　　Kung Fu is also known as Chinese martial arts. Chinese martial arts can be traced to the need for self-defense, hunting and ancient Chinese military training. It is one of the traditional Chinese sports, which is exercised by both the young and the old. Hence, it has gradually evolved into a unique element of Chinese culture。As the national treasure, Kung Fu has hundreds of various styles and it is the most frequently exercised martial arts form. Some styles model after animals’ moves while others are inspired by Chinese philosophy, mythology and legends.
