man, it's not a trick question or anything, I guess I'll be the first Laughing

1) yes, a mental sport like shooting (gun), golf and fishing

2) yes, historically speaking there have been many challenge matches between boxers and other styles, I think they did well enough!

3) yes, there are some martial arts like Tai Chi that focus on health and well being, and depending on the practitioner, some styles like Karate is practiced to become a better person. So I think it's in the same category as those.

4) yes, can we say mind boxing? LOL
