Kung-Fu

When someone says they train in Kung-Fu, they most likely mean they train in one of the many styles of Chinese martial arts.

The original meaning of Kung-Fu is hard to translate as there is no English equivalent, but loosely it means "achievement through

great effort" and can refer to one's expertise in any skill, not necessarily just martial.

Kung-Fu is an outstanding Chinese cultural legacy, and is made up of a system of fighting techniques. It takes mainly the forms of

routine exercises and free sparring, aimed at promoting physical health, strengthening will power and refining combat skills.

Kung-Fu routines, practiced either barehand or with weapons, incorporate kicking, punching, throwing, seizing and joint lock techniques

into set routine exercises involving combinations of offense and defence.
