thank you krys, i forgot about this thread and i wanted to reply to lionleo.
the post was a mean one, and very wrong.
muslim martial arts, referring to the martial arts as practice by muslims, which uses a different philosophy than the same arts practiced by non-muslims. in the martial arts as practiced by a muslim, we treat the art as a true self defense tool, and we are not afraid to kill somebody or talk about killing somebody. muslims are also very disciplined people who are use to suffering and have it in our everyday life. in training for martial arts combat, we are more serious about training hard, protecting family and consider the practice of fighting arts to be the RESPONSIBILITY of the muslim man, especialy one who has a wife and children. muslims think about there religion at least 5 times a day, unlike many who only think about there religion once a week. for the muslim man who took the martial arts as part of his life, the martial arts practice is a part of practicing the religion, since we have a responsibility to protect our family and community. the death of a family member because a man did not prepare for protection, the blame rests on him as well as the attacker.
"the best fighting arts teachers there are not muslims..again they are not muslims"
wrong again. theres very few muslim teachers teaching in the open, especially for business like i am, but this is a statement you cannot prove. if we are talking about business, then maybe your right. if we are talking about fighting ability, that is something you will have to prove if you want to say it. nobody in my city would say that. and if we are talking about who is well known, well than, you are right, unless it depends to who you are asking who is a best fighting arts teacher.
as far as filipino muslims being "total muslims" i hate to even answer this question. what is a total muslim? like what is a total christian, because no catholic is a total christian according to your example. how many christians eat shellfish and pork, how many men confess his sins to another man or how many men can quote verses or discuss the bible. i am a born muslim, but i can discuss the bible better than most christian people. does this mean they are not real christians? how many christian fast for the period of the prophets, or can even name 10 prophets! i believe this was a post by a person who does not like muslims, so i have no more to say about that.
but if you learn martial arts from a muslim, who learned from a muslim, the chances are, you will get a very combative art, more combative than the commercialized seminar crap thats so popular, even taught by many FILIPINOS.
speaking of religious knowledge,
believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. and speak not of what you did not witness with your own eyes.
was that a christian saying, or muslim?
