Tae Kwon Do and Demonic Roots: Why Christians Must Stay Away

Tae Kwon Do and Demonic Roots: Why Christians Must Stay Away

Tae Kwon Do and Demonic Roots: Why Christians Must Stay Away


🚫 What is Tae Kwon Do and Why Should Christians Avoid It?

Tae Kwon Do, translated as “The Way of the Foot and the Fist,” is a Korean martial art known for its high kicks and striking techniques. But beyond its physical appearance lies a dangerous spiritual philosophy rooted in pagan traditions. According to the Tae Kwon Do Bible, this modality incorporates Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, blending them into a so-called "moral and philosophical" discipline.

“The philosophical principles in Taekwondo include all of the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism and are equivalent to conceptions of traditional oriental philosophy.” — Taekwondo Bible

The yin-yang symbol, commonly used in Tae Kwon Do, is a pagan symbol rooted in Taoism, representing a balance of light and darkness—good and evil coexisting. This is in direct opposition to Scripture:

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” — Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)


🕯️ The Pagan Foundations of Tae Kwon Do

  • Founder: General Choi Hong Hi, a Korean military general and practitioner of Taekkyeon and Shotokan Karate, officially developed Tae Kwon Do in the 1940s.

  • Spirituality: He was heavily influenced by Eastern mysticism, drawing philosophical structure from Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

  • Culture of Origin: Korea, steeped in shamanism and Eastern religious syncretism.

  • Beliefs & Deities: These religions worship false gods or practice self-deification, meditation, ancestor worship, and energy manipulation.

As a Christian, you cannot mix the holy with the profane:

“What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” — 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” — Exodus 20:3 (KJV)


🎯 Purpose of Tae Kwon Do

Though often advertised as a way to build character, discipline, and self-defense, Tae Kwon Do’s true spiritual purpose is rooted in aligning oneself with universal chi (energy), inner harmony, and oneness—terms lifted from Eastern religions. Practicing the stances, meditations, or breathing rituals is a spiritual act, not just a physical one.


⚠️ The Demonic Consequences

When Christians engage in Tae Kwon Do or any martial art rooted in false religion:

  • They open spiritual gateways to demonic influence.

  • They align themselves with false gods, knowingly or unknowingly.

  • They suffer manifestations such as:

    • Depression

    • Anger or rage fits

    • Sudden rebellion in children

    • Nightmares or sleep paralysis

    • Spiritual stagnation and prayerlessness

    • Inability to read the Bible or worship

Even if you or your children do not believe in the philosophies behind the martial art, participation alone is agreement with its spiritual roots:

“Neither give place to the devil.” — Ephesians 4:27 (KJV)
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6 (KJV)


🧬 Generational Involvement: Did Your Ancestors Practice Martial Arts?

If your parents, grandparents, or ancestors participated in martial arts rooted in Eastern mysticism, it can create generational spiritual ties—legal ground for demons. This includes Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Chi, and others.

You may be suffering spiritually or physically because of these ancestral agreements:

  • Repeating cycles of sickness or failure

  • Unexplained chronic fatigue

  • Trouble maintaining a spiritual life

  • Recurring oppression or fear


🙏 Deliverance Prayer

Heavenly Father,
I repent for any involvement I or my ancestors had with Tae Kwon Do or other martial arts rooted in Eastern religions. I renounce all philosophies of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. I renounce the yin-yang symbol and any spiritual power behind it. I break every generational curse and sever all soul ties with these practices. Cleanse me with the blood of Jesus. Fill every place where those spirits once occupied with the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


✝️ Final Thoughts

Tae Kwon Do may seem harmless, but behind the kicks and belts is a spiritual system that conflicts with the Word of God. Don't open demonic doors in the name of self-defense or discipline. Choose the Armor of God over martial arts.

“Put on the whole armor of God…” — Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

Tai Chi for Christians?

