I had a chance to catch up with Vito Rallo who is the author of a new book called exposing
the danger between martial arts and yoga. I will start by asking what’s your personal
background in martial arts? My background was involved in [ ] karate and
in that nearly 30 years I do have extensive work in the martial arts that I can speak
as an expert on it. I was a five time national champion. I was an instructor in two different
universities. And throughout my history and involvement in the martial arts I gained a
lot of knowledge of what to do and what not to do.
So at some point then you got the revelation that it was not healthy. That is was dangerous.
When did that happen? Well that happened about three years ago when
I began to do some research. I didn’t want to do the research because I wanted totally
out of this. But then there were church people and other people that got me … there were
church people that got me involved with this again and then against my true knowledge of
knowing what was in the martial arts as though that point on everything seemed to go downhill
until God kindly delivered me out of the martial arts and the spirits behind it.
So what are those specific dangers that you see for people of for Christians involved
in martial arts? Well that basically goes back to the history
of yoga. That’s where the martial arts came out of and because the martial arts came out
of yoga they are all connected to Hinduism and they are all connected to Zen Buddhism
and so today people no matter what they call martial arts, they can call it Christian Martial
Arts, Christian Yoga, they can say anything that they want but in actuality it is a form
of Hinduism. Actually a person is practicing Hinduism in going through that. If they do
any kind of training. So does that open the door for certain things
in their life? Yes. There are spirits behind everything that
you do. You can’t separate the spiritual from the physical. It’s impossible even
other people are involved like masters will tell you Hinduism and yoga are connected just
as the martial arts are connected to Zen and Buddhism. There’s no separation of the two
because of the physical aspects behind them you are going to see that the power sourcing
used called universal power source that we talked about in my book. We talk about the
energy that gives that person that power. I asked a martial artist one time although
at the time I didn’t understand it, where do they get the power from? And they said
well it’s from this energy out in space or wherever it is at all around us.
But not the God of the bible? No it’s not the God of the bible so what
they are saying is that personal energy is the energy they draw from. That energy is
not of God but that energy is of a demonic realm.
What would you say to Christian parents who are maybe looking for programs for their children?
Self-defense or martial arts. Are there any safe martial arts programs or things for children?
My fifty years of knowledge of the martial arts says the opposite. There are no safe
martial arts. They are all connected. Both spiritually and physically there is something.
They are connected to a Hindu religion. Now I keep going back to that because that same
Hindu religion for example was practiced at the white house a couple of years ago and
they let 1000 children practice yoga on the front lawn of the white house and that happened
to be on the very holiest day we have which is Easter.
Sometimes you see Christian yoga, is there such a thing as Christian yoga?
It’s impossible. You can’t separate the two. Once again yoga is Hinduism and yoga
is Zen Buddhism is the martial arts and it’s all interconnected. In my book I [ ] that
out about what those two connections are Zen Buddhism in the Hindu religion.
Vito thank you. We appreciate you taking your time today.
Thank you. In order to legitimize the martial arts and keep it in a form which is palatable
and people won’t believe Hinduism or Zen Buddhism they have given it titles such as
Tae Kwon Do University. This makes it palatable because people believe that their children
are being educated in some type of educational. They are but they don’t realize what that
education is or what’s behind that education.
