What is Chi-Tu Do?
Chi-Tu Do means “the way of the Anointed One” or “the Christian way.” It is founded on the principles of the Bible, God’s inspired word and our instructional guide for life. Among the many character traits of God we see in Exodus 15:3 that “The Lord is a warrior, YHWH is His name.”
Throughout the Bible we can read of the exploits of men trained in martial arts. The book of Judges (Ch. 13-16) records the life of Samson, a mighty man of God who killed 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey and brought down a temple with his bare hands. 1 Chronicles 10 and 11 describe King David’s mighty men of valor and their exploits. Jashobeam and Abishai each killed 300 men in one battle with only a spear (v. 11, 20). Benaiah, using only a staff, fought a seven and a half foot tall Egyptian armed with a spear (v. 23).
David himself claimed to be trained by God. He sings praise in Psalm 144:1 when he says, “Blessed be YHWH, my rock, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.” In the New Testament, we see even Jesus told his disciples, “and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.” (Luke 22:36)
God has made it clear that there is nothing wrong with being prepared. From the Christian perspective, it is a person’s duty to be able to defend his loved ones from unprovoked attack.
The word “martial” means warlike or relating to war. This is where we get the word military. In Chi-Tu Do, we embrace many of the same principles our military does in training men and women. Values such as discipline, self-control, integrity, honor, respect, courage, enthusiasm, and confidence are the backbone of this system. Although these values can be taught in a secular environment, we believe that they can be more deeply and fully taught from a Biblical perspective. We believe these are also profoundly Biblical values and that their evidence in our lives is an outward sign of our faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the focus of Chi-Tu Do. He tells us to train up our children in the way they should go (Prov 22:6) and to bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord (Eph 6:4). We believe that training in Christian values is good for adults as well as children. We train our bodies as the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Cor 6:19), our minds as the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) and our spirit to be able to stand against spiritual warfare we encounter (2 Cor 10:3-6). Chi-Tu Do training is more than learning movements and techniques; it is about glorifying God with everything we are and learning to be more like Him.
The essence of our values can be summed up in the Chi-Tu Do Warriors Code:
To live a life of honor, embracing my duty to God, family, and my fellow man; upholding justice and mercy with courage and humility.
