I think it is visually interesting and good exercise. However, for self defense it is pretty poor unless you have trained for years. Military and security organizations teach effective, proven self defense techniques which are quick to learn and efficient. They don't teach kung fu. Also, if you look at the UFC, you won't see much kungfu there either.
