What are you smokin? Kung fu was developed by monks who had no way to defend themselves against rufians, so they developed a fighting system to protect themselves. Kung fu is functional above all things. You're probably thinking of Wu Shu, which is a fighting style that is almost strictly for show.

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
