Description

Fighting sports and church may seem an unusual combination yet modern ministries have embraced them as means for evangelism and social outreach.

While news media often sensationalize fighting sports ministries, churches see them as a way to appeal to male congregants, presenting a peace-loving yet tough model of discipleship--an image reflected in popular culture.

From martial arts programs at suburban churches to urban boxing ministries geared towards at-risk youth, this aook examines the substantial history of church sponsored combat sports, and presents arguments by Christian ethicists about whether and how they are compatible with church teachings and settings.

Interviews with boxing and martial arts ministry leaders describe their programs and the relationship between fight sports and faith.
