Four thousand years; although Kung Fu was not invented until the 500's A.D., prior to the invention of Kung Fu, China had its own indigenous sword, spear, and wrestling arts. China's oldest martial art in fact is Shuia Jiao, also known as "Chinese Wrestling." Shuia Jiao played with "gentleness" theories long before Judo, in fact it has twice as many throws. Also, even though Kung Fu itself is only, give or take, 1,500 years old, many of the THEORIES, that go INTO Kung Fu, often came from much older sword, and spear arts. While the style itself is only in fact, not even as old as some western styles of fighting, the THEORY, behind Kung Fu, is 4,000 years old.
kung fu is studied not just as a phyiscal learning, but as a mental one as well. it usuallt takes a lifetime to understand the true meaning of kung fu. it takes dedication and loyalty to even begin a start on the road of understanding.
The best place is really the Shaolin Temple. The downsides are you have to eat monk food, they might not take you, some of the "monks" there are not real monks but actors placed by the Chinese government to make money. Also, kung fu is all you do at the temple. Training is six hours a day. You have to be willing to put everything else in your life on hold for however long you plan to be there. Alternatives for people who want to be as good as you possibly can be and still be able to sort of have a life, the Beijing Wushu Institute is good.
The rough translation is "skill so refined and perfected, it has become an artform." Take something as mundane as typing; if you can type 450 words per minute without a single mistake, and maintain that pace, then, you have turned typing into an art, you are Picaso with a keyboard. THAT, is "Kung Fu." The term "Kung Fu," even in China, has become widely used to refer to martial arts, although the traditional Chinese term is "Wushu." In the movies, when one character says to another "you have good Kung Fu," one character was saying to another "wow, you worked so hard, you are not merely just skillful; you sir are an ARTIST." However even Chinese audiences were ignorant of the concept of Kung Fu because, see, the idea of "perfection through effort" was restricted largely in philosophical and scholarly circles, and given China's history of oppression, tyranny and poverty, for generations the Chinese public was uneducated and ignorant until the cultural revolution.
No you don't. Just watch videos and learn. I would start with toprock and move on from their.

You can learn a martial art at any age. As long as the individual is willing to work at it, they can learn a martial art. It may take longer to master the physical side of things, but the mental is often easier.
Well, I take karate and it is a great martial arts. You may not use weapons but that is just because karate is created for defense. In my opinion you should try both then decide.

When one is looking to learn the rumba dance no one can anticipate too much on just how long it will take for one to learn it. Some people are much more skilled and experienced with dancing in general than others are.
