      It's actually funny how much of a westaboo show that was One of the most racially dicey moments in the Wachowskis's remake is Pops Racer beating the shit out of a ninja because he's a champion Greco-Roman wrestler from his college days But this is extremely true to the cartoon

      Pops does not fight the ninjas in that episode but he does reveal he was a champion wrestler in college and use good old wrassling to beat fancy martial arts when he fights a stereotypical Japanese biker gang (I guess "punks" wasn't a word back then either)

      Amusingly, lots of modern MMA people would say this is completely accurate WRT wrestling vs. most "traditional" martial arts.

      Oh I've seen it from lots of places beyond that. Youtube videos as well, lol. I'm not coming down on either side of whether it's ACCURATE because I have no idea at all. It just reminds me of it.

      It is generally accurate but that’s because they’re different products meeting different needs basically

      So what is the difference in this sense then? What are the needs met by like, Wing Chun kung fu. And for myself I was always more interested in the phenomenon of various "fake" arts with fake lineages, stuff that was more marketing than anything else.

      Chinese martial arts are a blind spot in my obsessive nerd hype fixation but a lot of them are about cultural preservation and Chinese nationalism. They often practice and train in full contact Sanda alongside it from what I understand

      It's also worth noting how recent a lot of 'traditional' martial arts are. Tae Kwon Do was similarly a nationalist project in post war korea. Jigoro Kano founds Judo in the late 19th century partly after reading western books on wrestling, where he adapts the fireman's carry

      My understanding is that the lineage of Chinese martial arts has the *least* bullshit in it but there's still a lot of bullshit As in, "Shaolin-style kung fu" is at least a thing that there's historical attestation for earlier than the 19th century

          There are sources about how the fanciful idea of the "wuxia" is based on a real thing, that there was a tradition of close-quarters combat training developed by people working security for merchant caravans traveling through lawless regions of southern China in the Qing Dynasty

          But yeah all of that history is drenched in layers of bullshit Historically significant bullshit, sure, but still bullshit The "boxing" the Boxer Rebellion built their ideology around was, I mean, a real thing they learned but it didn't work as advertised

          To me the most amusing BS in this area is the Bujinkan stuff, which I would see people trash and call out online all the time.
