Chinese Kung Fu
Chinese kung fu, also known as Wushu is one of the most important
traditional martial arts in the Chinese culture, which originated from ancient
China. Kung fu was based on classical Chinese philosophy and has developed a
unique combination of exercise, practical self-defense, self-discipline and
art. Chinese Kung Fu is usually practiced with bare hands with its fluid and
dynamic motions and sometimes with simple weapons. However, it is mostly known
as self-defense and attack during a course of fighting. Chinese Kung Fu
originated from hunting skills in ancient times. These hunting skills were
splitting, chopping, and stabbing, which became the foundations of Kungfu. There
are two different types of Kung Fu: internal and external. Internal kungfu is
where you train your spirit, qi and mind, while external kungfu is exercising
your tendons, bones and skin. Usually internal kungfu extends a person life
expectancy, but weakens their external body. There are many different styles of
Kungfu such as Taijiquan and Qigong. Taijiquan was developed by a Taoist
internal martial artist to help others to control their spirit, qi and mind. As
for Qigong, it based on the search for longevity, with the ultimate aim of
immortality.
