Master Black Belt
Kung-fu as in hard work, innovation or mastery may not be a martial art in itself, but you can still use it to kick ***.

OMG, say it ain't so! :wink2:Note to self: I need to call Kidswarrior and inform him that we've trained in a bogus art all these years.
I am always leary of anyone that says black belt in kung fu. The Shaolin arts use sashes as far as I know. In bak Sil-Lum we start with white, red, blue black, and gold. There may be non-Shaolin styles that use belts, but I have not personally heard of them.

I just love it when people use their specific, limited experience to expound a general, unlimited 'truth'. Cos after all, if they haven't seen or heard of it, it must be bogus, eh?
Umm, like you're focused on fighting instead of what someone else says about you...?I don't have belts OR sashes...in 3 different CMA styles.... how do you think it makes me feel :uhyeah:
Kung Fu simply means you are really good at something; however, just as Karate doesn't mean Martial art and is narrowly refering to a sport invented in the twentieth century, Kung fu has come to represent, to Americans, Chinease Martial arts. Perhaps you feel comfortable writing us all off as ignorant fools, but its a dead end street.Someone today said they had a black belt in kung fu, which I previously thought was just a white term for a martial art, since you know, white people tend to generalize quite a bit. I'm really used to ignorant people calling any sort of martial art kung fu, and I have even seen some dojos advertise that they teach kung fu, but I had just brushed them off as idiots. Anyways, is kung fu really a martial art?
And I apologize for making the comment on white people, I should have said American. It seems that most Americans throw the term around, not just white people. And if you flame me for saying that alot of Americans are ignorant when it comes to cultures outside of their own, you need to open your eyes.

I am a collector of martial arts belts. Call them belts, call them sashes, whatever. It makes no nevermind to me.
I just beat people to death, then take their karate belt/kung fu sash, whatever it happens to be, and add it to my collection. I hang them on my wall as war trophies. Right alongside their left ear, that I bite off. That's how I keep track of who's who.

So I've reread the thread and think I got it.
Kung Fu means martial art, but only to white people on the left coast in America. For everyone else, it refers to a great Dim Sum chef...but one who doesn't wear a belt and uses hard work instead of machinery.
Am I close?
:lfao:
You too :highfive: I KNEW there was a reason you were the head of Xuefu west..... except I take the right ear... seeing that I am on the right coast and all and not the left :mst:

Oh yeah. Please tell me that Sum of the ears aren't used by the beltless, hard working but Dim chef. :bangahead:Well pretty much... but you appear to have missed the entire part about the removal of ears
