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)
