Traditional Chinese martial arts, (Wade-Giles romanization) kung fu, (Pinyin gongfu), kung fu, a martial art, a form of physical exercise or a form of unarmed combat-associated with karate or tae kwon do.

It is also possible that martial art is a reference to the preparation required for the execution of just about any skillful activity with no interference from the intellect or emotions.

 

Throughout Chinese history, the art now known as kung fu first gained its reputation as a martial art. The creators of Daoist practice made use of kung fu to combat their enemies, and art of kung fu came to be handed down in successive generations. The movements, stances, and training techniques leveraged by kung fu partner with human anatomy and physiology to bolster solidity.

Kung Fu contains a number of moves that are designed to resemble the fighting styles of animals like dragon stances, frog stances, horse riding stances, and snake stances. These movements come from the five basic foot positions and the four stances known as dragon stance, frog stance, horse riding stance, and snake stance.

There are lots of styles of kung fu, and many armed and unarmed techniques have been developed. In the middle of the 20th century a new genre of action films centered on kung fu styles of techniques and philosophies emerged, helping promote international interest in kung fu.
