I was about 4 years old when the short, thin, strawberry- blond woman knocked on the door of our apartment, located in a not so enviable part of town, and called for my two siblings and me by our full names. This in itself was scary because no one used your whole name unless they were going to give you a stern talk about something you had done wrong. Sure, we were being supervised by adults, but none of them were our parents. I never really knew my dad, and my mom was doing her best, but obviously it wasn't good enough. The caseworker's name was Ms. Laura; she was as nice as could be. However, once we realized what was going on, she had to pull us from the house yelling and screaming. We were rushed to an awaiting American Airlines flight which left DFW International Airport, and about an hour later we arrived at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. I cried myself to sleep on the plane that night and many more nights after. According to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), about 16,160 children entered the foster care system in the fiscal year ending June 2007. That number is consistently being reduced each year, and considering that 10 years ago 4 Listen www.listemnagazine.org that figure was more than 50,000 the majority of our time in foster ter development. children, a great deal of progress has care, but my brother was not so for- Sensitivity or reactions to situa- been made.

External Editors: Bryan Hogeveen and Brennan K. Berg Received: 29 April 2014; in revised form: 15 November 2014 / Accepted: 24 November 2014 / Published: 28 November 2014 Abstract: To date, martial arts involvement is often described in controversial terms. While some studies report increased anti-social behavior as a result of martial arts involvement, other findings refer to a more positive social and personal development. This paradox has resulted in an ambiguous public discourse on their value and legitimacy as socially accepted sports, often leading to a dichotomization between “good” and “bad” styles of martial arts. Up until now however, there has been a lack of empirical proof that this “good versus bad” perspective divides along the lines of specific martial arts styles. Consequently, the distinct moral and medical concerns regarding the effects of involvement in harder martial arts—combined with their increased popularity, as well as their perceived positive outcomes for specific target groups—have resulted in a growing demand among policy makers to develop (or rethink) their strategy towards the regulation and support of these sports.

It is known as "the art of eight limbs" because of its utilization of fists, elbows, knees, shins, and feet. Muay Thai Boxing first became popular in the sixteenth century.

    Martial Arts Martial Arts: Does it have any place in the Church? By Vito Rallo We have been hearing even in the last couple of weeks, how the enemy is coming in more and more in this area. Our hope and prayer is that God will use Vito's testimony to expose the enemy and stop him in his tracks - and even cause many to pull the martial arts that's already in place out of their churches. Love, Vito and Pat Rallo Free Indeed Ministries P. O. Box 651 Riverview , FL 33568-0651 Ph. 813-626-0497 www.freeindeedministries.org October 13, 2006 More and more the martial arts in various forms are being introduced and accepted into the Christian church, especially in the last 10 years. It has come in under the guise of evangelism, self-defense, or simply physical fitness through individuals who usually have good intentions, but lack knowledge and discernment about what is behind every form of martial arts. Does it have any place in the church? Is there any place for it in a Christian’s life? Is there anything about the martial arts that is Christlike? What is the scriptural basis for bringing it into the church? Some might quote the Apostle Paul from 1 Cor. 9:22 “. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.” Well, does this mean I become a drug user or a prostitute in order to win them to the Lord? I don’t think this is what the Apostle Paul meant.
