(Newser) – Jesus just too wimpy for you? Fear not: A new crop of churches that combine religion with mixed martial arts could solve all your spiritual problems. "Compassion and love—we agree with all that stuff, too," one pastor tells the New York Times, "but what led me to find Christ was that Jesus was a fighter." Proponents tout this method of getting young men back into pews, while skeptics worry they're missing Christianity's whole point.

Some churches, like the appropriately named Xtreme Ministries (motto: "Where Feet, Fist, and Faith Collide"), go so far as hosting fights between members of the flock. Others draw the line at fight night viewing parties and fights-as-metaphors during sermons. "We've raised a generation of little boys," says a pastor who thinks fighting churches will help—but another insists, "I don’t live for the Jesus who eats red meat, drinks beer, and beats on other men."

funny i thought about starting a rapid punching /kicking and running are key to fitness agility and balance

save the grappling nonsense for people who really want to get into deadly fights and dont really want the rippedness of difficult martial arts training that doesnt require you to be mounted by some dude or learn lame kata's

Lol @ religious nutjobs. They'll take anything, no matter how bizzare, justify it with their interpretation of the Bible, and claim "it's for Jeebus."

My favorite was when a bunch of Mormon young men started their own Fight Club after the movie came out.  Ok not sure if it was actually for Jesus, but a whole pack of dudes, who really need to get laid, getting together and collectively missing the point cracked me up.
