CHRISTIANS ONLY__do you think karate is ok to practice even if your christian? is tai-chi bad? is mokuso bad?

I find these kinds of Christian questions questions about MA or Yoga humorous. Christians are so afraid that satan is lurking out there, disguised as a yoga teacher to tai chi instructor, and that he will lure them away from their faith. Give yourself more credit and THINK for yourself instead of letting the church do it for you.

I think it's perfectly fine. It's a means of self-defense not violence.
I am christian and I do boxing and grappling, my boyfriend is more faithful than I and he is wanting to go to local MMA fights and compete... yeah its fine.
Karate-- OK? Absolutely!

Nope, Tai Chi isn't "bad" --it's actually supposed to be very healthy for you.

I don't know about mokuso, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm Christian; I have been in Tae Kwon Do for 5 years. It's a sports-oriented school so there are no religious overtones there.

You might encounter some religious overtones in a traditional dojo/dojang, but it's unlikely.

What kind of question is that? Karate is fine too practice it's for self defense. Do you really think you'd go to hell because you practice a way of protecting yourself? I say get off your high horse!
All Martial Arts are supposed to be taught as self-defense, and self defense does not violate any Biblical statute. The Word says to guard your heart with all diligence, so protecting yourself is only good and not bad in the form of martial arts. If everyone knew martial arts, the world would be a safer place, so I encourage you to do all you do to the glory of God.
Depends on the syle you are interested in persuing. I have trained in Tae Kwon Do for the last 17 years and have obtained a 4th degree black belt. TKD teaches only self defense. It's principles are very much Christian-like. The TKD code is:
Help other
Respect others
Be honest
Always stand by the weak
I now teach and can tell you that I have touched MANY young lives. My instructor is VERY Christian, as am I and it is awsome to be able to share the knowledge (bot in TKD and in Chritianity) with the next generation, that he shared woth me.
