Hi. I, firts, have to state (again) that i'm not budhist. I do pracitice zazen, now for some years, but after many years in martial arts and drawing, I can understand why there are some other ways to practice zen in movement, like drawing, preparing tea or performing martial arts forms. If that has been going for years and years, why not giving it a try. Saludos, Guillermo.
