I find this is the case with a good many religious observations, as well. When done properly, a religious ceremony should involve actual invocation of Deity and a lot of energy being generated, among other things, but it rarely happens in any modern religious setting.
I believe the reason for this is because the people leading or teaching or otherwise enacting the rituals are not actually aware of the energy or the true purpose of what they're doing. They're going through the ceremonial motions, and that's the end of it. Without the intent, there's no "magick".
I would suspect the same is also true of martial arts. The teachers understand the motions, the moves, the dynamics of the physical, but they don't TRULY understand that the energy is actual and that it's being manipulated and can be extremely powerful.
I'm absolutely sure that there are martial arts instructors who DO fully "get it", just as there are leaders of various religions who also get it and who really do understand about the power and the energy, but those people are few and far between in my experience.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
