Hi, are there many Christians here who participate in combat sports? Sports like:
Boxing, Judo, MMA, Kickboxing and Muay Thai etc. (Long post) I'll write a "too long, didn't read" paragraph at the bottom.
I am not asking whether these sports are allowed or good as a Christian. Mainly, I would like a discussion about whether they're the best use of time as a Christian.
To explain, I'm ready to commit to training now however I have become a stronger Christian as I continue to learn. This helps me in many ways except the thought that I should be spending my time becoming stronger spiritually rather than physically etc. I cannot remember the verse about why spiritual battles are more important than carnal/physical, but it's in the Bible. This also applies to how we spend our time e.g. training a martial art or combat sport.
