Traditional Style vs. Modern Style A division
has developed between the traditional and modern
styles of martial arts. During the Cultural
Revolution in China, a ban was levied on
practising any fighting method. When the
revolution was over the Chinese government made
an effort to bring back their national pride but
was unwilling to bring back the fighting element,
so they made it performance focused. This form
came to be known as Wu Shu.   Many people still
practise the traditional form which they refer as
the real Kung Fu. Fighting skills and
techniques are incorporated in this type of
training which focuses on building power, speed
and strength. Students are not concerned with
whether the training style looks beautiful or
not. There are many styles which do not look
stylish but are extremely powerful.

The Art       There are various types of Kung Fu
styles. These styles were created by different
families who developed numerous methods of
practice that grew and evolved. Its important to
remember that no matter how many styles are
present in Kung Fu, its always considered as one
art.

The Culture     Kung Fu has a deep culture, far
more complex and complicated than any other form
of martial art. It has a long and unbroken
history. Its often considered the oldest form of
martial arts and some people call it the
grandfather of all the modern fighting arts.
Many of these arts were initially influenced by
Kung Fu, but later developed in their own
way.    The masters of Kung Fu take a lot of
pride and some of them also have secret ways of
training. They may share their secret techniques
with people who have trained with them for many
years. The masters might hold ceremonies before
accepting a beginner as their disciple.   You
should not get discouraged by the length of the
training period. Once you start learning, its
only a matter of time before you start to feel
more fit and active than before.

by many of its fans across the globe. You can
