just out of curiosity does anybody have a link to anyone teaching occult / esoteric knowledge with in there martial arts training ?
In Chinese Martial arts :hmm: look to Wuxia and you will find it there.
Now the definition of Wuxia - Chinese martial arts fiction stories
Now if you are defining esoteric as
1 a: designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone <a body of esoteric legal doctrine — B. N. Cardozo>
b: requiring or exhibiting knowledge that is restricted to a small group <esoteric terminology>; broadly: difficult to understand <esoteric subjects>
2 a: limited to a small circle <engaging in esoteric pursuits>
b: private, confidential <an esoteric purpose>
3: of special, rare, or unusual interest <esoteric building materials>
Then a lot of Chinese martial arts can be looked at as historically esoteric.
As for occult if you are defining it as
of or pertaining to magic, astrology, or any system claiming use or knowledge of secret or supernatural powers or agencies
Then no, not even historically...that is unless you go with Wuxia
Or if you are defining either esoteric or occult as you said here
esoteric like witch craft or occult rituals stuff like that
Again... Then no, not even historically...that is unless you go with Wuxia
