, why do we think that the LORD is being mean, or controlling, when He warns us of what is....

Eric, you mentioned that the Star of David only appeared in Judaism 150 years ago. I was recently watching a video where some Jewish Scholars didn't even understand where the Star of David came from. The Jewish Scholars knew everything there is to know about Christianity , but didn't know where their own Star of David came from . If you go to Acts 7:42-43; Amos 5:26-27, it talks about the star of remphan and how Israel was worshiping moloch. Then if you do a search, what does the star of Remphan look like you will find that it looks exactly like the Star of David.

I've shared this and will continue sharing it. Coming from the mouth of a former insider; participant... holds more weight than any bystander. I too was once impressed with the martial arts, and felt it would be a great tool for children to teach discipline and self defense... but thankful The Most High gave me discernment; which is why I began researching the esoteric meanings behind these things.

Dear John, I encourage you to take time to read the article which I have included in the link below. There is much to consider prayerfully. What the LORD had me do, was to compare everything which I saw practiced in the arts in which I had trained over those years, with the Word of God. For in the end, that is what really matters, and that is what each of us must ask . . . Did I do my will, or the LORD's Will ? If you follow the Bible, you cannot go wrong ! Sincerely, Eric Wilson

I think this is a terrible misunderstanding or misrepresentation of information. Qi/chi is the Chinese word for spirit, or life force. It is neither good or bad in nature it is simply apart of an unseen aspect of life given to us by our Heavenly Father. You can strengthen it with good or bad intentions depending what's in your heart, but qi/chi/energy in and of it's self is not evil. To suggest so is contrary to scripture and logic.

I think that where scripture is not authoritative on an issue. It is up to the conscience of the individual to determine whether or not they should or shouldn't do it. Similar to what Paul said about meat sacrificed to idols.

[@ChinWah77]

Good Sir, from listening to your testimony, it completely seems that you are disillusioned about Gung fu, especially the subject of chi (hei). contrary to popular mystical beliefs, there IS NO magic. chi is nothing more than natural electrical currents in the body. the "magical" or "occult power" you describe here comes from nothing more than body alignment, leverage, angles and rooting. this alignment may promote the flow of "chi", but thats all. it would seem that when you were a student, teachers in america made their students believe in this "mystical power" nonsense to make money. I also feel I should add that Chinese martial arts are not for killing, bullying, fighting etc, as many believe. Training to fight means understanding fighting. Understanding fighting means not having to fight.Furthermore, In the event your family is to be harmed, would Jesus wish one to allow it simply to prove a point??
