Eric Wilson, I am now a practitioner and have started using Chi. My Master is a kind person and "it" always feels like its my determination and power flowing through me, not Possession. After watching this video I can't help but wonder If maybe it was a dark entity that merely wanted to feed on your chi. However I respect you and your intelligence; do you think I should quit? Please understand Eric, that for me...This way of life, is the first thing that has ever made sense. I never felt spiritual energy with Christ, but I do feel it in the underground of Secret Martial Arts.
Danny Sanchez Dear Danny, The first thing I would ask you is . . . are you a Christian? Do you believe in, and have you surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ? I do not ask to put you on the spot, but this makes all the difference in how this question you have ask, is answered. I am sending you the link below to our website, which answers many of the questions which I was unable to address in the testimony, due to the limits of time. Please contact me by email as soon as you are able, for I would also like to send you a few things to help shed Light on this question. secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/ You may contact us at the email address in the dropdown box just below the video. Or on the contact page at our ministry site. I look forward to hearing from you soon ! May the LORD God Almighty lead and guide you into all Truth ! Sincerely, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
Dear Sir, I share this link to one of the most powerful and eye-opening films I have seen in the last few years. I encourage you to take time to watch the full program. For it will answer many questions.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QCmSBfVXEmAM.htmlay this help in the search for Light and Truth !your brother in Christ,Eric Wilson
It's too bad you even have to mention that about people mocking each other and cursing each other out in the comment section, it would probably take an extemely long time to find a RU-vid video with over 20 comments that doesn't have some immature insults and curse words, every generation is just going to continue getting worse and worse and more desensitized to profanity sexual content and every bit of evil in the world. More people need to point it out like you have.
EricWilson7 Well sir I have over 35 years in the chinese martial & in that time i have heard many incorrect statements, much misinformation & things that are just outright wrong & you seemed to restate & hit everyone of them. I have to even question if you did study real Authentic chinese Gung Fu after listening to your talk.Seems to me you fell victim to ego based power hungry Cultist & never once learned from a real Gung fu Sifu.Now besides all of that can you tell me where in the Good book does it say that the study of Personal protection/self defenes is not allowed? is it wrong for a man to be able to protect his loved ones? if so where does it say so? Would be thankful if you have any info on that.
Do these far-right "christians" have a special version of the bible with all the passages about love, kindness, tolerance and forgiveness expunged in favour of their bigotry, intolerance and hatred?
This is a great video Eric. I have trained in mixed martial arts since graduating high school several years ago. I was a wrestler in high school and liked the the discipline martial arts offered. Shortly after I started training,I started seeking ways in which I could become better. This "coincidentally" led me to becoming infatuated with the occult. I read various books on the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism, started meditating everyday, and practiced things like astral projection (not really related to martial arts but I came across it in my research and started obsessing over it). I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I started experiencing strange side effects shortly afterwards, like feelings of being disassociated from my body or feeling energy flow up to my head and feelings of floating. I also started having bizarre dreams; some of which scared the you know what out of me. I continued these practices until one day when I felt inclined to research the dangers of yoga, kundalini, astral projection, qigong.etc. I found out some interesting things but your video presented some interesting points as well. I still train in mixed martial arts, specifically muay thai, brazilian jiu jitsu and american wrestling. I discontinued researching eastern philosophy and practices. The gym I train at is for mixed martial arts fighters and only focuses on techniques and training to get the fighters prepared for their fights. None of the philosophies behind martial arts are taught. There is no belt system or "masters" or anything like that. We basically just go through some techniques and then do full contact sparring at the end. Many of the fighters I train with are top ranked amateurs in the state or professional fighters. I have been training with many of these guys for years, and consider them to be my friends. I occasionally fight but I am in nursing school right now so I mostly like to train and get the others fighters prepared. What I am trying to get at is, even though I am not practicing the traditional martial arts, is what I am still doing still wrong? I understand what you are saying about the ego getting fed and feeling powerful from training. I am fully aware of these things and try to keep them in check. I just think it would be very tough for me to throw in the towel and leave the sport altogether.
Dear brother Jon, I encourage you to read the full article which we have posted below. These pages reveal much which I was unable to cover in the testimony due to time. After reading these prayerfully, please send me an email at the address in the drop-down box just below the testimony. We are lifting you in prayer with this decision, and if you are willing to hear, the Lord Jesus Christ has promised He will lead you ! There are many decisions we as followers and disciples of Christ will be asked to make in the days ahead, and many of them will be very difficult. But so long as His glory, and His Word are the purpose of our lives, He will give us strength to do His Will ! secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/ vimeo.com/82423155 "If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the doctrine (teaching, instructions) !" John 7:17 "I delight to do Thy will, O my God, Yea, Thy Law (instructions in righteousness) are within my heart !" Psalm 40:8 "Written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshy tables of the heart . . . !" II Corinthians 3:3 & Matthew 5:17-28 & Isaiah 42:21 May the LORD (Jehovah, Yehuwah) Bless and give you His strength, both to will and to do His good pleasure ! your brother in Christ, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
Eric, I intend to read your full article and get back to you soon. I am leaving for a mission trip to David, Kentucky early tomorrow and will not have access to my computer. When I get back though I will definitely read it. Thanks for getting back to me so promptly.
I had to stop at 11 minutes in. If you are going to practice martial arts and follow Christ it should be pretty simple, look for a "Karate is for defense only" school, not a "NO MERCY" one. I really wish people would stop grouping stuff together and talking about it like it all is of the same quality. Whether it is GMOs, vaccines, a color/race of people or martial arts, those labels may describe a few attributes, if we blanket others that don't always apply we appear as a fool.
Hello, I am 14 years of age and I christian. I am going through torment in school and I feel as if I am consumed in sin. Not a soul knows my religious beliefs due to the fear of more torment. I pray but I am left in silence, I beg for forgiveness but I get consumed by sin, I believe in the bible however haven't read it, I sit in a pool of fear to the demons which torment me. Please pray for me... What am I doing wrong?
Dear brother Nathan, My family and I are lifting you in prayer tonight, and we will continue to do so each day, asking in faith, and knowing that the LORD has a calling for you, and He will complete that good work which He has begun in your life ! I would like to send you a few articles which were of great help to me, when the LORD was setting me free. If you are able, send me an email at our address for our ministry (in the drop down box just below our testimony). Often when someone is seeking Salvation and/or freedom in Christ Jesus, they may not want or desire for every details to be public online. I will be happy to help in any way that I can. And I look forward to hearing from you again when you are able to write. May the LORD God bless and keep you tonight, and may His angels who excel in strength guard and protect you, according to His promised Word (Psalm 34:7-8). Trust that the LORD really does love you, and that it is He Who has placed this desire for victory and freedom with your heart . . . He will not forsake you in this battle, and I can assure you, He will prevail if you will hold fast to His mighty hand ! Isaiah 49:8-16 & 49:24-25 & Jeremiah 29:11-14 your brother in Christ, Eric & Sarah Wilson and family - Isaiah Ministries
You can still find self-defense schools that are not based in Yin/Yang or any Religious affiliation if you attend a boxing/MMA like I do. I do not see it affecting my devotion to my Catholic faith. As far as ego - it is not bad if you feel good about yourself as long as you do not use it to belittle or bully others. I would not steer people away from self-defense because I think everyone needs to learn to defend themselves.What you said could be said about some people who get their Carry firearm permit.
Fred Pine the truth have no label because labels are a hindrance to the independent understanding of truth and produce hateful prejudices in people Buddhist Christian's all labels the definition matters not the label
Not all schools include religion or religious practices in their training. They don't all do meditation but rather the usual sprints, splits, sit ups, push ups, etc. Many schools focus on perfecting technique and many schools are NOT full contact at all. ALL sports are competitive. Sorry but not only martial arts are about being number 1 no matter what. What about the Olympics....various World Cups (FIFA, Rugby, etc). Even on a school level, we see kids playing basketball, hockey (field and ice), cricket, baseball, tennis - all the be NUMBER 1. At school - academics, games like chess, activities like choir.....all with the goal of being at the top of that podium. If you aren't striving to be the best, then what are you working for? You are training to develop physical skills. Sorry but I'm not buying this. There might be some schools out there that have ill wishes or misguided goals but the majority of martial arts schools don't push any other agenda apart from teaching technique and precision. I know several people who do different types of martial arts and all it did was help them learn to defend themselves, stay fit, and maintain a calmer approach to life. I never heard of any religious influences at their training sessions - not at any level.
The world: "If you aren't striving to be the best, then what are you working for?" Jesus: "I tell you those who seek to be first will be last, and the last will be first." What does Jesus mean by that? If we're out to just be like the world, (James 4:4) then we will be thrown into the fire of hell with the world. We will be put last, with the rest of the world that loves itself. When you go into _any_ martial arts what do they have you do? bow to your "sensei" - this means master. Again, what does Christ tell you? "Call no man 'father' (or master) as you have _one_ father" The other issue is the degrees, which is Luciferian through and through. Check out this video from brother Nephtali on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lo1cd3Ucs4c.html
What about Christians in the military? They have to learn martial arts? What about medieval European warriors? They didn't swing swords around randomly, the best ones developed their own techniques; and yes although they were not as advanced as the Eastern fighting styles they were pretty much martial arts seeing as martial arts means the art of war. So even Christian *monks* such as Templars and Teutonic knights practiced martial arts.
nice to see you are a christian surprised but good. God of Bible and Jesus is not against self defence or protect innocent or family or self or country from evil thats very clear by bible. however bible is very clear all forms of friendship with the world makes one an enemy of god and the very core rooths of martial arts is occult and the force chi is not of god but is occult. god has shown several visions about this with martial arts of the world all who is involved in it at heart will not enter heaven as one can not drink the cup of the lord and demons. if one wanna learn self defence go to god of bible let god teach you and no man. boxing alone at boxing bag alone home should be fine but never have masters or teachers that you bow down to or almost treat in a sence like an god as god sees that as an idol if it takes more time and effort then god prayers read do bible meditate on bible gods word on a daily basis etc. god har been very clear to many of his messengers you cannot be involved in martial arts of the world if you wanna enter heaven this is not for a specific group of belivers but applies all christians as martial arts actually comes from and is developed by satan he satan influenced the minds of the human masters to create martial arts in their unbeliving christ minds etc. the core of martial arts is evil and god also shown the powers in martial arts is occult satanic see youtube watch?v=6DsCBusX6sI and youtube watch?v=ZiC8JWoxhqs and youtube watch?v=HmdYDN7jcqA . I understand you me too were intrested in self defence God is for self defence but against all forms of wordly martial arts none who practise martial arts worlds will enter Gods kingdom see youtube watch?v=f7QKx-_oZh8 repent of it and leave it thanks. regarding sicknesses often caused by evil unrepentant evils or sometimes demonic or none human done evil but happend so god glorified when person is cured by Jesus of Bible john 9 : 3.
