I think that the belief system in china is so intertwined with their many and varied martial arts, that they dont even need to try to do the spiritual side of it, thay do it automaticaly.

Over here in the western world, martial arts are not part of our nation heritage, and the combat techniques that are native are not tied to our respective religions, so we dont go into it with mind and body.

I think this gives the chinese a distinct advantage over most other countries in terms of martial arts practitioners :P
