Four questions to ponder and answer;
1.) But why is it that religion, such as Taosim, Buddhsim, Hinduism, seem to partake within its structure?
2.) How does one obtain a manner of spiritualty by obtaining a manner of fighting prowess?
3.) Why are the spiritual aspects of martial arts considered pusillanimous?
4.) Is it about fighting and kicking butt? Or about refraining from fighting and kicking butt?
Can anyone answer these?

1) In order to survive it was necessary, often monks acted as peace keepers in their time, peacekeeping requires the threat and/or use of force.
2)By perfecting a skill.
3) Incorrect use of english here. rephrase question, hard to know exactly what you mean.
4)WHat you mean to ask is martial arts about fighting or only fighting when needed.
I dont like this question either, seems pointless. people will use it for whatever they want. is martial arts for fitness or fighitng is it for spirituality or for fighting is it for comradeship or fighting, is it about fighting without fighting.
it is whatever it means to you.
