Re: OT: Western v. Eastern martial arts
Spiritualism doesn't conflict with public display in Japan. The top spiritualists get their own TV shows and rake in the big bucks. Here's one of the most successful guys at the moment:

Maybe I'm way off, but that picture just makes him look like a Japanese Jim Baker.  I wonder when Jim and Tammy Faye stopped being touted as "top spiritualists".  Granted, I've no idea what this man is all about, it's just a superficial observation. |

Two thumbs for Endoperez and K!
One small comment on mentioned Bruce Lee: Tai Chi was the first MA he studied. Actually, it can be seen as he often preferred relatively low "half-horse" stance to the high frontal one which he learned later in win-cnun (sp?). |

Re: OT: Western v. Eastern martial arts
Quite probably. I don't have English books on subject on hand.
By the way, a practical application of tai chi was shown in the film Shootfighter with Bolo Yeung for those interested.
