To be sure, this training would also equip you for a potential physical battle, but that was not the primary purpose in studying the art. This was seen in the arts typically classified as Budo . The Christian is here to develop our total being under the control and direction of the Holy Spirit. That reflects itself in our focus on the total man. The evangelistic component is provided by a demonstration team of 7 martial artists and 2 power lifters.
Demonstrations consist of a variety of feats of strength, martial arts skill, and theatric flair.
Special effects such as strobelights, smoke machines, and music are used to catch and keep the attention of the audience. Both during and following the demonstration, a hard hitting gospel message is shared, with excellent results. Solid Impact team members have done demonstrations for banquets, retreats, camps, church services, youth conventions, prisons, and shelters. The discipleship component is provided by martial arts classes taught at churches, schools, and colleges. The curriculum was developed from the ground up by Solid Impact instructors, and is Bible based and designed for mizimal student retention and practical use.
