    I think that is most likely. At least, more likely than the idea that Japanese Karate got into the mix somehow.

    Jake Mace says he visits China every year to train.... I have yet to see anything that looks like actual Kung Fu. I think he's learning from this guy.

    Really? I dunno, I didn't find it disrespectful at all. I just saw it as a stupid parody.

    Health of marial artists

    A Change of subject!
    Any one of you you have suffered an injury much like I have and felt that full recovery is somewhat hopeless. I have news for you. I have had pain in some shape form or fashion from my back injury. Lately I had someone do ASTYM / Gua Sha on different areas of my Body. I worked for 8-10 hours today with relatively 0/10 pain 98% of the day. This is awesome believe me injuries are like Locks and one searches for the Keys to fit those locks to be better. I have found such a KEY. KC

    Probably because you aren't Asian?
    But if all white people were depicted as Ozark Hillbillies, how would you feel about that? lol
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    but you calling kung fu heroes from boxer rebellion a bunch of primitive savages and making fun of how they all got shot is perfectly ok.

    If comedy had to cut out all stereotypes and generalities there'd be quite a few comedians out of work...

    I've seen what Japan thinks white people are like. I'm not offended in the least.

    Big nose, blonde hair, everyone owns a gun...

    That's just the general perception of what a Westerner is. This doesn't even get in to a parody.

    Yeah, not only did they manage to pull the Chinese kung fu stereotype out, but they also managed to depict Mexicans as gun toting criminals. I wonder if these guys are from Texas (see what I did there)?

    Based on what? Because I lived in Japan and that was never an impression that I got. The blonde hair thing was a trait they thought was appealing, much like here we like dark skin and green eyes. But to say that's what they think Westerners are is something I never personally experienced.

    Much like the cowboy thing. THEY like cowboys more than we do. But talk with my friends about the history of samurai and ninjas, and they start to yawn in about 3.2 seconds.

    You've seen what 'Japan' thinks, or what a few people in Japan might think? I notice that some people speak of an entire country's population as if it's some monolithic entity.
