of course they are. If you check arts like ba gua or chi qong they start from a medical point of view. I always try to add a touch of philosophy, history and life view whenever I teach class. I have a good interest in the subject and believe that if you want to truly understand your art you must know where it is coming from and what your founders views into matters were. Plus that seeing things from a spiritual point of view does indeed aide in the physical part. I try to give part of my wisdom back to people who need it. I've never gotten any negative responses so I guess people don't find me too preachy or plain out boring. There's nothing wrong with helping people improve their lives right (wasn't that the entire point to martial arts????)
