This is the first time that I had heard someone refered to the Martial Arts as being sinful. Maybe it's becuase I don't get out much though.

I am not a very religious person but am spiritual. I wouldn't say what most Martial Artist train for is being a sin. Most of whom I have met through the years train for the protection of themselves or others they hold dear to them. Most also train for the physical and centering benefits that come from the study.

I would never train for such things like MMA fights. But I do have a respect for those that do. It's just not my sort of thing. I can see where people could argue that such fighting for a paycheck could be considered a sin though.
