I want to say something witty and clever here (dozens of things are popping into my head), but I don't want to offend anyone who might be offended at random witty remarks. I will say that I don't personally believe it is the power of the devil breaking all those boards and bricks, and leave it at that. OK, I'll also say that some people are very silly. That's it. Really. Really silly.

You see this is what happens when you're entire experience with martial arts is from Naruto and dragonball Z
Ummmm Systema teaches breathing exercises and they are pretty much Russian Orthodox......
Also from what I gather, since I have trained pretty much internal CMA styles for the last 13 years and still train Taiji as well as Qigong.... oooo and I just went a read a few Taoist books last week too.... I may just be the devil.... I am certainly at least evil.

Without going to the site to investigate, I will say that you are prolly delving into eatern philosophy and that isn't a problem; however, a pastor that points this out is not screaming from the dark ages. They are just people that want you to stop and think before you or your children up and become Buddhists or something.

I personally am a person that is not Christian, i follow the American Indian Beliefs. I be a heathen, so by the belief that Christians have i am Evil, but i just could care less what they think of me. It always seems to me that Christian are the one's going to hell just my personal opinion but they are the one's always preaching how to control minds using churches that have all the magic practices involved in there design. They seem to have been the force behind the American Indian being killed/genocide preformed on the American Indians. This just shows that the Christian do not want to join in life they want to control how you think an what you think about life or any way that is logical is bad mind set.
P.S. You don't have to believe in QI for it to work it is not a belief system. Each person tries to develop a method to feel it so they can be more healthy. The person trying to feel it is becoming more aware of the body as a whole an increasing there own ability to heal physically by being more aware of there body.

Oh my, oh my, oh my. Isn't the closed mind a wonderful thing. I wonder how he feels about boxing. It involves breathing and rhythm too. And what about dancing, breathing and rhythm again. Oh wait, dancing is already considered a device of the devil.
Well I practice an internal art so I am a major occult player. I may as well go out and buy a goat.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. :soapbox:
I couldn't force myself to read the whole thing; been there, done that, got the scars.
Would, tho, like to reassure Nobody that 'Christian' is a rather large term, maybe too large to fit into the pigeon hole his post circumscribes.
The terms 'they' and 'them' cut a pretty wide swath (yeah, language purists, I switched metaphors, so sue me
). And 'Christian' is a pretty broad rubric, including all manner of people, beliefs and practices, so fairly hard to declare what all of them believe/have done. We may be better served by not committing the same foul as one of 'them' in condemning a whole group, as 'they' do of martial artists in this article. 
JMHO. :asian:

I appreciate what you are saying; however, its a tad naive to believe that their isn't a whole new belief system attached to the simple concept of Chi.

Ok, I read through the article. My style ends in "Po"; so, I'm safe.:ultracool I will say I agree with a lot of it but I don't agree with most of it. I agree that advertising lethal techs and eye gouges is not the way to go. We call it muscling through. You should teach things that require the least effort to get the job done. I don't agree that every tech should be taught to a newbie upon asking; because, the instructor bears a responsibility not to send his students out to get themselves killed or bring harm on others.
