Neither Karate nor Kung Fu should be predominately relied upon in a legitimate fight- Disagree, both can be effective in a real fight, I guarantee I could beat almost anyone who doesn't know martial arts of some kind (I'm a black belt in both kung fu and karate) Karate provides a more solid base to build from. There I agree, if you're going to learn kung fu it's best to have a "foundation martial art" that's more straight forward, but if you combine kung fu with something like karate it's a lot better than conventional street fighting. Keep in mind we are talking about real hard core traditional kung fu, not american fancy-style pussy kung fu. REAL kung fu is full of advanced techniques and secrets that could easily destroy a non-trained attacker. Side: Kung Fu

Karate teaches you to be rigid-muscled and attack first in most fights. Kung Fu is one of the only martial arts that teaches you to prefer to attack second and adapt much more than you preemptively attack with. It teaches you also to be very flexible and thus loose-muscled. Side: Kung Fu
@Mingiwuwu You haven't done martial arts, I can tell. You are aware aren't you that there are many different variants of kung fu right? Tiger style is very aggressive for example but wu shu is more like you described. Karate is much the same thing, there's nothing inherent in karate that says you have to strike first, that's just cobra kai you're thinking of. Mr Miyagi say karate only for defense Danru-san.
