Vito Rallo warns us in this book that one can’t divorce yoga and martial arts from their evil origins in eastern occult practices. This book is timely and desperately needed. The West is being infiltrated and subtly defiled by well-meaning people who are introducing yoga and martial arts as though they could be Christianized and useful for meditation and self-defense. Vito clearly warns that can’t be. Satan has blinded the eyes of many (2 Corinthians 4:4), not only unbelievers, but also Christians everywhere, so that he can slip in unawares to defi le and lead them astray. Christians, I urge you to allow Vito Rallo’s book to open your eyes, and then do everything you can to spread his wake-up message wherever you can. We must pull the wool off of our eyes and our friends’, and learn to steer clear of the traps of yoga and martial arts, and the idolatry and defilement into which they lead. May God hear the cries of repentance and set the people free so that they may serve the one true God.

In the Old Testament we read that people are perishing for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) and in the New Testament (2 Cor. 2:11) we read that Paul was not ignorant of Satan’s devices. It is a fact that most believers have little knowledge of the spiritual powers operating behind martial arts and yoga and, as a result, they are ignorant of how Satan is using these principles today to infi ltrate western society with the deceptive spiritual principles of eastern religions. This remarkable book exposes the deceptions, which lie behind the façade. It should be required reading for every pastor and especially for all those whom God has called into the ministry of healing and discipleship. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It will open your eyes and provide vital keys to helping those who have been trapped by the powers of darkness into spiritual bondage.

Dr. Vito Rallo has done the body of Christ an enormous favor by writ[1]ing this book. A little hemlock, a little arsenic is all it takes to introduce destruction. The influence of martial arts and yoga upon the church has become noticeable and dangerous—opening doors to the realms of dark[1]ness that will quickly sap the life out of God’s people. I have known Vito for many years now and found him to be a true gentleman and a man of great integrity. He has a fidelity to the word of God and a passion to bring life and wholeness to people everywhere. His book is timely and is backed up by someone who knows what he is talking about. Far more than a lofty dissertation, it is a practical book that we can wrap our minds around—bringing God’s truth into the everyday world in which we live. This book would make a great gift to give your pastor and youth worker. Leaders need to know the real truth about these matters, and this book delivers.

There is much confusion in the body of Christ concerning the topic of martial arts. I often ran into a nasty spirit of violence as I was doing deliverance on those who had been involved. After reading this very in-depth explanation of martial arts and yoga, the reason became very clear. This book is extremely well written, easy to understand, and indeed is the most thorough treatment of the topic that I have come across to date. Vito has thirty plus years in the martial arts as a student, instructor, and fi ve-time national champion, so he knows what he is talking about. He very clearly explains the reasons why he gave up the practice, even after using it as an “evangelistic tool.” I always felt this to be the way to go, but now this book gives an excellent background and experience in the topic. I highly recommend this book to deliverance workers and youth workers, as well as anyone interested or currently participating in martial arts. It is not merely an innocent sport, a physical fitness tool, or a self-defense mechanism, but it is much more!
