You may be interested in Budokon, founded by Cameron Shayne .
The following quote is from http://www.budokon.com/aboutbudokon.php?selected=a...
"The Budokon physical practice draws upon ancient and modern yogic and martial arts styles.
The physical practice is divided into two themes: The Yogic Series, and the Budo Series. Both themes constantly draw from and depend on each other."
The non-physical component of Budokon is extended seated meditation, apparently in the Zen style.
There are demo videos of the physical component at above site (under Media), and also on youtube.

The "Yi jin jings" were the founding exercises to the shaolin monks. They are "yoga like" exercises used to strengthen the bones,sinews,muscles, and inner spirit. Some are very easy, some are very difficult. They can make you really strong if trained in a correct manner
Yoga is not a martial art at all and would never be one. Sorry.
