A revision of the Self Defense Agency Establishment Law that will upgrade the agency to ministry status is set to pass the lower house in 2 days and become law in this Diet session. The new entity will be known as “Self Defense Ministry.”
I just hope this isn’t what they have in mind:
The Christian Martial Arts Association is an association of certified Christian martial artists world wide, who have united and become a part of our Lords great commission [ Mat.28: 19-20 ]. To teach certified top quality martial arts of all styles in a christian atmosphere. Allowing each instructor to open or operate a certified top quality martial arts school by the United States only Certified, Registerd Christian Martial Arts Association that will not go against the convictions of their relationship with Christ. Neither to be controlled or bound by a political or governing secular body, but who desires to stay true to the values of the Christian Martial Arts Association. To break down the walls between denominations and styles of born again believers in Christ. If we are truly believers in Christ then there should be no discord between us, but we should be in one accord as Paul wrote in Phil. 2: 2; Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
I am a member of CMA with a couple schools only a couple hours from Chicago. I’m thankful to the association. Martial Arts ministry has helped me inspire young people to turn self confidence into Christian faith and self discipline into Christian discipleship. Going on 25 years in ministry. Checkout Breakout Christian Self Defense on Facebook. Maybe your church could benefit from running your own program. Let us partner with you to get you going.