Funny how he doesn't answer any of the good question and only the ego stroking ones. That's because you bring a valid point... there's gray in everything and it's all about how you use it.
Thank you so much! I was going to sign my 5 year old son up and the Lord told me no. I asked but why not? It’s camp it’s cheap and I need to put him somewhere. The Lord lead me to this video saying…here’s why. All the Praises goes to the Lord! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thank you very much Eric Wilson for your testimony. At the end of the day we live in a secular post-modern society who have no value for God or the scripture. Occult signs and symbols are found everywhere, but most people don't even acknowledge it. As bible believing Christians can we stay true to our beliefs while following the secular moral guidance which contradicts the bibles teachings? Paul said 'Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?' (2 Corinthians 6:14) I personally started practising Karate as a child, then Fujian Kung Fu, then kick boxing, then Capoeira. To be honest, I always felt that God was calling me away from martial arts, but I kept making excuses, because I always stayed away from the spiritual aspect of martial arts and I thought the physical side would be compatible with Christianity as long as I don't accept their beliefs. However the feeling against martial arts was so strong that I felt compelled to stop any association with martial arts all together. After a few years away from martial arts I sustained an injury in my leg, so I was encouraged by my physiotherapist to start doing yoga as part of my rehab and this led me to get back into martial arts through Tai chi chuan/Chi Kung. Everything was OK for a few weeks, then I experienced a strange waking dream while I was in the yoga class, which made the instructor very happy and she wanted to introduce me to breathing exercises. Soon after this there was a night when I was woken up and it felt like my injured leg was on fire, I prayed about it and the pain went away instantly. I told my doctor about the incident, but he had no clue what could have caused the burning pain. Despite this experience I kept practising Yoga and Tai chi, but my injury kept getting worst, so after a few more incidences I put two and two together and I decided to stop. That very same night I had a dream in which God revealed to me that the true energy behind Hinduism, Buddhism and all "works based" religions is Satan. I needed to know more and I did hours of research and I came to the same conclusion as you about the occult nature behind the movements and symbols, that are found in martial arts and popular culture. The system of movements in yoga and martial arts were made with spiritual intent, so doing the movements (like the sun salutation) still holds the same meaning even if we do it just for exercise. After learning this I soon experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in my life and I felt the presence you spoke about in your video. At first I couldn't even speak, but eventually I called out to Jesus Christ to release me from what was trying to take control of my body and the Almighty Living God answered my prayers. I realised that God literally saved me and there really is power in the name of our Lord, so I started looking into spiritual warfare. I realised that through martial arts and yoga I had opened doors and allowed entities to attack me, but through the grace of God I was able to see the truth. I repented for my sins and I have thrown away anything that distracts me from God. Please keep fighting the good fight Eric, even if the world doesn't want to hear it.
Dear Jacob, I thank you so much for your prayers, and your words of faith and encouragement. Praise the LORD for the miracles He is doing to set the captives free ! There are so many who are yet struggling in darkness, doubt and sin, who, if they only knew how much their Father in heaven really loved and cherished them, would rejoice at the great calling which He has on each of our live . . . . For He is saying Today, "My son, my daughter . . . Go tell what great things the LORD hath done for you!" Mark 5:19. When you are able, I would love to talk together, even if only by email.

I don’t know if anyone is still watching this video 10 years later, but I have a testimony as well. I grew up practicing Chito-Ryu Karate from 7 years old till I was 12. I loved it. I felt so powerful when I would do demonstrations with weapons, and I was shy but I would take on an intense, aggressive attitude when I would perform. Being a black belt always gave me a sense of pride, and people didn’t want to mess with me because they knew I was skilled. I took a year break, and I started Taekwondo when I was 13. Again, I enjoyed it, and I got my second black belt. Everyone was proud of my achievements, but for some reason I felt off. Throughout these years, I believed in God, but I had no relationship with him. It always felt like a force field was keeping me away from pursuing him deeper so I never did really. He had his hand on me the whole time though, as I also felt this desire to get out of it and do other things, but I stayed because it was comfortable for me. I even started working at this school, from 2016 all the way up to March of this year. Once I got to my 20’s, I decided to actually pursue the Lord because I was hitting a rock bottom in depression, physical symptoms, etc., but it was still unusually difficult. After I would try to read the Bible and pray intimately, I would feel like crap and get strangely strong desires to do worldly things. This was a cycle that happened over and over again. Through deep communion with the Holy Spirit and learning about deliverance, I realized that my symptoms were getting worse and worse at my job. After that I was able to expose the Spirit that was causing my issues, and I quit my job and got rid of my Martial Arts stuff. It is crazy now I feel the symptoms going away as I talk about it openly with people. Thank you Jesus!❤
I remember listening to your testimony in 2014 on the day just before my karate class. I've had so much concerns and questions concerning this issue on martial arts. I wonder why Jesus would tell his disciples to carry swords and king David who was a warrior as well as guys like Joshua who was also a fighter yet it is considered that a Christian should not practice martial arts. So how about the soldiers in the army who are taught martial arts amongst whom there are Christians, are they sinning against God by doing this service? Secondly, it's a man's sacred duty to be a protector, sometimes not every time, force or rather self defense may be necessarily be applied, why would one not practice self defense in such a context? My genuine concerns.
One of the Q&A from John Macarthur said, sports are good but not to idolize so much. MMA? He said is destroying God creation of image of a man and woman. Harming people lives for pride and glory is not honor Him. Its anger, pride and harm. There's more he said but since that's what I remember. I left Taekwondo bc its bowing to the image of man and its expensive. Korean love respect, but not kind this way. I didn't know the martial arts are dangerous for Holy spirit and can lose faith in Him. When I listen to Mr Macarthur. Now, that explains why police shouldn't beat up suspect face, bc then the suspect wouldn't talk if severe. Damage jaw or brain. Now to be honest, I'm training BJJ that doesn't have bowing to image of a man or old man. But I'm careful not to be obsessed of bjj, but to be sure have for my nephew with severe Autism to be calm and protect children and teens. Pray for ya bro. God loves you
In this life you have to choose between God and the devil.You can't have them both.The supernatural forces behind martial arts comes from the devil and his demons.
I have trained in the martial arts most my life, taught for the last 18. I don't teach my students any mysticism or internal power, all that stuff is garbage and every trick those so called masters can perform I too can perform and explain it by physics and anatomy. I don't teach my students to win or be the best- simply they learn the best techniques I can offer to defend their life and the life of those around them. John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. I have been in the church since I was 3 and have been preaching the Gospel of Christ for close to 30 years now. I agree with some of your statements on certain martial art instructors and how they teach their students "mystical powers", it's a joke and some can be dangerous but lumping all systems and instructors into "the devils army" is wrong. Christians have a right to learn to defend themselves and most of my students are members of local churches, parents that home school their kids and are very protective of what these kids watch, read, the movies they see and the music they listen to but they are more than comfortable having me teach their child self defense because they know my faith in Christ and that I don't teach the mystical mumbo jumbo.
Dear brother, Is that why so many Christians involve themselves in these eastern practices? Is it honestly because they fear for those "little older ladies" who are unable to defend themselves ? Or is it because there is a seductive influence which works to draw every man, woman and child, into the snare of "self-sufficiency, "self-dependence" and "pride" rather than a humble yet confident walk in the power of the Living God ? And how does one read our Lord and Sovereign King's commands to His disciples, and when He said . . . "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth . . . . But I say unto you, That ye resist not (push not back in retaliation against) evil ! . . . but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law (court), and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also ! And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (2). Give unto him that asketh of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away . . . . For I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you . . . So that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven . . . !" Matthew 5:38-45 Can the man of God trust the Word of the LORD, or is he left to doubt that the LORD literally means what He has said ? Can we trust Him ? Or as Jesus said, "When the Son of man returns, shall He find faith on the earth ?" Luke 18:7-8 & Romans 12:19 May the LORD Bless you, and keep you according to His promised, unfailing Word ! your brother in Christ Jesus, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
EricWilson7 king David was a man after God's own heart and also a warrior. He had to have trained to be able to fight philistines. What's more Jesus himself instructed his disciples to buy swords of they didn't have any. What's more, training put of love for your wife and children and to be able to protect them is not arrogant. It's good stewardship and necessary. If I am to love my wofe like Christ loved the church, then I need to provide for her, even after I'm attacked. I have to be able to survive an attack to continue to fulfil my duty to her.
Thank you Eric Wilson for your work of love in Christ. Regardless of the schools and disciplines that you came out of, It takes faith to quit a big part of life's work to pursue the treasures that are eternal. I know you and I will have differences, but you and I will agree that we can only serve one Master and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your video again.
