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.
