Kung-Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and other striking arts are all well and good for a time, but when the fighting goes to the ground they are next to useless. If you have seen many street fights, they almost always go to clench range and then to the ground. Often immediately the fight is to close for kicks or longer punches. It is essential to become good at grappling.
Here is Gracie (Brazilian) Jiu-Jitsu vs. Kung Fu. Actually, the kick destructions at the opening of the fight are Muay Thai or Jeet Kun Do style rather than BJJ. But the ground stuff is all BJJ. I have studied BJJ and Jeet Kun Do and highly recommend them.

While it may look like Royce (in white) does not have very much control, he knows what he is doing. There were several opportunities where he could have applied submission holds, but he chose not to for whatever reason.