I believe we are supposed to ask God - not the angels. God can send angels to help us. But we aren't to pray to angels. You are welcome to correct me with a scripture. I used to think I could talk to angels. But learned we aren't. (Can't remember the verse.) Besides, how do we know which angels are answering us.... the fallen ones? or the ones in heaven? Please be careful!!!
Yes, Martial Arts are for the ones who want to dodge and counter-punch, not for the ones who want to turn the other cheek. Jokes aside, a few of the students at my dojo are Christians. They seem to handle worship and exercise fine. And I'm sure they in a real-world situation dodge and counter-punch rather than turn the other cheek, and protect themselves and loved ones. I still don't see any problem with that.
before i was christian a man once tried to munch me at a bar i blocked with my left hand how i learned in tae kwon do/kick boxing. he lost his balance and the stumbled, the cops arrested him and beat him up for fighting back and he ended up in the hospital....i followed the ambulance and made sure he was okay. i didnt fight back but maybe the best thing to do is not even to block but to take the whole hit.
The question you asks has got to be a joke though you say its serious. I grew up in Church, have been saved since I was very young, and also grew up in many different stlyes of martial arts (21 years not including U.S.M.C). None in these days have met Jesus. so why would you ask me that? I also know plenty of history and the beginnings of martial arts which pre-date india which you spoke of. Your books are cool but you never answered my question. An untruth in a nice way is an untruth which is practice by many 501c3 churches nowadays. You assumed I was unsaved but I am. Ive also met a few sifus that struggle with this battle of not knowing becaise of strategic conditioning. Do what helps you in your walk with christ, I just felt you were mis informed. Good day!
Words worth considering . . . . "Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might . . . for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness* (II Corinthians 4:3-6) of this world, yea, against spiritual wickedness (wicked spirits) in high places . . . even those spirits which now work in the children of disobedience !" Ephesians 6:10-12 and 2:1-2 And "the weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal (weak and mere flesh), but they are mighty* through God . . . to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing (spirits of the air) which exalts itself (Isaiah 14:12-15) against the knowing of God (which is Life eternal - John 17:3) . .. And bringing every thought into captivity to the perfect obedience of Christ !" "For we are more than conquerors, through Him that loves us !" Romans 8:37 and especially Isaiah 41:10-20* Our God is faithful, and he that believeth on Him, shall not be put to shame. For He verily cannot lie, and He is Mighty to save ! Numbers 23:19 and Psalm 34:7-8 May our Saviour and Mighty God bless and keep you this week, strong in faith and the unfailing power of His Life-giving Word ! your friend and brother, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
Great video, God bless. We should always "investigate" the Spirits that are by us, are they from God or Lucifer? Satan exists, and people should realize that... Thanks again, it was great to watch this video!
Thank you for your words of encouragement, and prayer ! And I also encourage you to read the full article listed in the dropdown box above, on the "Secret Dangers of . . ." There is much revealed here, which we were not permitted by time to share in this testimony ! May the LORD (Yehuwah) Bless and keep you strong in faith, and in the power of His Life-giving Word ! your brother in Christ Jesus, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
EricWilson7 , i thank you for being kind and "caring" :) English is not my first language, so i apologize if my words weren't correct - i got the article in Word via email, which was sent from my sister in God at Adventist church so i thank you for honest care. This video has made me thought a lot, since i'm still a young guy (25) who always loved to check some MMA stuff, but this really made me realize that we shouldnt even go near the negative stuff, if we know where it can lead... greetings from Slovenia, Europe! GOD BLESS
Thank you so much for this, it really helped with all the things I've been researching and after dating a professional mixed martial arts fighter and how that relationship destroyed me, makes a lot of sense and you did a very amazing job of explaining it I have a hard time with that because of complex PTSD and trauma I just research research research and then I just try to explain it in 5 minutes to someone and never gets anywhere.

Thank you so much for responding! And sorry for that long rant up there that got autocorrected and it's kind of confusing. I was running on little sleep when I posted that and I didn't double check it. Thank you so much for this list here I'm going to get started on it right now. I know God led me here for a reason and I'm so grateful, God bless you and your wife and thanks again. Very powerful testimony and really helped me more than I can express in words. God bless! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for your presentation. I had a similar experience: 40 years in several martial arts, then God told me: "Look up my son!" That's the only time God talked to me, and I still don't know what it means but it's all I needed to bring me back to God. God is the only "way". The martial arts are beneficial, but the Holy Spirit has to be in the driver seat.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. Here also is a link to the full documentary that we had begun working on, when I shared this testimony. I pray that this also will be a blessing to you, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCg93yOaEzA.html - The Dragon Revealed ! part.1 P.S. part.2 is also available online.

Dear Eric. Thank you for sharing. I am 47 years old and I have practiced martial arts since I was 15. I always felt very proud of that. I wanted to share with others how your mind suddenly "changes" once you are in a combat. Just as if it wasn`t really you the one who is fighting. Now I understand there are really demon spirits that take over you. It will be hard but I have to quit admiring martial arts. Thank you again for sharing and be well.
Good morning brother RCharco, I am so glad to know that the miracle which our Mighty God did in my life, has also been a blessing to you !

I do not believe in Chi, nor do I have any religious beliefs, however I have been involved in the study of Martial Arts for 39 of my 46 years. Martial Arts has been nothing but a positive influence on my life. They encourage focus and dedication, and they give you, not only life skills, but practical skills too. I don't want to disrespect anyone, whether they believe the in the pseudo-science of chi/ki, or whether they believe in one of the three major Abrahamic religions. Focus on the tatami, in the dojo, is what gives me peace, and I cannot abide Chi proponents, or theologians adding a false supernatural twist to the arts that I, and millions of others, around the world, enjoy.
I would first like to say, this is an amazing testimony and thank the Lord for saving you from Martial Arts. I would like to tell everyone in the comment section that are in denial about the Martial Arts of it's true nature, is that it comes from the Devil, it comes from Satan. This is not just some ordinary guy with no experience in Martial Arts. This guy pretty much dedicated his whole life into Martial Arts and it caused some important things in his life to fall apart. He has more experience and more knowledge in Martial Arts than any of you have ever had in your entire lives. If you actually finish the entire video and get to the ending, you'll see the conclusion he made into why Martial Arts is evil. I'll make it easy for you, go to 1:01.00 in the video listen from there. Do what he did and read that book he referenced. Recommend you watch the whole video though. Also, for those who claim to be Christians and say that Martial Arts isn't bad or evil, he is warming you about the dangers of Martial Arts. It's interesting, when I come across people on the internet that can't tolerate God, Jesus Christ, or the Bible, they themselves throw out any possible sense in a real in depth debate and ultimately fail to get the main point from the side they are opposed to. You simply don't want God in your life and you don't want to hear the truth. In Jeremiah 9:6 it says, "You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me", declares the Lord." In the name of Jesus Christ, open their eyes Lord.
Jose B. May i ask, have you ever studied any form of martial art? Can i also ask, do you think that the sport of boxing is also from the Devil? In case you don't reply, the reason i am asking is that unless you've actually tried out a martial art then you don't really truly understand anything about it. I also ask about boxing because boxing is a legitimate, popular sport throughout the world. Boxing, like martial arts, teaches fitness, discipline, co-ordination, self-defence, etc, yet there's none of this weird connection of so called religious meanings to it like there is with martial arts. The aim of a boxer is to score/hit the opponent, as is the ultimate aim of martial arts. That's it. There is no religious meanings to martial arts in general (i acknowledge that there will be the odd strange cult out there that does, but they're absolute minimal). The whole point of martial arts (martial = war. Art of war) is to protect yourself and destroy your enemy. Today, this has been mostly turned into a watered down sporting/fitness/hobby activity. Boxing is the same. The majority of boxing practitioners don't fight or compete. Note: Boxing is not a martial art. It is a combat sport.
Jose B. He is the almighty who could beat him in a fight no one can..I guess King David was evil to and some of the ancient isrealite warriors all practise martial arts... Where. The isrealite generals could takeout five hundred men with his bare hands... Gets your facts right!
@@righteousjeweler3258 What a BLASPHEMY! REPENT! May GOD have mercy on your soul (you)! The "fight" of the Christians is SPIRITUAL (Ephesians 6)! God YAHSHUA bless you!
I'm a Tai Chi instructor and a Christian. There is no evil in Martial arts. The color belts have nothing to do with righteousness. True martial arts is for Self-Defense, a true martial artist will never attack another person. This man is not teaching the truth.
Dear brother, I encourage you to take time to read the full article which I have included below. And I pray that this will help give understanding to what was revealed in the testimony. - secretdangersofmartialarts (dot) wordpress (dot) com/ Sincerely, Eric Wilson
Yes.. you have a boss but.... GOD you need to obey and HE will never ask you to do something that is wrong. Man is not that way, of course. When a boss tells you to do something that is wrong.. you are to NOT do it. Big difference between the two "bosses".
There is more than one way to logic and reason. I think of what Bruce Lee says about learning certain styles or methods of fighting. His philosophy is to incorporate and learn all. To be a student of anything worth learning. That there is always a time and a place for each. Indeed Master Lee was spot on. It's not only a good philosophy in any form of sports or competition. But also a good way to approach Life itself.
@@EricWilson7 I saw those already. Seems to be quite a disdain for Eastern Philosophies. Just because it's not Biblical scripture, does not mean it should be so demonized. Much of the Taoist teachings are about the realities of life. That all have darkness and lightness nature. Within each of us is the realization that Life is and has always been a struggle to survive. That those that have the necessary means to balance light and dark. Are those that survive. That these understand there is a time and a place for everything under the Heavens. A time for peace and a time to fight.
