So, I have had many questions over the years about combat sports like Taekwondo, which I do, and Boxing, and the many others like them. Here are some of my questions which I hope that God can give freely out of his mercy the truth about: 1) Is it ok for someone like me to enter tournaments and compete with others, and if so, in which manner that pleases God and is in alignment with God? 2) Is it wrong to pit one against another in competition like this, or if done in a friendly fashion that does not hurt the person, is it ok then? 3) If I knock someone out on accident, as in I did not intend to knock him out, nor did I do it out of sinful anger for that person, would that be wrong? 4) For people organizing the tournaments and competitions, where do they fit in? Are they in the right, or in the wrong? What particularly about them are they doing right, and what about them are they doing that is not in alignment with God? 5) If I use my skills in Taekwondo, such as defending a helpless person about to be killed, or standing up to the bully by 'teaching him a lesson', would that be pleasing and good to God? In what cases would it be good and pleasing to God, and when would it be offensive to God? Now one thing to know before answers: in Taekwondo we do have protective gear that makes us look like marshmallows. Now that this has all been typed out, I would like to hear some answers. I do want and do indeed yearn to be in alignment with God's will in this area of my life. I want the truth.
