A Historical Look at Traditional Kung Fu

Traditional Kung Fu speaks to both athletic ability and intelligence, while embodying the history of Chinese culture. As a primary component of Chinese national culture, traditional Kung Fu was initially intended to aid in hunting while providing protective techniques in defense of the nation.

Kung Fu continued to evolve throughout Chinese history and, today, is most respected for its philosophical and spiritual role within the culture. While Kung Fu was once used to protect oneself and disable opponents, its rich cultural role dictates many of the disciplines learned in Kung Fu today.

Characteristics of Kung Fu

Kung Fu is characterized by its striking style, utilizing kicking, blocking, and other attack techniques to disable opponents. Known for its beauty and flow, Kung Fu is respected as both art and sport.
