I think comparing Kung Fu to MMA (like many comments here have) is missing the point entirely. Few people who have a genuine dedication to the martial arts do so to become killing machines and, to borrow a parlance, most MMA style martial arts have no basis in reality as fights do not play out like they do on TV. The virtues of King Fu have been expounded upon elsewhere here, but Kung Fu has been around for as long as it has for very good reasons. People today suddenly aren't better and smarter when it comes to martial arts, they just have new preferences and influences for how they think about it. Doesn't mean older ways are suddenly not valid.
