3. The spiritual aspect
There are many Master in martial arts and writers about martial arts, which mean, a good martial artist can not practice theri style without the far eastern mysticism.
Unfortunately, the mostly people associate martial arts with eastern mystic or eastern philosophies.
As Christians as well fight oriented sportsmen we also distance ourselves from esoteric practices (New Age) as applied in some martial arts in order, for example, to become "one with the universe", calling up spirits and such like, or to tap into supernatural sources, etc.
To be connected with the "Divine" or any impersonal cosmic power, to learn about salvation and the very peace and/or to make it into eternal life we do not need any wisdoms nor any doctrines coming from other religions or vital philosophies as Christians.

Robert Bussey, Ninjutsu-Master and "The king of combat" wrote about, that he noticed, that he went a better athlete of fighting sport, after he kicked off the mystic and far eastern religious philosophies out of his life.
