Yes, kung fu is a martial art. Today the Chinese refer to it as Wushu. Many of the Martial Arts in Southeast Asia trace their origins to Kung Fu.
Martial art in China is Wushu not kung fu. Kung fu is a skill or development. Kung fu is a English term used for Chinese martial arts. Kung fu comes from the word Ku fu that pinyin translated to mean kung fu. Both words are used in ancient China, but in modern China wu means martial or military and shu means art. Martial arts in China were always called Wushu or Ku fu not the English term of kung fu. Martial art is skill or development also Ku fu is any skill or development not just martial arts. So learning any thing is Ku fu.
