So recently I’ve watched bunch of martial arts videos on YT and it got me wondering if I should start training something. However there is more to martial arts than just the exercise part: most of it is rooted in eastern religions like buddhism. This specific article covers the problems with karate fron christian perspective, I’d like to hear if anyone here has tried martial arts and what’s your experience with it. Were there any religious parts like meditation?

    I would like to learn basic self defence against drunk finns xD, BTW taekwondo and judo are also fine since they don’t have any religous parts in them.

      Just throw a 6 pack of karhu into the bushes and leave while they’re distracted.
