If You Are A Martial Artist
Christian Martial Artist
If you are a Christian Martial Artist, whatever truth is in your heart you must present it in life. A daily practice of PEACE.
Jesus Christ said "You shall love your neighbor as yourself". Treat others the way you want to be treated. The way you greet someone is very important; it sets a certain standard of mutual respect.
In the Martial Arts study, how your Sensei speaks to you and how you speak and act towards your teacher should be with great respect. That is the love that needs to be shown.
Love rejoices in truth; you can never lose it. Ask yourself why am I acting this way?, why am I speaking this way?check yourself so you can never lose your martial art practice which is based on RESPECT and self-control.
If you are a Christian, act like it; if you are a Martial Artist, act like you have good character and good discipline. Forget the fight unless is absolutely necessary. Martial Artist are taught self-defense, peace.
"Karate ni sente nashi", there is no first strike in Karate. It will take a practitioner some time to understand the true meaning of the well know precept. It will make sense once you as Martial Artist, put the time and the understanding.
Be a Christian Martial Artist.
