Religion in Martial Arts


Recommended Posts

Well I guess I am not real religous either (at least for now in my younger ignorant exploration years who knows what might come about later) despite my mom's side being strictly Catholic but - A lot of the so-called 'virtues' and 'qualities' that have been taught to us in many martial arts dojos/dojangs/kwoons/'wherever you may kick other people' often carry over into your daily and outside life, which it definitely has with mine. I think that this is a good thing. When you devote yourself to something like karate, you live it not only when you train but also when you play baseball, take a walk in the park, go to a party, talk with your significant other, whatever. And you live it thru all that stuff about how you are supposed to be honorable and kind and respectful and all that. Kind of an unconventional way to post this opinion but I think as long as they don't force a strict religion on you, it can't hurt to supplement deadly techniques with a 'virtuous' mentality so that it will filter into every other thing that you do. Aint nuthin wrong with that! :spitlaugh: :smile:

God asked Adam what he wanted in his woman companion, and he said 'I want a woman who is incredibly beautiful, smart, honorable, faithful, competent, caring and loving, who will cherish and nurture me, laugh with me, understand me, comfort me in times of sorrow, always be there to lend a helping hand or an ear, someone who I can feel great serving and returning everything that she has ever done for me". And God said, "Well Adam, that is a lot to ask, and for that it will have to cost you both of your arms and both of your legs plus your nose and ears." So Adam thinks for a moment, then he says, 'Hmm, well, what do you think I could get for a rib?"
