Follow former five-time USA National Karate Champion, Dr. Vito Rallo, on a journey into the secret world of the martial arts. Trained by the best Japanese instructors dispatched to America in the mid 60s, Vito rose to become the best-of-the-best in his field. He ran his own dojos; he was a university instructor; he mentored teachers and professional athletes, coached corporate business executives, and trained law enforcement agencies.

Now a Christian, Vito pulls back the covers and unveils the dangerous spiritual realm beneath the surface of the martial arts. You will discover that a bruise, a sprain or a loosed tooth shouldnt be a practitioners largest concern!

What you dont know and cant see can hurt you! Do you know the true origins of the martial arts? Are you aware of the connection between yoga and the martial arts, and what mysteries and secrets are entangled in their roots? Are the forces that empower these Eastern arts simply physical powers, or could they be something more diabolical? Have you noticed how these arts are being re-packaged and promoted in the West? Dr. Rallo, who writes with satire and seriousness from over thirty years of experience as an instructor and competitor, answers these and many other questions in this expose.

Suggested Prayer to Renounce Yoga & Transcendental Meditation

Vito Rallo warns us in this book that one cant divorce yoga and martial arts from their evil origins in eastern occult practices. This book is timely and desperately needed. The West is being infiltrated and subtly defiled by well-meaning people who are introducing yoga and martial arts as though they could be Christianized and useful for meditation and self-defense. Vito clearly warns that cant be. Christians, I urge you to allow Vito Rallos book to open your eyes, and then do everything you can to spread his wake-up message wherever you can. We must pull the wool off of our eyes and our friends, and learn to steer clear of the traps of yoga and martial arts, and the idolatry and defilement into which they lead. May God hear the cries of repentance and set the people free so that they may serve the one true God.

There is much confusion in the body of Christ concerning the topic of martial arts. I often ran into a nasty spirit of violence as I was doing deliverance on those who had been involved. After reading this very in-depth explanation of martial arts and yoga, the reason became very clear. This book is extremely well written, easy to understand, and indeed is the most thorough treatment of the topic that I have come across to date. Vito has thirty plus years in the martial arts as a student, instructor, and five-time national champion, so he knows what he is talking about. He very clearly explains the reasons why he gave up the practice, even after using it as an evangelistic tool. I always felt this to be the way to go, but now this book gives an excellent background and experience on the topic. I highly recommend this book to deliverance workers and youth workers, as well as anyone interested or currently participating in martial arts. It is not merely an innocent sport, a physical fitness tool, or a self-defense mechanism, but it is much more!
