Karate for Christ

The Karate for Christ International/Christian Home Academy (KFCI/CHA) is a certified school with an exciting ministry, teaching Tang So Do (Korean Karate). Fitness, self-

control, and discipline are stressed throughout the program, but make no mistake about it; this program’s ultimate goal is to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Our students are trained to be as skilled with their martial arts as students in traditional class settings. Trainees build confidence as they learn about fighting, while at the same time learning the value of relying on the “Armor of God” and abstaining from violence.

Because we approach this from a Christian perspective, we only teach the physical discipline, mental discipline and scriptural discipline and eliminate any form of Asian my

sticism that sometimes is associated with the martial arts in the secular world. We are a certified school sanctioned through Karate for Christ International and Master Gary Lenzi is our certified black belt instructor. Each time a student tests for the next level belt, they are required to perform all the physical requirements for that level in addition to specific scripture assignments, and of equal importance, express an understanding of

the scripture. Join us and learn self-defense and Christian principles.

Ephesians 6:10-18

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
