All traditional karate-do from Okinawa work towards achiving heiwa [pronounced hey-wah] which means harmony or peace.
Shao Lin Gung Fu incorporates many insect and animal styles, as small as praying mantis and frog to monkey and dragon.
Most likely however, you are asking about Zen. When Buddhism was brought from China to Okinawa and Japan, it was influenced by the mainly Shinto ancestor worshiping Japanese culture and became known as Zen Buddhism and also as Zazen [positional Meditation focusing on breathing]
You might enjoy reading Zen and Japanese culture by Master Daisetz Suzuki or Zen Mind, Beginners Mind by Master Shunryu Suzuki. They will help you find the heiwa that you are looking for. The way of Zazen by Rindo Fujimoto is another great choice.
In Buddhism there is Satori, reachable Enlightenment and Nagori, Enlightenment upon death. I like to refer to Satori as the journey and Nagori as the destination!

The Martial Art does not have "tricks" but rather skills based on scientific principles and laws of nature. These skills are best learned from a qualified teacher, and practiced regularly, diligently, and responsibly.
There is no known single source of the Martial Art systems of Asia. Each one is the product of its own country with modifications according to cultural preferences, combat necessities, and influences from other sources. The Martial Art can be viewed as a combination of both a highly advanced, scientifically technical method of combat (primarily unarmed), and a philosophical and spiritual pursuit of higher education and harmony with nature. Therefore, the roots of the physical fighting can be traced back to the earliest human existence. The spiritual aspects can be attributed to organized religion, and early human philosophies dating back to the first human civilizations. Exactly when these two concepts combined to form the idea of a superior warrior with an ethical value of human life, rules of conduct, and an appreciation for seeking an enlightened existence is not known. Various countries on the Asian continent developed these art forms, perhaps separately from one another, and perhaps with subtle, unrecorded influences. There is no documented proof that all or most Martial Art systems originated from one source and spread throughout the region. Rather, similar concepts sprang up around the same time periods, and were intermittently influenced and affected by one another as they each developed in the country of their origin.
It is said that the first Tai Chi master observed a fight between a snake & a crane and mimicked their movements. Much of Tai Chi is taken from nature and the observation of the actions of animals.
That depends upon the definitions. For the majority of the world, all martial arts are lumped together. Some of them are trained as sports. Most of the Modern or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA's) are practiced as sports. The martial arts in the Olympics, Judo and Tae Kwon Do are sports with rules and limitations. The traditional practitioners continue to teach and learn the martial arts as a way of life and a way of combat.
