Is Kung Fu a complete self defense system?

I mean, is there any kung fu style that is complete or that covers all the technical possibilities?

Is tai chi a good self defense application combined with another martial art?

Wow is there a MA that is JUST throat grabbing, eye gouging and ball kicking?

Because that’s all you need in a street fight apparently. Or at least the guys that have been training for 10+ years (or whatever) always use that to their defense when talking about MMA. Yes we know MMA isn’t a life and death situation but it is as close to it as we can get. I would like to see some Karate Guy with 15+ years experience step into the cage of an MMA fighter who has been competing for 3 years and see who wins. Hell I’ll even say eye gouging and Ball Kicking etc. is legal. My money is on the MMA guy. Sorry

What should I do in my Black Belt Demonstration?

I have to do a formal program (showy demonstration – a time to show off my skills) in front of an audience to officially attain my Black Belt in Karate. In addition to forms, I have to do defense against multiple attacks, board breaking, and something creative to wow the audience. My biggest strength is my power, I have a great front kick and crescent kick, and I want to have an original theme. I was hoping I could get some creative ideas???? Any cool ideas for board breaks too??

testing help for karate?

i am testing for my brown belt in karate, and my friend is testing for his black belt. We need to make up a lot of self defense moves, and we were wondering if any body from other styles could tell us how to do some. Are style is karate-korean-tiger-american sung woo do kwan. Please help i am testing monday.
Well I have been in karate for 4 years now, and my friend has been in it for 7 years, for the testing it says on the sheet to have 6 moves you learned from class, and I have that but I don’t have the 6 moves that you made up your self.And i thought it would be cool to incorperate some different styles in it. We have to pay a testing fee if thats what you are asking, and we do wear are gi’s home..
