mixing religion & MA

[jarrod]

there was another thread that touched on some instructors' desire to incorporate the christian faith in their school. that is all well & good so long as it is done up front. but i got thinking about all the marketing opportunities that other religions are missing out on. below are a few ideas:

valhalla MMA: a place for odinists & heathens to learn how to subdue their enemies should their axe break from dealing one too many a mighty blow.

mohammed's house of judo & jujitsu: seperate classes for men & women. special gi's with attached face covers for the ladies.

school of punjabi-stabby: knife fighting for sikhs. self-explanatory.

authentic krav maga: offering this art is a real mitzvah but, oy, why so expensive?

we'll just start a running club for buddhists, since they're pacifists.

the above was all in fun, hope nobody's upset

I was tempted to post about Shaolin or SHorinji kenpo, but, since it's all in fun,: The Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei

Seems as though there's nothing new under the sun........:lfao:

Well, which one?

I mean, they're all already here-you should talk to them about marketing.....

.....though the Sikhs might do well if they replaced the kirpan with a holy .45-people would be lining up! :lol:

(Maybe that's an idea-start a new religion-with martial arts, and guns....)

Market the Beserker MA group heavily in AV clubs, LARP communities, D&D meetings, and Metallica concerts?
