Yes. However, a Christian martial artist will base his spiritual life
upon Jesus Christ instead. Although it is true that most martial arts are based upon spiritual aspects which are derived from the Eastern Religions, a good Christian martial arts school will not allow Eastern spiritual influences to affect their training.

This is why good Christian instructor will build his foundation on the principles and teachings of the Christian Bible. |