@@jstube36 The Word of Almighty God tells us clearly, that . . . "God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all !" - I John 1:5 and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God !" "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the forces of the darkness of this world; yea, against spiritual wickedness (wicked spirits) in the heavens !" Ephesians 6:12-17 and II Corinthians 10:4-5 May our Saviour and Mighty God bless and lead you this week in the light of His Word ! your friend, Eric Wilson and family - Isaiah Ministries
@@EricWilson7 No darkness at all you say. In Isaiah God himself is quoted ," I bring peace and calamities". Answering a popular question regarding the Deity. "Why does he allow so much suffering?" Answer: He either can't, refuses to do so, or causes it. And this is the same "Almighty God" that delights when a devoted follower is willing to murder his own child at the pleasure of his deity. I would say that sounds pretty dark.
@@jstube36 The Lord Jesus Christ's greatest desire is to protect and shield each and every one of us from danger and the power of the Devil. But to gain this protection, we must choose His protection rather than fall under the dominion of Satan and the evil angels. Every person has been given the power and freedom to choose which side they desire to live under . . . darkness or Light and freedom and Peace ! When a man surrenders their life to the LORD God, there is no fear, no doubt, no guilt or shame. I have been on both sides of this war . . . and without any shadow of a doubt, the LORD God and Christ Jesus are faithful, they are True and they are full of unfailing power and Divine mercy ! I am lifting you in much prayer, that you may know how much the LORD God really loves you. And His great desire to make you free ! your friend, Eric Wilson
@@newphilmz3605 No, it is about being a better you. And better able to protect and serve your family and neighbor, in all manners. Martial arts has benefited my walk with the Lord and recoordinated my mind and body. I have no shame in it. And I don't need to feel hate when attacking someone. Do what needs to be done. Get you and/or family to safety, care for the attacker if you are able, and carry on about the day. Don't know what the big deal is. It's the eastern mysticism that is wrong. I take basic strikes, throws, locks, etc. and make them my bread and butter. Been through the energy transmutation and I could make energy balls after like 5mo. And could move things without touching them. It was all demonic and I suffered greatly for it. But as for moving your body in a way to stop a force from causing someone harm. Don't see anything evil about it. This is God's temple. And it will execute justice for those who cannot defend themselves.
I have been maditating since 1998 and took karate. after 6 year of meditation i realize something incredible. this something always works in your favor not against you. it is always showing you the way, keep you away from harm. you just have to listen but not with your ears. There is no way no way this could be EVIL. the real evil is that voice you hear in side your head, the voice of the EGO.
@foxmulderise Well it's really so simple to know whether these spirits are evil or not. Just seek a deep relationship with the God of the Bible.Read the Bible everyday,and follow the 10 commandments faithfully. Obey God.Pray several times in a day.Sing praise and worship hymns all day long. Then come and tell us about your experience.
A true martial arts master would have refused to train someone who just wanted power over others. The true meaning of KUNG fu is to master yourself, not others. Master your own anger, fear, desires etc. it's not about fighting other than self defense.
There is nothing wrong with practicing Martial Arts as long as you know who your master is. If you put anything 'before' the Lord, whether it is Martial Arts, sports, money or even your spouse, then it becomes idolatry. Bottom line. I take BJJ, and there is no mystical teaching or anything remotely spiritual. It is just for sport/self defense and physical fitness.
I didn't even suspect that Chi energy could be demonic, but now that you mention it, it kind of fits. I've practiced Tai Chi (Yang style) for a while and noticed an effect over time. The power (or whatever it is) is seductive and definitely makes me feel alive. It's going to be hard for me to stop practicing. I'm also a power lifter and my practice of Tai Chi has produced a noticeable effect in this area as well.
Hi, I left internal ving tsun (kung fu) because i felt huge amounts of power into my body (yoga like pathway energy.) I didn't see bad entities or anything like that but I don't wanna go against God/Jesus; that's why I stopped my practice.
I have been doing martial arts and yoga for several years now. No bad effects on me :D Its all in the mind. You believe bad things can happen to you... they will. People (ESPECIALLY AMERICANS) join martial arts for the wrong reasons. They join because they want to beat up people and look cool. Martial arts goes a lot further than physical fitness. Mental health and well being is the primary purpose of martial arts.
Thanks. Do you recommend any alternatives? My son is special meeds and did really well with martial arts. I ended up removing him due to convictions from the Holy Spirit. My son agreed. What’s interesting is my son recognized that martial arts did not align with his faith in the first class at age 7. When he was told to bow he said “I will only bow to the one true God” we giggled at him. And im not proud but his instructor and I talked him into bowing saying it was just a sign of respect. My son accepted this. Around a year later, after feeling some convictions I decided to look up what the phrase meant that they were stating every time they entered or exited doors and sometimes while bowing. You’re right, it was definitely drawing an energy, power that was not the Holy Spirit. At that point I reminded my son of his righteous stance day one. I apologized and commended him and explained what I learned. He agreed to stop going but we’ve never found an athletic alternative. He’s unable and uninterested in the other sports. Plus because he’s a bit different I would like him to know self defence. I started looking up Christian martial arts. There are none in my area from what I can see. But this search led me to your video which seems to again be confirming that even that is a no. His previous master was Christian too.
Praise the LORD for the miracle He has done and is yet to do in you and your son's lives ! Here are the links to a couple of other more updated videos that our Saviour has given for us to share online. It is our sincere prayer that each of these will also be a great blessing to you and your dear son ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCg93yOaEzA.html - *The Dragon Revealed ! part.1* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kwEcoyR48T4.html - *Part.2* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LEN_jm2fORA.html - *Not Against Flesh & Blood !* (Stephanie Griffin Interview) Since our Lord and Saviour delivered and set me free 17 years ago, I have not practiced any form of martial arts even for a day. Each day I simply jog, walk, exercise with kettle bells and an abdominal wheel, and I spend every moment that I can with our Father and Saviour in heaven, reading and listening to His promises and His Word ! If there is not an interest in other sports . . . Then I would strongly encourage you and your son to seek the LORD personally, asking that He will guide your feet in His will for your son's life. I believe that the LORD may have a call on your son's life. And what a far greater honor to be called of God, than to be caught up in the distractions of this world. Even at his young age, he can be a powerful witness to the love and power of our Redeemer ! Please send me an email, and I will be glad to share with you a few of the articles on faith and victory and the power of our Almighty God, that have been the greatest inspiration and help in my life !

This is really just absurd. As you said, you were looking for power before you ever started training. You're ashamed of your past, and are using martial arts as a scapegoat to prove to yourself that the problem isn't in within you. Also, you mention that martial arts school intentionally look for younger people since they're impressionable at that age. This is absolutely asinine since that is exactly what religion does to get its claws into a person The number of logical falicies you make in this video literally makes me nauseous.
One thing that you are correct about. Both martial arts and Christianity are religious. The only question is . . . which one is the Truth, and which is merely a counterfeit? And what is at the end of that "path" if a person chooses the eastern spiritual practices? Do they reveal the One and Only Creator of heaven and earth? Do they share the love of Almighty God (Jehovah, Yehuwah Elohim) for you personally? or do the spirits which work through these arts blind men's eyes so that they may not see the Truth ? I am including a link below which reveals in greater detail the Truth behind these arts. And I pray that you will be Blessed as you read each page of the article ! secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/ Sincerely, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
Having been one that has looked at the spiritual sides for many years, it was refreshing having you give your side of it about martial arts. I'm still for knowing how to defend and at the same time knowing that there are only two powers to tap into. Again, thanks for sharing.
amen thank you great teaching. This works the same way around for things like sjamanism, yoga, haptonomy, meditation and so fort. I'me a new born Christian and know what occult powers can do and how they polute you
But he did say that without darkness there is no light in the bible it say something about u have to accept that satan is real, now I didnt say worship but if evil didn't exist than we wouldn't know what good is, it would be more like Jesus is the way and that's it, what they teach is true but I'm sure some of them do hide things, God should tell u something ain't right as he said so he should have just found another I'm not disagreeing with u its just meditation in good but u have to know what's right it becomes occult when when u use ur soul as evil for example killing someone with a iron fist on purpose u just have to let God tell u if there something wrong he will tell u u just have to believe
And it's not saying that there has to be the devil to have God it's just saying we wouldn't know that God had good intentions because we didnt know bad existed it was just God was our creator we must do what he said he gave us a gift
And thou shalt not see evil any more . . . The LORD (Yehuwah) thy God (Elohim) in the midst of thee is Mighty; He will save (deliver, set free, heal and make thee whole), He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will Rest in His love, and He will joy over thee with singing . . . !" Zephaniah 3:14-17 "For unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings (borders of His garments) . . . And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under
I'm a catholic, and I have been training in the martial arts for 12 years. I can safely say that the martial arts is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have trained in TaeKwonDo, Kickboxing, san da and BJJ. All martial art systems I have studied have always taught me to show respect, and treat others well. To respect and treat others well is the fundamental Judaeo-Christian message. If anything martial arts has made me a better Christian. The problems with martial arts is that some schools do teach religious type attitude towards certain masters and instructors. However this is becoming more and more rare, especially in the western world. In my old taekwondo organisation (TAGB) we had several masters, all of them were the most down to earth and the nicest men possible. Martial arts can be practical, they can help someone protect themselves if they are unfortunate enough to be attacked on the streets. Or they can be fun, in the form of competition. I understand that there are still schools that exist and are very dodgy. If anyone is concerned about starting the martial arts i recommend trying all schools in your local area, and train at the school you enjoy the most. With an open and objective mind you should be able to easily find a safe school for you/ your children. The gentleman in this video appears to have been unfortunate enough to train in these shady forms of martial arts. "Chi energy" does not exist. Schools that claim to have magic type abilities should be avoided at all cost, they are environments of mass hysteria. You cannot use "chi energy" to push someone or to block attacks. It simply does not exist. Indoctrination and brainwashing students to believe they have magic powers are common in these kinds of martial arts. Sometimes seducing seemingly intelligent people. However, the modern martial art world has woken up to this, and this from of useless chi/magic trash martial arts is thankfully dying. In closing, martial arts is not a "sin" or "unchristian" or whatever you may like to call it. It is simply a method in which a person can defend themselves. It is an art form that encourages respect, and that the user never abuses the skills they learn in the school. Respect, courtesy, love and protecting yourself and others. There is nothing more christian then that.
