功夫(Kung Fu)是中国武术(martial arts)的俗称。中国武术的起源可以追溯到自卫的需要、狩猎活动以及古代中国的军事训练。它是中国传统体育运动的一种,年轻人和老年人都练。它已逐渐演变成了中国文化的独特元素。作为中国的国宝,功夫有上百种不同的风格,是世界上练得最多的武术形式。有些风格模仿了动物的动作,还有一些则受到了中国哲学思想、神话和传说的启发。

Kung Fu is the folk name of Chinese martial arts, which can be traced back to the needs of self-defense, hunting, and military drill in ancient China. It is one of the Chinese traditional sports practiced by both the young and the old. It has gradually evolved into a unique element of Chinese culture. Kung Fu, as the national treasure of China, includes hundreds of various styles and is the most-practiced form of martial arts in the world. Some styles imitate the movements of animals, while others are inspired by Chinese philosophical thoughts, myths and legends.
