    The Best ...

    Punch is: Straight punch - elbow down.

    Kick is: ?

    Throw is: ?

    Lock is: ?

    I start with straight punch. This is because it is the direct straight simple strike with natural and no need to study alignment etc. Dead simple, totally effective. It is the go to punch of punches.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Simple perhaps, but people seem to find a lot of ways to do it poorly.

    I'm not going to say the best, that is certainly open for a lot of debate...but my favorites are...cross, side thrust kick, hip toss, RNC..(does that count as a lock?)

    You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

    As long as the moves that you mention here have been used in UFC, you will be quite safe. Sometime to prevent a debating from happening is much easier than to let it to start and then spend 20 pages to end it.

    As long as you use the modern terms. In stead of using the TCMA term

    - "Python around the neck", you use the modern term "RNC".
    - "reverse head lock", you use the modern term "guillotine".
    - "leg seize", you use the modern term "ankle pick".
    - "knee seize", you use the modern term "single leg".
    - "comb the hair", you use the modern term "crazy monkey".
    - "back reverse punch", you use the modern term "cross".
    - ...
