The karate fighters seemed more realistically trained. I don't count out Kung Fu as a style because it was developed in an era when it was actually used as a martial art like Japanese jiu jitsu. It was not developed for sport. It was also a good demo at how hard it is,even as a superior fighter to knock someone out who doesn't want you to. It demonstrated that none of the karate fighter's single strikes ended the fight. I don't think the Kung Fu guy was used to taking punches. This is why boxer irregularly wail on guys from dojos who don't train getting hit. The less rules the better for evaluating styles. Otherwise you can gain a false sense of power like the guy in this hilarious video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gEDaCIDvj6I&feature=related
