Wu-shu's popularity is based on its usage in martial arts films to add flair to fight sequences. It is a solid style, but seems more effective in open areas.
Krav Maga, developed by Israel combat forces, is a close quarters style that uses the whole body to defend and attack. There is no flair, only pain.
I would select Krav Maga for its efficiency and defense in combat situations

Wushu is the generic Mandarin Chinese word for 'martial art'. You may know it better as the Cantonese Chinese 'kung-fu'. So the question is, which style of wushu/kung-fu are you looking at? Krav Maga is the hand to hand combat form taught by the Israeli military. It is highly practical, and very deadly.

Oh, I take wushu and I think its great. it take pactience, and it really takes a while for it to become ingrained in your mind and effective way to fight...but i havn't even done it for a year and i can tell my punches are getting stronger-everytime i get together with a friend we fight, and i hurt him a couple of times the last time we were together..then there was they guy who i threw into a door with a light tap from my shoulder-mmm...it can be effective yes. plus you get to work with cool weapons like the three part staff and straight sword.
Krav maga will beat you down though, if you want self defense, its the one to go for. wushu is beautiful, fun, but really takes some work to master-once you do, it is quite effective too. really, it depends on what you are looking for.

Wu-shu equal kung fu as far as I know. For more on that read a book called Iron and Silk by Mark Salzman. I took Krav Maga for a bit. It's great exercise and is more like hi-tech street fighting. I liked it.

i took wushu. this is what i think about it: after playing sports in high school, footbal and baseball, wushu is the hardest workout I have ever had. It is really difficult, but so rewarding once you complete each different phase. you want praying mantis? hehe