+Dominic Havercroft Yeah, ancient masters and developers of Chinese Martial Arts actually never taught such mystical things about Qi (Chi) and in Japanese "Ki", in fact the more accurate translation of “Qi” is “energy in relationships”, so to “cultivate your Qi” is simply to understand the relationships in your body, changing how your body structure works over a long period of practice resulting in bodily changes, chemicals and blood flow. “Qigong” in a nutshell is the study of relationships in the body and mind on a “physiological and neurological” level. Though interestingly, historical studies shows that it does have links to shamanism. It's a lot to do with intent too. If one starts treating these things as if they were magic, they then "become" magic, through misunderstanding and can lead to mental illnesses, in Chinese we call this "Qigong sickness", which as you can imagine, if you make something out to be magic, and start treating it like magic, you essentially become a magic practitioner through your "intent and attitude" to it, and through that, you then attract demonic and satanic spirits, as they will become attracted to you, because you have started to "willingly practice magic", as that's how "you" (the practitioner) is viewing it, and that's where the trouble starts. Some schools do shady things as you say in these areas and do weird and un-natural practises, and this man in the video has unfortunately been victim to those types of people, starting with the misunderstanding of the mistranslation of qi as so many do, which then leads them to seeking out more as it becomes an addiction to "power", which leads to the "real" dark paths and shady martial arts schools that are actually based off of spiritism. Now there certainly "are" magical traditions and forms of spiritism in traditional asian martial arts, stuff to do with the emptying of the mind, shamanism, possession, gods, symbolism and so on. It's knowing what to look out for.
There's nothing consistent about his message, he refuses to acknowledge any benefits of training in the martial arts. The entire video is him saying, "martial art symbolism is not Christian, therefore it is evil" or "martial art abilities give me magic powers (delusions), therefore it is evil." I hate this aspect of Christianity where some Christians are so closed minded to cultures and symbolism which is foreign to their beliefs. Instead, we should embrace these cultures/symbolism and incorporate them into our beliefs. You will find they are very compatible.
Dear brother, It maters not, the "benefits" obtained from practicing these arts . . . . if they cost a man eternal Life ? That is a very high price to pay for a short moments pleasure. Salvation is not simply God saving us from hell . . . The Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth for a much greater purpose than merely that . . . . He came and "took upon Himself fallen human flesh, in order that through His faith, He might conquer all sin in the flesh; and thereby "condemn sin in the flesh." "So that the righteousness of the law of God, that is the law of Deity (the Divine nature) might be filled full in us, Who now walk by His indwelling Spirit, and not after the weak efforts of our flesh . . . !" ref: Romans 8:1-19 "For all of creation (the entire Uni-verse) is waiting for the manifestation of the sons (children begotten) of God !" Romans 8:19 And our Saviour (yours and mine) is saying to us Today . . . . "Why call ye Me Lord (Master, King), Lord, and yet refuse ye to DO those things which I say ?" "depart from Me, ye that continue to work iniquity . . . !" Luke 6:46 and 13:27 And Jesus says, "In vain do they worship Me . . . teaching as doctrine the commandments of men !" Matthew 15:9 The LORD God Almighty loves you and I with a love which passes all understanding, and it is for this reason that He sent His Only-Begotten Son into this dark world . . . to SAVE* (rescue, deliver, heal, restore) and to set us free from that which will eventually destroy every one who is not found in Christ Jesus. For this is the record . . . "that God hath given unto us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son !" and Jesus assures each of us, that "if ye abide in Me (the Word of God), and My Words which are Spirit and they are Life, abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done for you !" I John 5:10-12 and John 15:1-7 and John 6:63 May our LORD and Saviour bless and keep you, may He lead and guide you, and may He reveal to you as never before His high calling upon your life in Christ Jesus ! your friend and brother, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
Dear Eric Wilson, Throwing quotes from the Bible at me does not refute any of my arguments. As a fellow Christian, how can you tell me that an activity that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt has made me a better Christian is wrong? Nowhere, in your video or any of your responses have you refuted this point. As there is no rebuttal I can only assume you are wrong. I'll end this point with a quote from the Bible. "Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle." Psalms 144:1 I would love to debate this topic with you, as I believe I can open your eyes up to the beauty of Martial Arts and it's compatibility with the Judeo-Christian message. Fellow Christian and Martial Arts practitioner, Dominic Havercroft
I truly repented of all my involvement in the Martial Arts, and destroyed everything I had ever earned in the way of: Trophies, Certificates, Belts, Uniforms, Training materials, etc. , you name it... it was all done away with. Consequently, I have never returned to it, and never will! I thank God that you're being used by Him to expose the devil and set the captives free in Jesus name. Keep fighting the good fight! Your brother in Christ, Scott.
Thank you sir for this presentation it was wonderfull, I am a martial artist myself and as a Muslem I don't do the religious side of the martial arts and I explain to people to practice for self defense and exercise only.
Exactly! Only for self defense and nothing else! I even told my son to not call his trainer a “master” coz only the Lord God is the Master! I call him a teacher.
I want to thank you Eric for praying for me. I have receive deliverance from God. Brother Eric I will keep you in my prayers. With love take care and Be safe. Enjoy your day/your weekend too. I like the way God uses you to tell the truth without you holding back. Keep up the great work in the Lord. Amen.
Ok so I've been watching these videos and I'm like ok good points I've never thought about it like that but when you bring martial arts into it and say that is bad I have to bring my foot down I've done martial arts all my life and it has brought nothing but good to my life it have me seething to focus energy on and it has kept me healthy and in shape and I'm from a pretty bad place in Chicago and thanks to my martial arts I've been able to defend myself and everyone that I know that do martial arts are very humble and nice people know tell me how martial arts is the work of satan again please?
Great watch. i myself have been practicing kung fu and muay thai kickboxing for 30 years so it was an eye opener for sure. God is our protector so ill be trusting in the LOrd Thanku God bless

EricWilson7 i was shocked when i saw most of your videos and i do agree with you. but i was so depressed and asked god why did you want you (and a few others) to leave the martial arts. and god told me ,, bicuse they were inmoral". in my kung fu scool, weve practiced rarly something new, spezially other styles. when i tried to pray a prayer for studing to god, bevore the practice, weve finaly began learning a new style. and for two weeks ive been doing the same thing, and ive coud learn finaly more styles. if martial arts is that displeasing, then why woud the lord allaow to me to improve my skill. Once i got intreduced to an internal style caled miqong with an ying and yang shape, and god said in a voice ,,now this is satanic" i do agree that the religous aspects are dangerous and displeasing, but the form and art are not that dangerous. eaven if physical martial arts is spiritualy dangerous, kung fu would be one of the least physikal spiritual dangerous in the form tha. in an okinava or japanese martial arts. mostly bicuse many christians quit. the japanese martial arts but in the kung fu perspective, we get more interested in the art than on piwer or revenge. the lord told me also to practice it with love. i woud try to talk with the lord about my opinion.
Hello. I'm a Christian and have been all my life. I am also a martial artist of 35 years. I hold 5 world martial art records, one is for the fastest punch in the world. I believe that the Lord helps those who try to help themselves to take care of themselves. The Old Testament is full of records of the Lord's angels defeating the enemy and defending the Lord's people by physical means. Angels are much holier beings than I am. If the Lord would have them defend his good people, then why shouldn't I be able to use my skills likewise. Martial Arts can be used for evil, they can also be used for good.
Eric, I watched your video, at the behest of a friend, who has not been raised in the South, or in even the US for the most part. He was very confused by the entire thing. Starting with the systems you trained in, their numbers, and questioned the authenticity of your instruction. Secondly, by the your inaccurate descriptions of many Eastern philosophies. I will not go into the details of your misconceptions. I was raised Southern Baptist. You are secure in your faith, and certainly have no reason to pursue deeper (correct) knowledge of Eastern philosophies. However, with regards to your martial arts career, there are some serious issues. There are thousands of charlatans, and fakes in the US. You seem to have found every one of them in the Tennessee area. Your statements regarding Aikido, Taiqi, and Chi Gung are simply ridiculous, and wildly inaccurate. Your claims of personal ability are just out and out lies. Now, either you know that, or you don't. (I suspect you do, but maybe you have always been in the same trance as the students you taught. Group delusion as it were.) You have not been in a legitimate martial arts study. You have been in an occult group(s). I am sorry for this. It seems you have wasted much effort and time, for naught. The crap about "chi balls" that knock others down from across the room is pure fantasy. I have seen George Dillman "demonstrate" this garbage to fevered believers many times. It is the same trick at hypnotists and faith healers. Please do not damage the reputation of real students of legitimate arts with this nonsense teaching. Surely there are better ways for you to get attention, than to "preach" on things that you know obviously nothing about. I would welcome you to come an train with any legitimate dojo. I can even introduce you to a few in your area.
