Page 63 - Martial Arts

Peter Lewis says in his book that the

origin of the martial arts is out of the

Shaolin Temple that is in China. He said all

of it originated right there. And I know

some will argue that there are different

variations and whatever, but the point is,

martial arts did not start in the church of

Jesus Christ. I realize somebody will come

along and say, "Well, our group doesn't do

this," but many of them are centered

around meditation before and after the

practice. Some of them use yoga breathing

techniques seeking inner energy and

power. Much emphasis is placed upon the

body and the mind and, in many cases, even

the spirit.
