Basically I would go to the schools and see which one you like best. That being said...

I looked at a Long Tong Pai site, since I'd never heard of it, and it looked pretty good to me. It depends on whether the school you found has all the same stuff as what I looked at though. They have sparring, so you're actually learning to fight instead of demonstrative kung fu. They have chi work in their classes, so you'd be able to follow your interests in that. Heck, if I were in your area, I would check it out myself.

you shouldnt like fighting you should however like sparring which is different martial arts are for defence only Tae Kwon Do is mainly kicking if you like kicking do that you can do some really cool kicks but they arnt practicle in a street fight if you go to a good school then they should teach some self defence aspects as well. There is a lot of sparing involved as well

I fyou want to protect yourself then it should be aikido or jujitsu
