Kung Fu seriously builds up your speed and hitting power. Quicker than karate strikes too. My absolute favourite was Aikido, however. When we did free-styling (in all my styles), Aikido mopped the floor with the others - Wing Chun? Thanks for the fist mate, over you go. Jun Fan? Thanks for the arm - I'll stun that, ta! The Bo Staff is obviously my weapon of choice but Kali builds up two-weapon co-ordination which is good (it's very easy to cross your weapons if untrained)
I liked Aikido too, but after I had trained Krav maga, I found it to be more useful and have better falling techniques, and even if it is a more "brutal" way to get out of trouble I have seen a girl that weighs as much as a feahter down a huge bloke after three moths of training...

Though I like the way you described Kung Fu.. maybe I give that a try!
