tkdkarategirl Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Ki (Chi) is an internal energy everyone has...I don't want to go into it here, though, because I don't want to start any religion/martial arts debates in here...We don't plan on incorporating on "ki", since it's mostly a chinese and japenese thought. (My husband did teach Tai Chi for quite a while, though, and managed to do so and still believe in God...) As far as budo, we're teaching mostly taekwondo, and only incorporating akido as a self defense and training aid, and kendo will only be taught to our higher ranking students who choose to participate in a weapons program (when we'll have more one on one time to explain exactly what our thoughts on such things are), so we won't be incorporating it into our overall curriculum...but regardless, it means (as far as I understand) the way of the warrior, finding your way through the struggle...I think we all do that on a daily basis... https://www.karatebarn.com"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..."

foreveryoung001 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 so we won't be incorporating it into our overall curriculum...but regardless, it means (as far as I understand) the way of the warrior, finding your way through the struggle...I think we all do that on a daily basis... I don't In fact, if I wasn't typing this message right now, Iwould be hiding under the covers, sucking my thumb, and most likely whimpering over the fact that I'm late for work.... gotta go!

Shane Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hey I think you have a wonderful Idea. I've heard of another group that teaches Jujitsu at their church and as part of the belt ranking system they have to memorize different parts of the bible and also have a understanding of what they are memorizing. I liked that part of it because they are getting two birds with one stone, martial arts and religion. Anyways that might be an idea, Remember you should always be able to add to a good martial arts system just dont take away from it. GOOD LUCK A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Just don't try to evade taxes by citing your dojo expenses as a church function...there is at least one person sent to jail for that.

foreveryoung001 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Just don't try to evade taxes by citing your dojo expenses as a church function...there is at least one person sent to jail for that. What about if it were an actual ministry within the church? I don't think the government can dictate what ministries a church runs. Could be wrong though.
