There are at least 18 years unaccounted for in the Gospels. The prevalence of foreign influences could well have brought such practices to Jerusalem and maybe to the attention of Jesus. I have an orthodox Jewish friend who practices tai chi and doesn't seem to see any conflict even though there are Buddhist roots to tai chi. It may be so and it's at least an entertaining idea.
Yes, thank you - and the belief that Jesus traveled to or near India has been around for a looooooooong time, and has come from a variety of sources.
Sheesh, I hold a black in Kenpo and my son in TKD. I guess we're satanic too. ')
