Kung Fu is good for you.
The most important aspect of MA will vary from person to person. To me it is the persuit of perfecting that which I love in Kung Fu. To always get better, rep my techniques until they are instinct and natural, to look at myself and see where I can get better, and to learn new things to add to my arsenal. Better yourself through hard work, that is my Kung Fu.
The most important aspect of fighting, end it as quickly as you can with as minimal damage to yourself as possible.
"The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero projects his fear onto his opponent while the coward runs. 'Fear'. It's the same thing, but it's what you do with it that matters". -Cus D'Amato
MA = Martial Art = a skill developed for Warfare !

now that gun and weapons take the center stage of fighting
open hand practice takes the back seat.
when you get old
MA practice is more important for your health and fitness.
or the health and fitness aspect is important for me.
the ability to look at yourself with clarity, to see your weaknesses, embrace them, and tackle them head on. To defeat our greatest opponent-ourselves.
oh, and to Kick serious ass and look good while doing it.
