Is Kung Fu a martial art?
Yes, kung fu is a martial art. Today the Chinese refer to it asWushu. Many of the martial arts in Southeast Asia trace theirorigins to Kung Fu.

Martial art in China is Wushu not kung fu. Kung fu is a skill ordevelopment. Kung fu is a English term used for Chinese martialarts. Kung fu comes from the word Ku fu that pinyin translated tomean kung fu. Both words are used in ancient China, but in modernChina wu means martial or military and shu means art. Martial artsin China were always called Wushu or Ku fu not the English term ofkung fu. Martial art is skill or development also Ku fu is anyskill or development not just martial arts. So learning any thingis Ku fu.
