In China, there is longstanding resentment of the Japanese schools of karate for stealing, imitating, and claiming credit for the forms of [[kung fu]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sunypress.edu/content/download/451735/5494658/version/1/file/9780791469910_imported2_excerpt.pdf|title=Kung fu and Japanese imperialism|access-date=2022-06-19|archive-date=2022-06-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220614232803/https://sunypress.edu/content/download/451735/5494658/version/1/file/9780791469910_imported2_excerpt.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Before the 1970s, most [[sifu]] disapproved of teaching kung fu to non-Chinese students.<ref>Wing Chun Bil Jee, by William Cheung, 1983</ref> In the mid-20th century, Japanese [[karate]] was itself appropriated by American soldiers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250959928|title=the Feet of the Master: Three Stages in the Appropriation of Okinawan Karate Into Anglo-American Culture|access-date=2022-06-19|archive-date=2022-06-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619122422/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250959928_the_Feet_of_the_Master_Three_Stages_in_the_Appropriation_of_Okinawan_Karate_Into_Anglo-American_Culture|url-status=live}}</ref> As [[mixed martial arts]] gained popularity in the 21st century, practitioners have appropriated and combined Chinese, Japanese and [[Muay Thai|Thai]] techniques with Western-style boxing, wrestling, and kickboxing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1038&context=jca|title=Japanisation of Karate|access-date=2022-06-19|archive-date=2021-06-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621103950/https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1038&context=jca|url-status=live}}</ref>

Critics argued that this disrespected Thai cultural heritage and overshadowed Cambodian martial arts like Bokator.
