In favour of Martial Arts!

Priests usually make it clear that they don't like the philosophy and the way of thinking of martial arts. The laymen around them, however disguise the religious way of thinking and in order to have their religion's way, they pretend to use logical arguments. Of course their reasoning is full of flaws, but they use the authority of their status, which they usually owe to their connections with the Church and the lack of good education in Greece.
By the way Judo and Taekwondo have also the same background and they are disciplines of the Olympic games and Greece has won medals.
The reasoning they use is that if one learns to hit, he will have the urge to use his knowledge. Then one shouldn't go to the army, because there people are taught how to shoot with rifles.
In Athens everybody learned to box, wrestle and the mixed style pankration. It was no problem, because it was a society of reason and virtue.
