The question was inspired by this post from another board, where years previously I'd written extensively about the meaning of Kung Fu;
My Kung Fu is Kung Fu. Simply as that. The grappling I learn, is just a part of my Kung Fu.
What then follows is the typical misunderstanding, which, in this case is particularly ironic, as the poster lives and works in Hong Kong; You mean to say you supplement your Kung Fu with BJJ and Sambo.
No matter how you slice it... BJJ and Sambo aren't Kung Fu. The only way it's possible to round out the Kung Fu to compete in these types of events is to incorporate grappling. At least to my way of thinking... I'm guessing the majority of the ground submissions you learn are not inherent in Kung Fu. So really it's basically MMA.
Kung Fu is not a style!
Kung Fu is not a Martial Art!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah THAT argument!
It's not an arguement, it's a contradiction.

As you travel to the mountain, there may be people ahead of you. You may pass some of these people on the way, and some of them may pass you. You are all going to the same place, so it is as well to be civil to each other on the journey!
Good luck on your journey, I hope that our paths cross, and we may travel together for a time!
If you touch my Llama, I WILL kill you!
