The British Association for Christians in Martial Arts

Mission to initiate, organise and run a Christian association within the field of martial arts.

I believe that God has given me a vision to establish and run an association for Christians who practice martial arts. There are several negative misconceptions about martial arts that are held, mainly by people who have only a second hand experience of it. It is not my intention to promote all martial arts and practice as acceptable in God’s eyes, but to try and give an overview of the practices within this, often over spiritualised field, potentially unsafe areas which may need addressing. It is then up to the individual to take these matters to God and seek His decision on it, bearing in mind that what He may allow one person to do, He may not allow for another. Romans 14:13-18.

Objective: A three core objective will exist

1) Evangelism

To effectively spread the Gospel of the good news of Jesus Christ, that salvation is attained through Him only.

JOHN 3:16, ROMANS 3:23-24, 10:9

2) Fellowship

To allow the members of the association to have fellowship in order that they may edify and encourage each other. To pray, praise and worship God communally.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:11.

3) Education

Internally:

To educate the members of the association of truth of the Holy Bible. 2 TIMOTHY 3:16.

To understand and put into practice the fruit of the Spirit at all times, especially during training. Galatians 5:22

Externally:

To be able to give general information to interested parties as to the practice of martial arts.

To help interested parties to understand/differentiate the difference between the physical, mental and spiritual sides of martial arts.