Why do I feel like you are just trying to protect your craft!? Sorry, but I know a lot of people that practiced martial arts and all agree that at a certain point you have to either stop or get deep into the occult. If you sincerely believe that he is lying, then it means that you haven't reached the higher degrees that he reached. Otherwise then you are the one fooling people around. Even Satanists know and teach martial arts as something coming from their masters and a path to spiritual illumination.
We have to beware of opening doors in anything we do and say. But learning martial arts without spiritual mumbo jumbo for exercise, discipline and self defense doesn't sound wrong.
Eric, your testimony is my testimony, and your story is exactly the path I have taken but I have been miserable since I have quit the martial arts and now after 12 long years away I am going back to the martial arts to now train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muy Thia( I originally trianed in Karate). Nothing has given me focus, work ethic, determination as well as mental and physical health as the martial arts have and I have suffered greatly for leaving them behind. It felt great to take my "Karate Armour" off at first but it lead to misery and frustration as time went one. I started to abuse alcohol, tabacco, fast food, junk food, and pornography without the self control that I once had as a martial artist. I started going back 3 weeks ago and I'm already feeling stronger and minimizing a few of my vices. I loved the martial arts, I found Jesus and quit the martial arts, and now I have to go back to the martial arts lifestyle.
Good morning Wesley, One most important thing, that many often do not realize . . . . it is not simply leaving and "coming out of the martial arts," but the martial arts must be taken out of us. There are evil spirits (fallen angels) that gain access to a person's life, when they continue training in these eastern art forms. And these spirits must be cast out by faith in the mighty name, and the shed blood of our Lord (Sovereign King) and Saviour Jesus Christ ! Please also look up the testimonies of other on our ministry site below. And also look up some of the videos from Vito Rallo on youtube. secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/home/testimonies/ I am lifting you each day in faith and in prayer. The LORD loves you greatly, and our Saviour and King is returning so very soon ! His greatest desire is set every one of His children completely free ! May our Saviour and Mighty God bless and keep you until that day ! your friend and brother in Christ Jesus, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
@@EricWilson7 What are your personal views on practicing Archery and Shooting sports? I did that for 7 of the 12 years that I've been out of the bare handed martial arts until I got an infection in my left arm. Archery is the closest experience to the martial arts without being the martial arts and it kept me out of most the vices that I picked up. Other ex- martial artist in your circle who are struggling with staying away might want to pick up the sport as well. Thank You for your Support Brother and may our God always be with You as well!!
What a weird interpretation of Aikido. The power isn't in your hand, it's in your centre! Why do I get the feeling that if we asked for the lineages of all these teachers we'd find some really interesting things out?
When I was a kid I learned judo karate and Sunday church where we practice amen 🙏 60s 70s 80s prayed to god to quit booze today at 59 years old sober 29 years practice karate 🥋 mind body spirit

When I started watching this I thought you were one of those preachers who hasn't even tried what they were preaching against and just says "THERE'S DEMONS IN IT!!!" But your whole life is a story of why martial arts are wrong. Instead of looking at it for only five seconds and hating on it.
There is a man in my town that's a very good preacher and I believe that he is a man of God. However he is a martial arts grand master. He has a world wide ministry. He is a very good preacher.
Here are 2 very eye-opening videos that reveal the very real spiritual powers working behind the martial arts. I pray that these will be a blessing to you this week ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCg93yOaEzA.html - *The Dragon Revealed ! part.1* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kwEcoyR48T4.html - *Part. 2*
There are Christian martial artist. I am one. I do not believe the arts are evil. I believe God created the first martial art. The star of David only has five sides. Some arts are steeped in Asian religion like Shinto, Buddhism, or Taoism. Most American schools are not. Kenpo is taught from a Christian platform, though is not required to be a Christian to practice. It is taught in English here, not Chinese or Japanese. It is taught in the language of where it is taught. In Guatemala it is taught in Spanish. I am not as advanced as you seem to be, but I have trained in kenpo for over 10 years, and I have taught in two countries. I agree some arts are deeply tied to Asian religions, but not all, and in the U.S.A. I would say not even most.
+DeWayne Gregg Martial Arts aren't evil. People need to stop believing everything and checking what they hear and see at least 3 times. The Bible says it, test the spirit of ALL things. Lucifer can come as a being of light so just because someone said that God told them something doesn't mean that God actually told them something. Don't be a New Ager and just go around believing things without checking like a ding-bat.
DeWayne Gregg i have to agree. my son is 2nd degree black in kenpo. He is taught that the power and glory are Gods and his studio teaches nothing like this. no chi, tao or full contact. it is a self defence only. This man's testimony is powerful and I am glad he shared, but there is yoga and then Pilates, his martial arts and the Kenpo I know. two different things. I will still pray about it though.
Every life in the world has been paid for in full by Christ Jesus upon Calvary. And He is working each and every day through us to share this Glad Tidings with all who are willing to hear. Jehovah knows the heart of every man, woman and child, and He is righteous in all that He does ! Jesus spilled His blood for every child of humanity. And He will do all to rescue and save every one who is willing to receive Life in Him ! Speak to those in your city, while there is yet time for them !
the other day i first stumbled on yoga kundalini then the word chi was mentioned then i saw your presentation. i have been blind to these forms with which you have trained. i have trained in the arts. most people ive met in these kung fu forms have used drugs. when ever i talk to these people they are very defensive to the point of rude. ju jit su people are much the same in my experience. a few years ago i went to a seminar that was invite only. about halfway through this japanese mind set was thrown in called mushin and i belive it to be relation to chi. thank you sir for helping to open my eyes to these devils
Dear John, Praise the LORD for His mercy upon us all, and His love and power to set us free ! I am including a few links below to a more indepth article which reveals more than we were able in the time given in the testimony. It is our prayer that these will be a Blessing as you read them ! www.secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/ and The Dragon Revealed - New Preview Trailer 2 And may the LORD (Jehovah, Yehuwah) Bless and keep you strong in faith, and in the power of His Life-giving Word ! your brother in Christ, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
In Exodus 20:3 God warns "You shall have no other gods before me." I believe that for you Martial arts replaced God in your life. You sought power from it, you worshipped it, it was your everything. Learning martial arts for fighting technique, skill, exercise and self defense will not affect your spiritual life. In fact it can be a type of outreach and ministry to keep people from going into the mystic powers of the occult. Jesus did not disassociate himself from people that were in sin. He sought them out to redeem them from themselves. Even in death he forgave the thief on the cross. Doesn't everyone deserve that chance?
I have watch 2 or 3 of your videos. And after I saw the whole thing was I going to let go of martial arts completely. I have been doing martials arts for over 20 years never got to where you got in it. I love martial arts but I didn't want it to come between me and God. I would go as far to say that I was a martial artist before I was black. So for a whole day I went through heart break because of this. I called my minister friend and I told him what was going on because I trained him in it. And as we where talking, in mid sentence a thought pop up in my mind and that thought was what did he do wrong. what I found out was interesting. what I found out was that you tried to made martial arts take the place of God. A person can do martial arts and still be a christian. Before I watch your video I looked at martial arts as a gift from God to help me through some ruff times in life. I looked at the movements from a scientific standpoint. To the people I loved I taught. and we have a great time. My teachers where my father figures when I had no father and martial arts is one of the things I stuck with that taught a lot of good things. I don't think martial art is this evil thing as long as you don't take it there. otherwise you can take anything there. My believe is that when you make anything more important than how you love people than it is wrong because God is love. In all your videos I watch, you said you made martial arts more important than your family. But for me I believe God can get gory though martial arts. but this is something I may like to discuss with you not to attack you but to get clarity.
You can find the article at Isaiah Ministries wordpress site (the Truth about Martial Arts). There are 6 pages completed thus far, and we are working on the final 7th page now with the film. The film release is scheduled for this december. It is not my purpose to change your mind, but rather to encourage you also to search for the Truth, as I did, after more than 24 years actively practicing these arts ! You will be surprised what you find.
This is easily one of the most warped views of the marital arts that I have ever seen or heard. Sadly this poor understanding of marital arts practice is being presented to guide others (spiritually). When all it actually does is misguide. It appears that Mr. Wilson chose to study the martial arts for the wrong reason in the first place. Maybe some mental health therapy would have better served Mr. Wilson to deal with the absence of his father. This could have been via religious clergy, parent (Mother) or a traditional agency. If Mr. Wilson was so misguided, for so long, throughout his early adult years, this suggests some cognitive limitations. Definitely one who should not be attempting to lead or guide others via martial arts or anything else. However, it is good he now rejects these (martial arts) practices (he seemingly never understood well in the first place), because his message is not as readily available to misguide others....except for those in his church, and other churches. But hell, being misguided by a religious practice is nothing new in history.
I see someone who first got excited about "A". Studied and practiced "A" for so many years and moved to "B". Did the same with "B" and moved to "C". Now that "C" is also old news moved to Christian Religion. How long before the cycle repeats itself ? There is no need to criticize those who do not go along with your way of thinking... And I am a Christian Kung Fu Black Belt proud of being and doing both !!!
This video is very misleading. It portrays martial arts in general in a bad light. Current martial arts covers such a wide array styles & disciplines, and each martial arts school has different goals and aims. Today, the majority of western MA schools train either no contact, or minimal contact, but like all aspects of society you have good and bad people involved within the martial arts. If you want to train for fitness then there's a lot of schools that will concentrate on this. If you want a reality-based self-defence system then there are countless classes for these. And finally, the sporting aspect. Like sports in general, martial arts has a competitive side. A student will get out of their style what they put in. I think all of this connecting all martial arts to religions is nonsense. The Yin-Yang symbol is used as an analogy; good/bad, strong/weak, hard/soft, fast/slow, big circle/small circle, etc. You can use opposites (yin-yang) for a lot of martial arts situations. For the length of time that the author has spent doing martial arts, i truly believe that he has totally misrepresented martial arts. Whether he has been attending 'bad' schools, or what, he has painted an incorrect picture of MA, in my eyes. 20+ years myself in martial arts and i have only had positive experiences, and i am also proud to be an instructor myself.
