Or separate the aspects. Because it's not about "sayings" or "excuses".
the fact of the matter is that exclusive health and spiritual liberation exercises were tightly woven into many kung fu styles over centuries.
That is hard to undo in a day with a few guys eschewing it.
Make it clear. Health and spiritual liberation can be pursued through kung fu. Train it with a particular method towards that end. When you are old, you will not regret it.
Health and arse kicking requires focus on different aspects, if that is what you want do that.
Kung Fu is good for you.
Ding Dong Bitches.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Kung Fu's alive and well... just seen him hanging out on 42nd by the Speedway. Said "Waz up Kung fu?" he said "yo".
Kung Fu's dead, he's locked in my basement hah hah
We can let Kung Fu die and just assume that Kung Fu is good for "health" only. We can also try to bring it back to alive, prove to others that it's also good for "combat". Which path do we want to take?
Since nobody will disagree that "Kung Fu is good for healthy", there is nothing that we will need to do in that aspect.

For
- "health", we don't need to change our training. We can still train our forms as we did before. If we know 10 forms, we can train form #1, form #2, ..., form #10 one after another.
- "combat", we will need to change our training and develop one skill after another.
1. train a technique (for example a toe push kick to the chest).
2. enhance it (how to make your kick fast and strong).
3. counter it (arm block, leg block, move back, ...).
4. counter the counters (use your kick to set up your punch).
5. ...
If we say that "change" is good, at the same time we also say that "no change" is necessary, we won't be able to have any meaningful discussion here.

TCMA will be around as long as there is a pair of chopsticks and some noodles to lock onto.
