    People who do CMA and fight, should distance themselves from those who do not fight and play kung fu dress up-lineage warrior.

    We should also give them wedgies and take their lunch money.

    You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

    Wulin Yi Jia means 'all martial arts one family.' We even have a thread on it here.

    Don't begrudge the cosplayers. They have the hotties (well, some of them anyway). Don't begrudge the lineage mongers either. They have the history (again, some of them anyway). Keep in mind, it's the cosplaying lineagers that make the best movies. And when it comes to martial arts movies, no one can touch the Kung Fu film archive.

    If those Japanese cosplayer girls are family members, then they are like 3rd or 4th cousins...you know, the ones that don't count...

    If you took Japanese cosplay girls from the forum, a lot of people would probably lose interest.

    Yes, but there would still be sword hotties; and now bow and arrow hotties...and any given Sanjuro post....

    As long as this thread doesn't go into the Rodney Dangerfield of cosplayers...

    Honestly, I don't know why so many of you keep coming back here. Is it really the cosplayers? Because there are tons of forums solely dedicated to cosplay. Those are probably bigger than martial arts forums. I wonder who has more numbers at this point.

    We do have a dedicated cosplay thread (posted above in my first reply to this thread), which is also becoming inundated with hotties.

    We all got too much pride to just up and go to the cosplay forum on purpose....but if it shows up here incidentally, we can't be held responsible...

    Actually, my wife has, on numerous occasions, seen me scrolling through the pages and come across the random hottie...she demands to know what I'm looking at and I tell her I'm reading about Kung Fu....I always have a hard time selling that this site has anything to do with Kung Fu....
