  Kung Fu is a broad term that is used to describe all martial arts of Chinese origin. Kung Fu existing under many different names through out Chinese history. At first Kung Fu was called Ch’uan Fa (Fist Way).
  The shaolin master housed many fugitives from justice, and many warriors turned monks I don’t want to become a monk, which sets the roots of Kung Fu in the shaolin temple in Northern China in fact there were five different shaolin temples in five districts styles of shaolin Kung Fu developed.
  Kung Fu is the original Chinese art. Shaolin monks developed and taught Kung Fu as a tool for strengthen the body and achieving the coordination of mind and body that is required to sustain prolonged meditative states.
  From the different shaolin temples came dozens of variant styles with the northern acts emphasizing the mental aspects of the art while the southern arts put more emphasis on the physical aspects of kung Fu.
  Kung Fu is an ancient Chinese hand to hand martial art that was developed to serve primarily as a defense against a one on one hand to hand attack from an opponent, originally in the context of military combat, where the opponent may or may not be armed. Secondarily, of course, Kung Fu is as well an offensive tactic, that is having parried one’s opponent’s thrusts, blows, kicks, the defender would then himself go on the offensive delivering his own thrusts, blows, kicks, pressure grips, etc, as required in order to overpower the attacker.
  Thought it originated in a military context, Kung Fu was eventually taken up by the masses, where it served both as a mean’s of self-defense and as a system of health giving exercise that fused the mental, spiritual with the physical. This latter development explains perhaps why Kung Fu was embraced, as early as the tang dynasty, by Buddhist monks, where the discipline was preserved even through China’s most troubled periods. Since the emergence of the people’s republic of China in 1949, Kung Fu has first reconnected with its ancient roots, then once the genuine care of Kung Fu was rediscovered, the discipline evolved into a sport that has spread far beyond the boundaries of China, having also become an Olympic games discipline.
  Kung Fu as one of the oldest martial arts has been a great influence to other and younger martial styles, such as okinawari karate styles and subsequently Japanese karate styles.
  I think those facts are fun to know when you want to get into kung Fu and I think it would be a good workout, it’s going to be difficult but it would be fun to do. I want to do kung Fu for fun not for competitions and stuff like that.
  The person who influenced me to do kung Fu just for fun is Bruce Lee. He influence to not give up on myself and to keep following my dreams, never let anybody tell me that I can’t and to not let anybody bring me down.
