Kung Fu and God

Apparently we have two Christian self defense programs in Seminole Heights. I blogged about the new Karate place on Nebraska and now read in the Creative an article:

My god has kung-fu grip - Finding Jesus and confidence at Grace Martial Arts' weekly self-defense classes

"Ten-year-old T.J. Coloosey stands just over 4 feet tall, but when 58-year-old Mark McGee grabs his shoulder, T.J. isn't worried. After all, he has God on his side.

The small boy twists his torso and, using an open palm, slaps McGee's arm at the elbow and off of his shoulder. McGee grabs T.J. again, this time harder, and when the boy's first strike doesn't break the older man's grip, T.J. twists his body and delivers another open-palm strike, but this time to McGee's torso. The grip is broken.

T.J. isn't in any real danger; he is just practicing a basic karate move with his teacher at Grace Martial Arts, a weekly Christian self-defense class inside Seminole Heights Baptist Church. It may seem like an unlikely place to teach children to punch, kick and jab, but for the last two years, the church's reception hall has become a de facto dojo for dozens of men, women and children." read more
