What is KungFu: Kung Fu, a time-honored martial arts in China, traces back to as early as the time of the clan communes in primitive societies. At that time, there appeared the “Xi” (Sport) of Jiaodi (wrestling) and the “Wu” (dance, or Exercise) of Gannqi (axe and shield). These were the earliest embryos of Kung Fu, which served as a means to build up health, cure diseases, prolong life, temper the fighting will, train military skills and so on.

Kung Fu, literally, means anything that requires profound quantities of practice and skill. A Chinese old saying says that a steel stick can be made into an embroidering needle as long as Kung Fu is enough. In short, the more Kung Fu, the better the job. It can be used to describe any subject, working, assignment, cooking, painting, calligraphy, family life, even career.

In the west, the most common use of "kung fu" is just to refer to Chinese martial arts. This is partly because that the instructors immigrating in last century or earlier time were mostly from the south part of China , where people love to call Chinese Martial Arts, Kung Fu even though they may understand the meaning of term Wushu. In a Chinese dictionary, Kung Fu may refer to something else rather than Chinese Martial Arts, while Wushu definitely means Chinese Martial Arts.
