A lot of kung fu are taught now a days with secrecy. Before during Sino-Japanese, World War 2, and the Cultural Revolution martial arts are taught in combat applications and a lot of styles are taught in the right ways in these times.

Now since it is been hard to trust someone with "that sort" of knowledge, because of it now it was taught improperly by some masters. That could be a reason why there such art called flowery and useless.

They said, "You never know when your student will stab you from the back". It is sad since many art has lost because of lack of trust. Learning Kung Fu is hard without devotion and respect from your master.
