kung fu

Kung fu, also known as Chinese martial arts or traditional Chinese martial arts, is a term that emerged in late Qing dynasty China to describe the practice of “martial arts.” It primarily emphasizes individual application and achievement in martial arts, with a philosophical approach. Its technical orientation revolves around the concept of “stopping aggression” and serves as a traditional means of education and personal cultivation that leads to an understanding of the relationship between individuals, nature, and objective societal rules.
Kung fu has had a widespread influence worldwide. Numerous films and TV shows featuring Chinese martial arts have been produced, and practices such as Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun have gained global popularity.
