Chinese Kung Fu has become a international sport for the people around the world who want to learn and use to attain its inherent benefits.

The movements of Kung Fu include: kick, boxing, wresting and seizing, which are performed by rules; Sects of Kung Fu are various. As the old Chinese saying goes," In the north, Shaolin Kungfu is primarily recommended. While in the south, Wudang Kungfu is especially valued." Both of them lay emphasis on the external practice for Jing (genuine energy), Qi (vital energy) and Shen (spirit) and internal practice for muscle, bone and skin.
These early dances were recorded to be imitations of animals. The early relationship between fighting and dance moves can be seen in the marital dance called "The Dance with Shield and Axe". Wrestling was also practiced between soldiers in Butting with Horns. By the end of this period, unarmed combat was an advanced skill with several methods of attack, defense, feints and counter-attack. Fencing was also common.
The Shaolin monks studied Chinese Kung Fu, which was defined at that time as any of the various Chinese martial arts. The Shaolin Kung Fu is particularly known for the different moves named after animals: Dragon, Tiger, Crane, etc. Kung Fu, meaning ability, was originally used by the West by a Jesuit Missionary named Pere Amoit. However, today, Wushu is the terminology that is better used to describe Chinese martial arts.
