Kung Fu hasnt caught on in America because its too complicated for Americans to understand.  karate is easy compared to the real shaolin arts.  Im from china, I should know.  This is where all martial arts began.  
But it is true what you say about not being a master after only a few years practice.  In my country you never become a master until you are dead.  This symbolises that you can never learn enough and you will never reach your potential.  most of the original teachings have been lost so unfortunately we can never fully understand the highest arts, we can only refine what we have to make it more deadly in fighting situations, but the the true meaning and goal of martial arts is almost impossible to acquire.
