Religion in the Martial Arts
In the West, many religious fanatics preach that the martial arts are a pagan practice that forces heathen beliefs on its students. They use this ignorant belief to argue that the arts should not be studied by the righteous. Others have countered by starting clubs that teach "Christian martial arts" -- organizations that make it safe for students to learn the arts without fear of being corrupted by blasphemy. Both groups show their ignorance that arises from an ignorance of what religion means in Asian culture.

The Ultimate Fighter Wins Big
SpikeTV's <i>The Ultimate Fighter</i> had its finale on Saturday, April 9, 2005. Three fighters triumphed in their matches, but the true victory was for mixed martial arts fans and promoters who now have a well-known example that shows that the mixed martial arts are about more than sheer brutality and bad attitude, but a legitimate, exciting sport with competitors who are polysyllabic, witty, and -- dare we say it -- intelligent.
