i cant believe the person who started this thread put kung fu in the lowest group!!
kung fu is basically chinese martial arts, which includes many different styles... some more potent then others.
i would not let whoever wins or dominates in the UFC influence the decision of which martial art is the best! in my opinion, wing chun is one of the best martial arts... but like people have already mentioned, it depends on the practitioner and also the quality of training they are recieving. i have seen a few wing chun students get in the UFC ring and get beaten, but to be blunt about it, they werent very good when it comes down to wing chun.
without the correct teaching then yes it is not going to be very effective, and finding a good instructor is quite hard. there are a lot of 'milk shake' wing chun academies around! (crap wing chun)
One of the best forms of wing chun is known as futsan wing chun. this is basically an ancient style of chinese street fighting. it was used in ancient times gang wars etc. the purpose of it is to take the person out in one blow... no mucking around! very deadly stuff.
i really would have to say that when it comes to martial arts the chinese are well ahead of the rest!
