There is a spiritual dimension to the practice of yoga, though in some modern practice, it is ignored.
However, there is NO spiritual dimension to martial arts. They are entirely different and come from entirely different countries altogether. Yoga is from India and is from their spiritual tradition. Martial arts are simply that - movements of self-defense used in fighting. There is simply no talk of spirits, chakras, power paths or any of that other stuff. It is simply how to use the body in combat. It is taught in the US military to every soldier in boot camp.
