Can Christianity And Martial Arts Work Together With Other Religions Present?

Let's face it, when you hear about religion tied to something, one tends to think exclusivity, and for good reason.  In other words, a Catholic high school tends to have only Catholic students; a Jewish school tends to have only Jewish students, and so on and so forth.  Now on one hand, Master Al Garza's Premier Martial Arts in League City (Texas) reportedly has students from a variety of religions including Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism.  On the other hand, Garza told The Galveston County Daily News the following: "We're not overt about the Christianity, but we don't try to hide it either.  It's who we are and what we believe -- a spiritual Christian martial arts academy." 

Garza isn't just playing games with all of this, either.  If you want to get a black belt at his academy, you must work three hours a day Monday through Saturday.  Up to an hour of this is devoted to Bible study. Further, they discuss verses from the Bible as a part of the curriculum. But here's the question- can students of other religions stay happy and unconflicted in such an environment?

It's not that there's anything wrong with this idea.  There isn't.  If you are a Christian family, then this seems like it could be a great fit.  But if you're not a Christian, then there conceivably could be some conflicts.  There's no doubt that we could all learn something from a variety of spiritual texts, and maybe that's the idea behind it and why those of other faiths apparently find the setting a good fit.  Perhaps it's treated like a college course; in other words, you learn about another religion but don't necessarily have to believe.  Maybe the teachings chosen to be utilized are simply pertinent to any religion, they are so universal.

Regardless, it would be interesting to hear how the school manages to help those with other belief systems stay content, and if there are other schools out there doing similar things.
