Mission Statement
“Our goal is to help families grow strong in body

“Our goal is to help families grow strong in body
while becoming more grounded in the Word of God.”
The Martial Arts have been evolving over the last fifty years. The origins from China, Japan, Okinawa, and Korea have historically been linked to Asian philosophies and religions. The Christian Soldiers™ Program teaches “American Karate” and we are proud to combine and intertwine the study of God’s Word, the Bible in all that we do.
The program was created as an outreach ministry for the Christian church. It is a dynamic way for the church to interact with their community and share the Word of God. We do not endorse any particular denomination.
In this day and age, there is a misconception about what “real” strength is, and where it comes from. We believe that real strength comes from knowing Jesus and establishing a relationship with Him, incorporating His precepts and principles in our lives. Real strength, inner strength, enables us to weather the storms that surround us. We believe that God desires to see His people whole in mind, body and spirit. While the body is strengthened through exercise and the development of self-defense skills, the mind will be filled with the Word of God.
We at Christian Soldiers™ believe strongly in this outreach program and have seen on numerous occasions what it can accomplish.
Our Founder, J. Pat Burleson is a Fort Worth native who has enjoyed a martial arts career that spans over 50 years. He started out as a boxer and became a boxing champion before he began his journey in the martial arts. He was the first U.S. National Karate Champion and has instructed major celebrities, performed in television and films, and conducted motivational seminars. Even with all that, what you will notice first, is that he loves the Lord. He believes that God’s Word, the Bible, is the cornerstone of a successful family. The Christian Soldiers™ program has a dual emphasis on Bible study and self-defense with the goal of developing strong faith and strong bodies for Christ.
