I know we have been discussing this issue elsewhere, and there have been valid points made by both sides of this issue...

Interesting how there is a division between Religious Monks and Martial Monks, how the martial training appears not to be conducted on the temple grounds, and how the martial training is questionable in its content...
I wonder how close to the historical model this is...?
