What’s in The Dark Side of Karate?
Why should I read it?
Until now, few voices were speaking out about the martial arts:
l Their focus on an occult form of energy . . .
l Their promotion of the dangerous state of
“mindlessness”. . .
l Their use of mystical occult techniques and concepts . . .
The Dark Side of Karate is a fast paced, gripping book that follows the rise and fall of one of the nation’s top women karate experts and combines it with an in-depth Biblical analysis of the dark side of the martial arts.
Despite the immense popularity of the martial arts, nothing like this book exists. Out of 245 books on karate and the martial arts recently offered on the Internet, only one claimed to critique them. And that one was out of print!
l Follow Tonie Harris Gatlin’s meteoric rise to national fame, her disastrous breakdown, and her dynamic transformation in Jesus Christ.
l Learn why Tonie won’t teach karate today and wants to warn others about it.
l Decide for yourself whether Christians can practice the martial arts without compromising their walk with Christ.
l Learn how many occult ideas and techniques entered the United States through the martial arts and how to identify them.
l View the worldwide development of occult influences in the martial arts in a comprehensive cultural timeline.
l Grasp at a glance the differences between the Eastern religious and Biblical worldviews in a detailed worldview comparison chart.
l Learn about the powerful influences of feminism and lesbianism, the dangers of some Eastern religious techniques, and the real meaning of the popular dragon symbol in the martial arts.
l Learn how to strip off the armor of darkness and put on the armor of God.
l Special appendices offer Biblical answers to “hard” questions, such as the use of martial arts techniques for police, the military, women, and children; and show how to: (a) know Jesus Christ; (b) be freed from bondages received through the martial arts; and (c) put on the real armor of God.
l This book doesn’t just say what’s wrong with the martial arts; it clearly points to Christ’s victory on the cross, God’s armor, and the right way to battle.
