Jesus taught Judo. “Turn the other cheek” doesn’t mean what you think it means

Q&A with the Coach.

Christianity vs combat sports. How does a Christian reconcile “turn the other cheek” with hitting other people in a cage fight?

That popular saying taken from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 5 is one of the most misunderstood and misappropriated verses in the Bible. “Turn the other cheek” doesn’t mean what you think it means!
