Introduction to Kung Fu

The words "Kung Fu" don´t translate to mean martial art. Instead, they mean skill developed through much time and effort. Thus, one who has devoted much time to learning, executing and refining a trade or skill (such as cooking or knife making), can be said to be practicing Kung Fu. The proper term for "Martial Art" in Chinese is Wu Shu (fighting art). However, Kung Fu is used as a generic term for Chinese Martial Arts or exercises nowadays in most of the world.

Kung Fu has a long history with rich content. It has been developed and enjoyed by Chinese people for thousands of years, because it is of great importance in conditions and community where nature adapts things and only the fittest survives.
