yenhoi, thanks for the reply. Very well said.

I think some of my concern is based around what you seemed to be referring to (if I'm wrong, then don't mind me). MOST kung fu folks don't train for the purposes of competition, agreed. But the ones who have, were beaten VERY badly in NHB events. If kung fu is such a dominant art (at least in terms of striking), why didn't/hasn't or don't the kung fu people do well in MMA?

And please... don't water this down into a stupid argument. I have already posted that I don't know much about kung fu and would like to learn. My posts are merely questions.