Should Christians Practice Tai Chi? The Hidden Dangers Exposed

Should Christians Practice Tai Chi? The Hidden Dangers Exposed


Tai Chi for Christians? Exposing the Occult Roots of This “Exercise”

Tai Chi is often marketed as a peaceful, health-enhancing exercise that promotes balance, flexibility, and calm. But for Christians, it is critical to look beyond the outward benefits and examine the spiritual foundation of Tai Chi. This seemingly harmless practice is deeply rooted in Taoist mysticism and occult philosophy—making it incompatible with biblical Christianity.


🌀 What Is Tai Chi Really?

T’ai Chi Ch’uan, commonly shortened to Tai Chi, is a Chinese martial art that merges slow, controlled movements with regulated breathing, meditation, and spiritual energy flow. Its foundation rests on the concept of yin and yang, the two supposed universal life forces that constantly interact and balance each other. These are Taoist religious concepts, not scientific or biblical truths.

According to Taoist belief, “chi” or “qi” is a mystical energy that flows through all living things. Tai Chi’s purpose is to manipulate this energy for harmony and healing. But in reality, this opens the door to spiritual deception.

“The movements and inner teachings are derived from the complementary relationships between Yin and Yang, two fundamental forces that create and harmonize the Universe by their interaction.”

This is not simply physical therapy. This is Eastern spiritualism in motion.


🧿 The Occult and New Age Connection

Tai Chi is grouped with other spiritually dangerous practices like:

  • Acupuncture

  • Zone Therapy

  • Shiatsu

  • Jin-Shin

  • Macrobiotics

  • Chi Kung (Qigong)

  • Martial arts based on Chi energy

These practices are all energy-based healing methods that reject the finished work of Jesus Christ and the healing He offers (Isaiah 53:5).

Tai Chi encourages participants to align themselves with the Tao, an impersonal, unknowable force. This is a direct contradiction to the Bible, which teaches that God is personal, knowable, and sovereign (John 17:3; Jeremiah 9:24).

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
—Colossians 2:8


⚠️ Tai Chi’s Symbols and Spiritual Roots

The familiar yin-yang symbol—often associated with Tai Chi—is not just a cute logo or cultural emblem. It visually represents the dualistic belief that good and evil, light and darkness, male and female, must coexist in harmony.

But the Bible rejects this dualism. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). Good and evil are not equal and opposite forces; evil is the corruption of good, not its partner.

To participate in Tai Chi is to symbolically submit to a belief system that embraces spiritual confusion—a mix of good and evil, light and darkness, which Scripture calls forbidden (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).


🔥 Why Tai Chi Opens Spiritual Doors

Many Christians experience confusion, depression, anxiety, or spiritual attack after engaging in Tai Chi, yoga, or martial arts with spiritual roots. Why? Because these practices open demonic gateways.

Tai Chi invites you to:

  • Focus your energy (Chi) instead of focusing on Christ.

  • Meditate on nothingness instead of God’s Word.

  • Harmonize with Taoist philosophy instead of submitting to the Holy Spirit.

When believers engage in spiritual practices rooted in false religion—even unknowingly—they are fellowshipping with demons (1 Corinthians 10:20-21). These activities defile the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19) and invite oppression, confusion, and torment.


🙏 Deliverance and Repentance Prayer

If you have participated in Tai Chi or allowed it into your home or church, you can be set free. Jesus Christ has the power to deliver you from every deception.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I repent for participating in Tai Chi and opening myself to false spiritual practices. I renounce all involvement with Taoism, Chi energy, yin and yang, and any New Age beliefs I’ve embraced knowingly or unknowingly. I break all ties with these demonic influences in Jesus’ name. I ask for Your cleansing by the blood of Jesus. Fill me afresh with the Holy Spirit. I dedicate my body, mind, and spirit to You alone. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.


📖 Biblical Healing Is Found in Christ Alone

Christian healing does not require mystical energy, meditative poses, or aligning yourself with the cosmos. True peace and healing come only through:

  • The blood of Jesus (1 Peter 2:24)

  • The power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11)

  • Prayer and faith in the name of Jesus (James 5:14-16)

Don’t settle for a counterfeit. Reject Tai Chi and every New Age practice that substitutes man’s wisdom for God’s truth.

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”
—1 Corinthians 3:19
