In a video clip circulating on social media, a woman making religious claims suggests that various martial arts disciplines serve as conduits to supernatural forces.
“I want to talk about martial arts,” the speaker begins in the footage. “Karate, kung fu—they open the door to the supernatural. Judo, jiu-jitsu—they’re accessing the supernatural realm.”
The speaker continues by adding other practices to her list of concerns: “Tai chi is another open door to the supernatural. When people practice yoga or martial arts, they open themselves up to supernatural influences.”
According to her theory, these activities work through metaphysical means regardless of practitioner awareness. “The movements manipulate spiritual energy, which is actually the supernatural realm. This is what’s happening whether the person is doing it consciously or not.”
The speaker claims supernatural influences can manifest subtly: “Supernatural oppression is not always obvious or easy to recognize, even in children’s cartoons like Ninja Turtles or Kung Fu Panda.”
To support her assertions, she references anecdotal evidence: “I’ve heard many testimonies of people who needed spiritual healing after participating in these things.”
She concludes with a warning: “Let’s not be ignorant of these influences when it comes to the supernatural realm. Your intention doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re doing something that is meant to access that realm.”
The claims contradict widely accepted understandings of martial arts, which historians and practitioners generally describe as combat systems developed for self-defense, physical fitness, and mental discipline rather than supernatural purposes.
Many practitioners of martial arts view these disciplines as physical exercise and cultural traditions that promote values like respect, perseverance, and self-improvement—without supernatural elements.
