How can you do Kung Fu?

Answer 1

Most people think kung fu is meant to make you stronger so you can win fights. This is totally wrong! They use it to strengthen their mind and body. Most Buddhist do kung fun and Buddhist do not harm a living thing. The Buddha uses it to train the mind. A lot of kung fu is just for the mind.

Answer 2

Kung Fu in Chinese loosely translates to "Professional fighter." Shaolin Monks practiced it as a way to protect themselves from persecution of their faith and attacks upon their temples. There are many different styles of Kung Fu but one of the main points they share is that there are very few actual rules. Kung Fu is a martial art predicated on causing extreme pain and often injury so, therefore, you will not watch many Kung Fu practitioners using their art for sport.
