What is Kung Fu and Wu Shu?
Kung Fu and Wu Shu are Chinese terms that generally refer to the whole range of Chinese martial arts. Although the terms are interchangeable, in the west the term “Wu Shu” has become more associated with the very acrobatic Chinese martial arts that are performed by practitioners to entertain an audience, whilst “Kung Fu” is generally applied to the real fighting styles.
