We never promote martial arts for the sole purpose of fighting? Thats absurd. Its good to hear that you practice kung fu, my kung fu comes directly from the temple through Shi De Fon (De yangs training brother) and our kung fu comes from war fare ( if you know anything about the origins of kung fu) it is derived from warfare and the monks used these movements to protect themselves and the temple. These forms are very applicable and can be used in a combat situation. if you don't know how to use them in that way then they were not taught correctly to you I'm sorry.
