Bruce Lee: What Makes Him the Best?
There is not one martial art style superior or above others. History is showing us that the power is in the mixing of arts; MMA in the side of sports and advance military combat in the side of reality. The best is not found in styles, the best is found in the individual martial artist, […]

Promoted to the 5th Degree Black Belt
I want to take this opportunity to give glory to God. This weekend was a blessing to me. I came to the International Gospel Martial Arts Union Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was invited to teach, but the greatest blessing was to be able to learn from amazing, humble and Godly Martial Artist. The GMAU […]

Character, the Primary Reason I Teach Martial Arts
Character is indeed the desired fruit of our labor. Matthew 7:16 tells us, “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” (NKJV) We strive to present the Gospel and we believe that real heart changes can only take place when we are born again. I am […]

Martial Arts Personal Philosophy
I don’t have my own martial arts style; but I do have a personal philosophy. It is not new or original, I don’t think, but it is not a part of the mainstream thinking in the wonderful world of martial arts. I was comfortable with my boxing, Kickboxing and Taekwondo experience; mixed in with […]

Do You Know yourself as a Martial Artist?
Bill “Super foot” Wallace is an extraordinarily flexible kicker. He earns a living, still today, doing seminars around the world. As a former Kickboxer he retired un-defeated.

The Vision of Casiano’s Martial Arts

Exercising the Spirit, the Soul and the Body in Martial Arts
Even before I became a Christian, I was always impressed by the discipline and wisdom I saw in our martial arts heroes on TV and the movies. I was convinced that a martial artist was able to do everything. They look to me like they had some kind of special powers or something. As […]

Conveying the Ministry of Prayer to Our Students
No other ministry is challenged more by Satan than the ministry of prayer. People can fake many things; they can go to church on Sundays, they can read Christian Books, they can enjoy Bible Studies, they can talk the Christian talk and they can even learn how to sound good praying publicly. However, we can […]
