Martial Arts What-ifs?

Hmm... tough crowd.

Here's a new one:

What would have taken for the Tibetan and Tibetan/Hakka styles of Kung Fu (Such as Hung Gar and Haap Gar) to have gained as wide an international following as say, Wing Chung, the Shaolin Animal Styles, or any of the "Big Five" Tai Chi lineages of Chen Village?
 
Not so much a tough crowd as questions that are not much different from "if the carpeting on the titanic were blue rather than red, what effects would it have on the dinner served on the third night of the voyage?"

In addition, the KMA question relies on a very specific set of knowledge that's obscure even by this board's standards. The Kung Fu question would require violating the strictures in your OP (as would most interesting ATLs). And the HEMA question requires down playing the sports that developed out of them in the 18th & 19th C.
