Are You Possessed?

The author says that any student who is able to discern which activities or techniques were occult and which were not occult  and tried to expose them would not be permitted to continue training in martial art because the student would be a threat to the demons. While it is true that  student would probably be asked to not attend training any more, it would be because the student would be disrupting class with his or her outlandish beliefs; not because of the beliefs themselves or because the demon in the instructor was afraid of exposure, but because of the disruptive behavior.   

The author also says that, if you think it would be helpful, you could take a short course in self-defense, but that you should avoid the following things to prevent being unwittingly drawn into or indoctrinated by an occult philosophy. He says you should avoid any class that:

• Teaches breathing exercises. (We all know how evil deep breathing is; you may suck in a stray demon.)
• Teaches “meditation. (Science has proven that deep breathing and mediation can lower stress, heart rate, and blood pressure, but it has not found any connection with demons.)
• Teaches "Eastern philosophy." (If you don’t want to learn it, then don’t attend a school that teaches it.) Claims to use "latent power" or ki. (As proven by science, the results of ki are natural, not spiritual.)
• Claims to give specific training to achieve "calmness of mind." (Apparently, only an active mind may recognize and reject demons.)
• Claims to teach a particular school, system, or type of martial art. (According to the author, it is okay to learn individual fighting skills as long as there is no pattern, organization, or standardization to using the skills.)
• Has instructors that are secretive and reluctant to discuss special techniques, reserving such discussions only for advanced ranks. (This is good advice. Since there are no special techniques, other than those that are age appropriate, this type of instructor is probably a fraud, or at least, an idiot.)
