The Awakened Martial Practitioner

Your martial art incorporating Zen Koans & or meditation?

Is this an advantage or a hindrance to the time that could be better used for something more practical? Do you see them, and that these practices specific to a religion (Buddhism) or simply a spiritual practice which can be understood from any religion? (Just as prayer is used as a tool throughout many religions) http://www.msisshinryu.com/articles/koans/koans01.shtml

Zen meditation and yes. We could always benefit from a calm mind and only trained to improve their reflexes. But koans? I do not know not that, I mean it's good to keep your mind sharp and everything, but try to answer riddles rhethorical as "What is the sound of one hand clapping? "Does not exactly make you a better fighter. As far as I know, koans have been used by Buddhists designs Zen promote wakefulness. By understanding and discovery of the whole point of a koan, one is able to have clarity and therefore better understanding of the world around him. And from this illumination is tolerance, patience, understanding and a sense of peace with the world around him, thus avoiding the need to resort to violence to be heard.
