![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | it's not a religion. However some religions have some aspects of martial arts. Some martial arts have some religious aspects as well. For many it is a sport. Others it is a philosophy others and endevour It's what you want it to be. Oh and holyman is a bit of a different type character.

| Registered User | haha, yea, no offence holy man or anything, if your reading this...... anyways, i prefer kung fu to be a way to hurt people (to put it as bluntly and in its most basic manifestation possible) and nothing more. all that philosophical stuff is just weird. |

![]() | If Holy Man said that the ultimate goal in gung fu is to become a god....well, Holy Man sounds like an ass. Now if Holy Man said the ultimate goal is "self perfection," then I could agree with that. For me, it's just for health, self defense, and self refinement. |

![]() | Kung Fu is a lifestyle which some people incorporate religion into. Many more people do not put any religion into their Kung Fu.

![]() | So, let it rock Let it roll Let the Bible-belt come and save my soul No, you won't go to Hell because you practice kung fu. You will go to Hell if you don't trust Jesus Christ for your salvation. I practice the martial arts for reasons of fitness, self-defense, and because it is my favorite sport. I don't do well at team sports (i.e. basketball, football, etc.) and have no passion for them, but I love muay thai. Now, while practicing kung fu won't put you in Hell, it might put you in the hospital should you rely on it in a real street fight. But, that's just my opinion -- a belief that certain arts are more practical to use than others. |
