The style isn't about fighting directly, it's about finding the right motions to manipulate Earth, so real world considerations don't matter. Most EK non-bending warriors don't use a Hun Gar style when they fight, probably for that very reason. Toph and the Sun Warriors prove that you can bend with more than one form, you just can't bend with ANY form you make up. The Ryu-looking guy in the EK bar probably did something like karate, he just probably couldn't bend with it even if he was born a bender.
