We shall post many Bible verses and scriptures here regarding honor, self-defense, and ones supporting our views on fighting
and what Christ says of these topics soon. Please bear with us as we are short on free time and cannot always update
as often as we like.
This is very important. Every fighter should know this and respect it, for this is the biggest loss
that has ever been made. It is a loss to save. If you are a fighter then you know that you have to make a sacrifice.
No matter what happens to you, there will never be a time that you will have to do what HE has done. Good luck to you all;
I had to put this up cause it is the most important thing to remember. God loved us so much that he gave us His only son,
to save us. So, if it comes down to it, give someone a chance and have mercy on your opponent. Don't go out for a kill if
you don't have to. If you have to fight, don't take it to far. Knock your opponent down, and then let it go. God speed to
all. ~Eiji~
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life." NKJV John 3:16

Often times, in the modern age, the freedoms we are given are abused. Freedom for all has been twisted into "freedom
to do evil." It is not against the law to bully someone. Because of this, sometimes we may have to defend ourselves against
people that wish to harm us.
If someone is putting their hands on you and pushing or shoving you and talking in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable,
tell them to stop. Warn them repeatedly. Tell them verbally, "I don't like what you are doing. If you're upset, can we talk
this out? What's bothering you and why are you so angry?" Don't just immediately go looking for a fight; if you can,
try to avoid this, because you can't beat everyone. If you automatically engage in a fight and then lose to a superior person
you will be laughed at.
If the person keeps pinning you against a wall or whatnot, do what you must. Defend yourself! There's nothing wrong with
roughing up someone to gain your respect and honor that every human being is entitled to.
Often times at schools teachers and authoritive figures of the law discourage self-defense. Then if someone is getting
punched, they expect you to sit back, not fight back, and get placed in the hospital. Not only that, even the innocent person
that is assaulted may wrongly be jailed by an ignorant teacher!
Many of our law makers and authoritive figures come from rich, wealthy, but naive families that have grown up in sophistication
and wealth, never having to put up with or deal with thugs, gang members, or any of the people that plague the innocent lives
in the world's society today. So they therefore think self-defense is wrong and even make it to where you cannot defend yourself.
This also causes people in the church and our authoritive figures to judge someone as 'evil' just because they have tattoos,
wear certain types of clothing or listen to certain types of music. They have no right to judge and they are the types of
people scaring people and offending others that are non-Christians, preventing them from going to Christ for help.
Many of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters are very wrong for judging for they too have sinned. "For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God," as stated in the book of Romans. Christ has also said, "Let he who has not sinned cast the
first stone," when people were attempting to stone a prostitute.
Humans are innately evil. We lie, we steal, we pretend to be someone's friend only to lie about them behind their back.
But what makes Christian people different is that they fight their own human sin nature. And God loves us despite that fact
that we are innately evil; He realises that we struggle in this hustle-and-bustle modern world that we have created.
The Lord often commanded the Israelites to go to war throughout the Old Testament. The Bible also states, "There's a
time for peace and a time for war." It is not a sin to fight to defend yourself, your family, or your loved ones if they are
about to be brutalised or killed by a vicious attacker.
Realise also you're not always going to win every single fight. You're going to lose some because there's always someone
bigger and stronger. There's even times a weaker fighter can win just because they are faster, or just because they got lucky
and hit you with a punch at just the right moment and you weren't able to dodge or block it.
Don't give up if you lose a fight. Keep weightlifting and practice sparring. There's some people you'll never be able
to beat and others that you can. This is the brutal and vicious world that we live in, and you have to be strong to survive.
God can grant us that strength with hard work, a proper diet, and proper training.

For each statement I make, I shall provide a verse in the Bible supporting it. If you have any argument
against the points I make, feel free to debate them by email. I believe with all my heart that if God created us, He certainly
does not wish for us to let someone kill us. So if someone attempts to kill you or a loved one, then you should stop them.
If your loved one is killed, I believe also in avenging them.
"From each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. Whoever sheds the blood
of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man" (Gen 9:5-6)
The site below has a good list of arguments supporting my beliefs and I'd like you all to read it. I've
used this site as a reference, and in one instance, it briefly described even in the 10 Commandments, the actual Hebrew word
in the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is actually "Thou shalt not murder."
Ex 21:12-14 specifically says that anyone with the intention of murdering someone shall be killed. Ex 22:2-3
justifies the defense of one's property at home also.
"And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the
LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight." -(Joshua 23:10 KJV)
A great Biblical passage below mentions fighting and even working out; "bringing the body under
subjection." The body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. God wants us to take care of and have a healthy body. BODY, mind and
spirit means body also.
"To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save
some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. Know ye not that they which run in a
race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate
in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly;
so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." (1 Corinthians 9: 22-27)
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed
a good profession before many witnesses." (1 Timothy 6:12 KJV)
Life is not easy, and in some fights we have to have faith in the ability God has given to us. Another great
example of God approving of self-defense is the story of Samson. His legendary strength was given to him by God and though
he did much evil, he redeemed himself by asking God to grant him strength one last time; and in a glorious manner, praised
God by sacrificing himself to kill God's enemies:
"And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen
me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson took
hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and
of the other with his left. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and
the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more
than they which he slew in his life. Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought
him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years."
(Judges 16: 28-31 KJV)
The story of Samson is probably the most brilliant example of self-defense and God's approval of Christians
being fighters. God granted Samson the physical strength he needed to crush the pillars even with his hair shaven and being
forced to the wills of his enemies in their sadistic tortures.
More to come soon.
