Kung Fu Kung fu or gongfu (功夫, Pinyin: gōngfu) is a well-known Chinese term used in the West to designate Chinese martial arts. Its original meaning is somewhat different, referring to one's expertise in any skill, not necessarily martial. Many consider wushu a better term for Chinese martial arts, as it translates directly into martial art.
Kung Fu Records Kung Fu Records is an American music label. They have been known to produce music by bands such as The Ataris, Tsunami Bomb, The Vandals, Blink 182, Apocalypse Hoboken, Mi6, Antifreeze, MxPx, Audio Karate, Josh Freeze, God Awfuls, Bigwig, Assorted Jellybeans, Ozma, Useless I.D, and Alkaline Trio.
Black Tiger Kung Fu Black Tiger Kung Fu was inherited from Sujia Shaolin (non Monk).
The lineage of this Kung Fu style martial art system can be traced from Shizugong Wang Zhenyuan in Shantung Province, China around 1870, who taught the second generation Sizhu Wang Zijiu. The third Generation was Grandmaster Wang Zhixiao who came to Indonesia with great grand master Wang Zijiu. The fourth generation is master Su Fuyuan (Souw Hok Gwan).
Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu This martial art is known for imitating the movements of a praying mantis in combat, in particular using the hands in a 'praying mantis hand' shape. Praying Mantis is especially famous for its speed and continuous attacks. Another prominent feature of the style is the complex footwork, borrowed from Monkey Kung Fu.
There are several styles of Praying Mantis, of which the most famous are:
Seven Star Praying Mantis (七星蟷螂拳 Qixing Tanglangquan)
White Crane Kung Fu There are two main schools of White Crane Kung Fu (白鶴拳; pinyin: bái hé quán; Hokkien: pek hok kun) with very different origins and techniques.
Snake Kung Fu There are several styles of Chinese martial arts which imitate the motions of snakes (蛇) as some part of their training system. Proponents claim that adopting the fluidity of snakes allows them to entwine with their opponents in defense and strike them from angles they wouldn't expect in offense. The snake is one of the original five animals of Shaolinquan, and there were many snake stylists known formerly from Wudangshan. Snake style is said to especially lend itself to applications with the Chinese straight sword. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is said by some of its schools to originally have been based on a combination of the Snake and White Crane styles, and the snake is also one of the animal styles emulated in the related arts of Baguazhang and Xingyiquan. The sinuous, fluid motion of the snake lends itself to the practical theory that underlies such soft style martial arts.
Kung Fu (TV Series) Kung Fu is a television series that ran for three years beginning in 1972, about the adventures of a Shaolin monk in the Wild West armed only with his skill in martial arts. It was produced by Warner Brothers for ABC, and starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Rad Pera as the young Caine. Also part of the regular cast were Keye Luke as Master Po and Philip Ahn as Master Kan.
The pilot for this series was a 1972 TV movie of the same name.
Monkey Kung Fu Monkey Kung Fu (猴拳) is a Chinese martial art where the movements imitate monkeys or apes in fighting. Systems of monkey kung fu like Tai Shing Pek Kwar (大聖劈掛門) were invented by Kau Sze (寇四) during the Qing dynasty. Many other, older styles of monkey kung fu exist as well, some recorded to be as old as the Song dynasty. This style includes many difficult acrobatic movements and techniques executed while tumbling along the ground or prone. The staff features prominently in its weapons training.
Kung Fu Theater During the 1980s, many martial arts movies appeared on North American syndicated television nationwide. A highly remembered Saturday afternoon ritual among children of the 80s, the popularity of these films convinced independent television stations to reserve an dedicated airslot for them much in the same tradition of "The Late Night Creature Feature". Many stations would promote this time slot with the interchangeable names Kung Fu Theater or Black Belt Theater. It is not known who coined these names or who began using them first. But they are universally associated with the low budget Kung Fu and ninja films produced by studios such as the Shaw Brothers. Other notable prolific producers include Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai.
Dog Kung Fu Dog Kung Fu, i.e. Góuquán (狗拳), is a martial arts style from China. This is a southern style of Chinese boxing that specializes in takedowns and ground fighting. Often favoured by women, the fighter typically assumes a stance that requires that both hands and feet be on the ground, resembling a dog. This form of martial arts also teaches Iron Shirt, and Iron Palm fighting methods, as well as specialized leaping techniques. It is mainly practiced in Fujian Province.