Please watch more of Eric Wilson's series; and I will pray the Lord will open your eyes. THEY ARE NOT JUST EXERCISE! PLEASE ASK GOD TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND GUIDE YOU. GOD PROTECT AND GUIDE YOU MY FRIEND.
+Vicki B I have done martial arts for over 30 years. How long have you studied them? Also, are you trying to tell me that a punch and a kicks are all martial arts? I think not. Sorry for being rude but this is what's called 'blind following. Do your own research. Kickboxing, for example, is a pure sport, yet it is deemed a martial art. Pankraition wrestling is the same, which is a Greek creation of self-defence/sport. Please don't just blindly follow. Lots of martial arts have lengthy histories and traditions, and lots (freestyle) don't.
Hi DW01! I will pray for your eyes to be opened so that the Lord will help you to see the real dangers in participating in the Martial Arts. I myself have had demonic attacks so I do hope and pray that you won't have to go through that but it just may open your eyes. Prayers for you. This has only been said in love. VB
I have studied the arts since I was 2 years old, I have read the tao te ching, i have read the bible, I have accepted christ into my life. that said, I feel i'm qualified to debate you sir. You are correct in that taoism teaches of contrast being the defining factor of life, but the actual meaning of the Tao Te Ching is to have an absence of self desire and to value all things as they are all necessary parts of existence, as well as promoting the idea of inner balance. The idea of the needing to be a contrast is not so foreign to christianity. if you look at all the pivotal moments in the bible, the most vital that set the world into motion, all those moments are encapsulated within a choice, from Adam and Eve, to christ on the eve of his crucifixion begging God to let him run. looking at it that way, one of the things that god meant when he said that we are created in his image is that we have freedom of choice, he allows us the freedom to choose whether we follow him or not. You said that it is abhorrent to think that we cannot have god without the devil, but how about instead we say that you cannot have choice without the options that give the choice any meaning? By God allowing the existence of satan, he in fact has given us the most precious of gifts, Freedom. Do you truly believe that God, if he truly is all powerful and knowing, would not prevent the appearance of such an abomination as Lucifer? If it was simply a matter of protecting his creation, he would have never allowed him to exist, but he did, and by doing so gave us the ability to choose and in having that ability, we have learned how to truly love him. Taoism is not wrong, it is simply wisdom that predates the bible but says something that preaches of the true, unfathomable wisdom of god. Martial arts is about peace and protection, it always has been. its about giving someone the tools to fight, so that they can end a fight quickly before excessive damage is done. I was (and am) like you were when you said you felt incomplete when you went to church, like there was no "power" there. For me it took me a while to understand that church was not about /us/ going to be with god, it was about us showing respect to him. The thought of having to go somewhere to /be/ with god is silly, he inhabits you. The truth is that god has given you gifts, tools to use to spread his word and his presence to others, and when you discover them you feel him working through you. You stated that you excelled through the ranks of martial arts, but then you felt that there were many problems with the diverse dojo's that you attended, from their signs to the way they taught to the continuity of your first dojo teaching people that the only way to excel is to conquer your rivals. you then saw that your life was leading you away from god and down a dark path. but you have the gift, you know more about martial arts than most, and martial arts is heading down a dark path now, with so many schools taking the idea of peace and protection out of their systems and still teaching the ways of war with nothing to temper it. I swear if you haven't seen this before now you are not nearly as wise as your video has made you out to be. God gave you a gift, use it, teach people how to protect their families and them selves from harm while also instilling the ideals of peace and turning the other cheek, teach them who God is THROUGH martial arts, not by damning the entirety of the arts because of what you've seen. God gave you a gift, use it. Choose to take the darkness and shine light into it, choose to take the gift that God gave to you and use it for his glory, show the world that a martial artist with god behind him is a force to be reckoned with. Just Choose.
Good morning Adam, The pagan religions of the east all found their teachings on a single common belief . . . "that without darkness, you cannot have light." And this very statement finds it's source in the philosophies of the fallen one, Satan. For the Word of God assures each of us, that "God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all . . . neither shadow of turning !" I John 1:5 & James 1:17darkness is not a "literal thing," it is only the absence of Light. As is coldness, it does not have a "substance," it is only the absence of heat. God did not create the Devil . . . for according to the Word of God, Satan was created as the highest of the LORD's angels, a covering cherub (one who stood on the right or left hand of Jehovah's throne). The Scriptures tell us he was "full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty . . . until iniquity was found in him" Ezekiel 28:12-19 & Isaiah 14:4-16 And the Scriptures assure us that in the earth made new, "there shall be no night there; and they shall need no candle, neither light of the sun . . . for the LORD God (Jehovah, Yehuwah Elohim) giveth them Light: and they shall reign for ever and ever !" Revelation 22:1-21 And yes, God has given to every man the freedom of choice. And this same freedom He also gave to Lucifer, before he fell and became Satan (the accuser). And the choice then is the same today . . . Do we choose to believe God's Word, the Word that spoke the universe (single - verse) into existence, or do we choose to believe the Devil, whom our Savioiur assures us, is a liar. "He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth (John 17:17), because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh, he lies, for he speaketh of his own (ref: John 14:10-11) . . . for he is a liar, and the father (source, origin) of all lies !" John 8:43-44 And Today, the LORD is asking each of us that same request, saying . . . "Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve?" Joshua 24:15 & I Kings 18:21 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield (surrender your will) yourselves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16-23 And "Behold, I set before you this day a Blessing and a curse . . . . A Blessing (Galatians 3:14) if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day. And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God . . . but turn aside out of the way (path of righteousness) which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known !" Deuteronomy 11:26-28 "Blessed are the undefiled in the way (path of righteousness), who walk [by faith] in the Law of the LORD . . . !" Psalm 119:1-11 "For Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path !" Psalm 119:105 "And the dragon (Satan, the Devil) was wroth with the woman (Zion - God's children), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed . . . which keep the Commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus !" Revelation 12:17 & 14:12And you are absolutely right, as Christians it is our greatest desire to "show respect to Him." For God's Word tells us this very thing . . . "Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all Thy Commandments !" Psalm 119:6 And Jesus warns each of us . . . "And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord (Master), and yet do not the things which I say ?"I know from my years of training in the martial arts, there is no sifu or sensie who will train you for long, if you refuse to follow the instructions and commands he gives you. So how much more should we yield implicit honour and obedience to the God of heaven and earth ? "Enter ye in at the strait (narrow, strict) gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat . . . . Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth to Life, and few there be that find it ! For not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but rather, he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. For many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you (you are not Mine, for you would not surrender your will to Me) . . . Depart from Me, ye that work iniquity . . . !" Matthew 7:13-27 "For not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law shall be justified (declared innocent, holy and righteous) !" Romans 2:13 "Wherefore, lay aside all filthiness and abundance of naughtiness (wickedness), and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls (John 15:1-7) . . . And be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves . . . ! "For whoso looketh into the perfect Law of liberty (freedom from sin), and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed . . . !" James 1:20-25 And the LORD God tells us clearly, that "no man can serve two masters." "For how can two walk together, except they be agreed ?" Matthew 6:24 & Amos 3:3 "For what fellowship hath righteousness and unrighteousness? and what communion hath Light with darkness? . . . And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the Living God; just as God hath said . . . I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people !" II Corinthians 6:14-16 But God does not dwell in those who profess not God, nor in those who refuse to follow Him and His instructions in righteousness. ref: John 14:15-21 And hereby we do know that we know Him . . . if we keep His Commandments. For he that saith, I know him, and yet keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and the Truth (My Word) is not in him !. . . . For he that saith he abideth in Him (Christ Jesus) ought himself also so to walk (and live), even as He walked !" I John 2:3-6"Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters (children begotten of God - James 1:18 & I Peter 1:22-25), saith the LORD almighty !"II Corinthians 6:17-18 & 7:1 and ref: Revelation 18:1-8May the LORD bless and keep you my friend, and may He lead you in paths of righteousness, and the Light of His Truth !your brother in Christ Jesus,Eric Wilson and family - Isaiah Ministriesisaiahministries.wordpress.com/secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/
Hi brother Eric, thank you for your testimony... I learnt taekwondo during my secondary school's days but stopped after I got my second lowest belt & karate in my early 20s but stopped after I got punched on the nose. I went to a healing ministry here in my country & eventually became their volunteer at 1 time. During renunciation prayer I was asked whether I practised martial arts before & I told my pastor that I did. He asked me to pray for repentence & follwed by renunciation prayer too. From your video here, I got to know precisely & specifically the danger of practising martial art! I am glad that I watched this video of yours. What is the next video I should watch to know more of what you have shared?
I, a Catholic, am proud of my education in martial arts. Keyword: education. Just like Buddhism, anyone of any creed can practice it and see God in it. This notion that Martial Arts is evil is hilarious.
XIN-JUE HILARIOUS? JUST WAIT one day YOU WILL meet jesus christ face to face and you will realise truth too late then. you won;t be laughing then!!! Read your bible without mocking. God is a person, wants a relationship, but cannot will not while you are mocking and scoffing. He dreads thought of you wasting Jesus time and horrific suffering in vain for you. because without Jesus, we all face hell. read Luke 16:19-31 I dare you!! put yourself in that true account.
