What is Kung Fu?

In general, the term "kung fu" refers to the Chinese martial arts, which are also called wushu and kuanfa. In China, it refers to any teaching, training or practise that requires patience, energy and time. In its original meaning, "kung fu" can refer to any discipline or skill achieved through hard work and practice - not martial arts.

There are many forms of Kung Fu - Shaolin Kung Fu, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, etc. - practised around the world. Each different form has its own principles and techniques, but there is a characteristic cunning and quickness to all of them, hence the word "kung fu''. It was not until the late 20th century that this term was used to refer to martial arts by the Chinese community. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term "kung fu'' as "a primarily unarmed Chinese martial art resembling karate." This illustrates how the meaning of this term has changed in English and accordingly in the Western world. The origin of this change can be attributed to the misunderstanding or mistranslation of the term in movie subtitles or voiceovers.
