There are many Martial Combat People, who occasionally preach some Philosophical Thoughts and many times even quote a lot of words of Real Martial Art Masters of the past, just so that they can fool people into believing that they are wise old school masters of martial arts...
But even then, being Philosophical does not make anyone Spiritual or a Good Human Being who
# Strives to Perfect his Character,
# Practices Compassion, Forgiveness, Sacrifice, Love and Respect,
# Gives his all to live a Moral and Ethical way of Life
# Practices the Divine Art of Peace.
# Etc.
Which is a Must to become a Real Martial Artist.
Fortunately observing their everyday speech, actions, deeds and choices that overflow with Arrogance, Selfishness, Self Centeredness, Materialism, Hedonism, Substance Abuse, Corruption, and Inclination to wards Violence reveals their True Hidden Self...
There are many such Fight/Combat Instructors who are good at using spiritual and philosophical constructs (that they have got from either their own Culture/Family/Teachers, or Martial Art Books, Movies, Online Websites, Forums, Videos etc) that they Preach but unfortunately themselves don't connect with it.
But better talk about more well known Examples
Bruce Lee
One of the world's well known Fighter, Martial Combat expert who was made larger than life through his movies, and who is also known for a lot of Philosophical & Spiritual Talk (Most of which he has received from his Rich Asian Cultural Legacy) which is opposite of what he was in his real life filled with Street fights, Challenges, Arrogance, Cockyness, Bragging, Showing Off, and not to forget Substance Abuse.

Death by Misadventure: The Mysterious Life of Bruce Lee (1994) Documentary
Dragon The Bruce Lee Story
Mas Oyama
He is the best example of An Insecure Fighter who has been wrongly labeled as a Martial Artist.
A spurned revengeful person who went from Dojo to Dojo Challenging and Fighting other Masters, is far from being a Spiritual Person.
Interestingly one can even stumble upon philosophical mumbo jumbo attributed to him.

In order to understand who is who and to protect yourself from being fooled, conned or misled into believing false Public Images of such people created for obvious reasons, one must first get a clear understanding of various aspects, concepts of Martial Arts Philosophy, Spirituality and Life.