Hard blocks are not a product of some mystic chi nonsense. It is proper conditioning. and small microfractures in the bone over time that heal back harder. Science

For I will have mercy, and not sacrifice. For I Am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Matthew 9:12-13 ref: Hosea 6:6 "And there is none righteous, no not even one . . . !" Romans 3:9-10 "Or despises thou the riches (abundance) of His goodness and forbearance, and longsuffering; not knowing that it is the goodness of God that leadeth thee to repentance?" Romans 2:4 Note: It is this "goodness" and glory of God which Moses was permitted to see in Exodus 33-34
the circle with a dot does not mean the yin yang, in really old chinese, it sort of resembles the word sun, or day, but in chinese its a circle with a horizontal line in the middle, and yields no religious or philosophical significance whatsoever. in egyptian mythology, the circle with dot symbolize the sun, or ra, the sun god. in alchemy it symbolize gold and the sun. in astronomy it also symbolize the sun. in many cases it is used to symbolize the sun, but only the sun god in egyptian
This man is nuttier than an outhouse rat. I have spent a life in Olympic Taekwondo beginning in 1975 and after 25 years made it to 5th degree black belt. While it's possible that any individual person in martial arts could be "Satanic," there is absolutely nothing intrinsically "evil" about training. It's good for your mental and physical health. End of story.
As a Christian and as an instructor coach for The Christian Karate Association, having been involved in The New Age and Occultism before I began seeking God I can only feel sorry for you that found yourself in such a mess and someone misusing martial arts as a tool to trapping people in the occult. But it was the occult powers and, I mean this with the greatest respect, your desire to have power that lead you in that direction. It was not the physical actions or the systematic self-defence system that was at fault but the worldview, the philosophies and the spiritual abuses of the teachers. I am glad you came back to the Lord and perhaps you personally leaving martial arts behind, considering your motives for taking them up in the first place. I can say absolutely that your testimony is certainly an good example or why people need to find themselves a school with a humble and sincere teacher, rather than one who is intent on teaching people to punching the stuffing out of people. That is not the martial arts I have been involved in for many years. Sorry you had a bad experience.
Good evening brother Phil. Thank you for your comment and for your kindness in the way you have replied. I also will encourage you to take a closer look, with much prayer, at the testimonies of many others who have experienced the power and influences of the forces of darkness within these arts. secretdangersofmartialarts.wordpress.com/ - Secret Dangers of Martial Arts ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCg93yOaEzA.html - The Dragon Revealed ! part.1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZhEdYPeK2oU.html - part.2 I know from personal experience, the struggle it may be to "let go" of something we have believed was good for so long. But this is a battle which every man must fight alone with God and His open Word. May our Saviour and Mighty God bless and keep you and your family as you seek the TRUTH . . . as it can be found only in Him ! your friend and brother in Christ Jesus, Eric Wilson and family
Drugs damaged my brain for life.Raised in a poor and fatherless environnement, I tell you with no hesitation that I would prefer get the same disease doing a sport and trying to live healthy life, brave, accepting risks but with respect value and peace wishes.I m 33.I don't know what the future is to me, regarding my brain condition, but doing martial arts it is what helps me to stay away from depression and suicide wishes.I feel really happy, even I have no money, no wife...now Im drug free and respected! Im well known to be very smart, polite and devoted to people, fighting to make a better world and put the devil far away!! And I still can't understand what is the problem with martial arts...If your a real martial artist, you never beat anyone outside the rules.And inside the rules, we are all volontaries...If I could go back, and get the same disease, I would get it in martial arts competitions, podiums, helping the kids aside...but nope, I got it injecting devil in my veins!check this out!
I'm glad that you got you were able overcome your addiction. I believe that we can practice martial arts and christianity. they're good for us. God bless you.
If Bruce lee went through spiritual crisis what does that tell you? My friend was attacked by evil spirits he trains in Bruce lees jeet kune do style lee was also an athiest
Emma Frost so Emma ! If I were too fight a black belt 🥋 martial arts fighter ok I would not stand a chance!! Which means that they have force and power over me ! Which if you really think about is EVIL 😨😰😰 even though I would NOT FIGHT THEM - just saying
The power of the church and power of martial arts are completely different. Not all martial arts are from Chinese kung fu despite what Sifu David says!
Dear brother in Christ, That which is most imortant question to ask is, If Christ were coming tomorrow, what do I want to be found occupying my time? Does He have a greater need of my life, than that in which I am currently involved? We have included a link in the information box above, to a full 6page article which reveals in detail any questions you may have. And I am more than willing to answer by email if you write us personally. your brother, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
sir you haven't really exposed much here, you basically made it clear that your way of thinking was wrong, not martial arts. you only exposed your own erronius mindset nothing more
Really good example of what a bad martial Arts school does can't see the relation between martial Arts and religion and to even imply that martial Arts is evil is just making up stuff for a good story. I'm a judo player of 46 years and I've never heard such silliness in my life.
You basically joined a cult. My late father was a lay pastor and a martial artist. I learnt much from him, including discernment. I am sorry you weren't taught that. You can learn how to fight. You do not have to become a psycho. There is much that is good in the martial arts. Just as there is much that is good in dancing, music etc., how far you take it and where you draw energy from varies significantly. My father prayed for many people's healing, and at the end the rebound of hate and evil that affected the people he prayed for started to affect him, I don't really care if you believe me or not btw, but it led to his eventual demise. (Curses are still a huge part of Hindu/Indian culture, and they are skilfully applied to people to destroy them) I pray every day for the gifts physical, mental, spiritual, that our Lord and saviour has bestowed or will bestow on me. The energy that flows through us is also a gift from him, you can allow that energy to be contaminated or you can use the meditation to be at peace with yourself, commune with God, again it's your choice. My only point is that it isn't the martial arts that are at fault. It draws on eastern mysticism in many cases but not all cases, you basically fell off the deep end. I have met good fighters that definitely have been touched by Our Lord Jesus, and I have met their complete opposites, which is the company you fell into. The Lord has guided me every second of my life, literally prodded me into the right direction. God be with you.
Thus saith the LORD . . . . "Learn not the ways of the heathen" . . . "when thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God (lohim - Mighty One) giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations . . . There shall not be found among you . . . one that useth divination, or an observer of times* (astrology), or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer (hypnotist), or . . . a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer . . . . For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee . . . !" Jeremiah 10:1-2 and Deuteronomy 18:9-14 and Ezekiel 20:7-8 and II Chronicles 28:1-3 and 33:2 "For ye are the temple of the Living God . . . and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols ? As God hath said . . . I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God (Mighty One), and they shall be My people. Wherefore, come out from among them (Revelation 18:1-4), and be separate . . . Be ye holy, for I Am Holy ! . . . saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters (begotten by the Word of Truth - I Peter 1:22-25 and James 1:18-20), saith the LORD Almighty.; Having therefore these promises (II Peter 1:4), dearly beloved . . . . Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (mind), yea, perfecting holiness in the fear of God . . . without which no man shall see the LORD !" II Corinthians 6:14 thru 7:1 and Hebrews 12:10-14 May our Lord (Sovereign King) and Saviour Jesus Christ, both bless and keep you by His unfailing power alone ! your friend and brother, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCg93yOaEzA.html
You're right, all of what you stated are abominations, doesn't mean they aren't present, praying for people to the Lord Jesus for healing is perfectly acceptable last I checked. My late father prayed to the Lord, the rebound is terrible when praying for someone attacked by demons, because it hits the person who prays (the idea of weakest link) ...India has millennia old traditions of tantricism. Now coming to the martial arts, have you heard of Savate? Boxing? Fencing (historical)? Last I checked these weren't the arts of the heathen. Fencing has a point and circle symbol, and that means the only two types of attack and defense are straight and curved. And btw weren't Saul, David trained in combat? Or did they sin? Does a soldier sin in learning how to fight and defend himself? Nowhere in Savate, Kyokushin, Aiki jujitsu, Wing Chun has anyone told me to become any animal. Even the harnessing of chi was explained biomechanically via kinetic linkage. I feel you're tarring the martial arts with a single one size fits all brush because of your horrible experiences. I'm not saying that there aren't people who try to harness everything from animal spirits to ancestral protection from long dead relatives, there are. You are right about the dangers. And whenever I think of the martial arts I think of Psalm 144.
i was watching martial arts in this youtube and this displayed in the thumbnail, i clicked it because of curiusity but before that i watched the other thumbnails and when i was streaming this video i never got interested first but deep within someone told me to keep watching and my obsession for martial arts are against it but i keep goin on and it kind of relates to my situation were i am put between obeying christ and at the same time having the pleasure of my body of doing kung fu and thank God this video exist and God made this guy as the person that is already been there and God saved him...
Dear Volikoto, Please feel free to contact me if you would like more detailed information on the dangers behind eastern mysticism and the martial arts. I have included a link to our indepth article in the drop down box below the testimony video. And you may write to me from there. secretdangersofmartialarts (dot) wordpress (dot) com/ May the LORD bless you, and cause you to know His great love and power to set every captive free ! your brother in Christ Jesus, Eric Wilson - Isaiah Ministries
In the world of martial arts, as well as much of our modern culture, there is a belief promoted which says, "there are no absolutes . . . !" This teaching has influenced the last few generations to believe that the Holy Bible is only a series of suggestions, rather than the inerrant Word of the Living God ! Almost every principle taught in the martial arts, stands in complete contradiction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the clear instructions of the Word of God. I thank you for your question, and offer you this link to help in the search for Truth. There are many questions which we were unable to address in the testimony, that are answered in depth here - secretdangersofmartialarts (dot) wordpress (dot) com/ May the LORD bless and keep you! Sincerely, Eric Wilson
That is so true what you are teaching my brother,I listens to a minister name g.Craig Lewis and he warns the church about these same powers,thanks for the information
Most authentic traditional martial art s school are not like that. They embrace humility and character development and respect to each other and superiors. If schools are selected which promote what you describe then it’s your fault.
