and here's why. I didn't say that one can't practice martial system while ignoring the spiritual component, and still gain something from it. I said that adherents to the big 3 (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) would be hypocritically practicing many martial systems as their doctrines (holy books) condemn many of the practices that go along with various martial systems. Capoeira was used as an example because the art itself IS a "religion." Thus much of your points make little sense to the original argument.

Thanks for reading.
