sees it as a counter to 'feminised' church

A New York pastor uses mixed martial arts (MMA) as a form of ministry to reach young men.

Paul Burress is an associate pastor at Rochester's Victory Church, and sees the combat sport as another means of teaching biblical principles.

Victory was featured prominently in "Fight Church" – a documentary film released in April about churches that incorporate MMA into their ministry. The church is also the subject of a New York Times documentary released Monday.

In the video, Burress said that the sport's large following provides an awesome opportunity for churches.

St. Moses the Black kicked some butt in the day.

You can use him as the role model unless you think the name is racist.

No but I taught kung fu at my school.

I really, *REALLY* dislike gimmick's in church.

Is the Gospel not enough? How about we throw Satan in a headlock and slam him....

You don't know the difference do you?

I do run a women's self defense class once a month for extra cash and to meet hot Chicks though.

I know that people who generally brag about their Kung-Fu prowess are generally pretty insecure. The best fighters I have know are all very subtle about what they know.

Unless you decide to run a belt factory..

You could teach it at the woman's group at your Church.

sounds like a fun church.

Once a month at my school. I bring in about 300 and I get to roll with hot Chicks. They are the ones who seem to think they need self defense the most.
