What is Kung Fu?
 

Many people translate the word kung fu from the Chinese language as a skilled person, perfect master and a faultless way. Nowadays Kung Fu is not a mere word, it is a martial arts sport popular in the world.

Kung Fu is a kind of sport that blends the harmony of soul and body. This differentiates Kung Fu from the other martial arts. Kung Fu is a way. This way shows the person his physical weakness and how to gain internal strength. A human without internal strength is a machine without thinking.

Kung Fu is a way of thinking. This way makes the person to recognise himself as a being and he gets aware of his right and fault conduct.

Kung Fu is a way, where the humans notice peace and power.

Though Kung Fu is a Chinese word, it is incorrect to search it within China. The word 'democracy' was first uttered in America, but it is wrong to relate this word with the USA only. The word 'democracy' is used in all societies. In this regard, nobody can say democracy belongs to America only.

The word Kung Fu is used in China infrequently. The communist regime has a severe attitude towards people who use this word. The Masters Board of the International Kung Fu Federation promotes traditional Kung Fu in the world as well as wants it to join the Olympic movement. The IKF officials have addressed the IOC and GAISF on this issue.

We, International Kung Fu Federation, recognize Kung Fu as a harmony of mentality and consciousness and accept it as a faultless way. Where there is mind and consciousness, there cannot be a fault.

Fault comes from ignorance. Ignorance originates from unconsciousness. Consciousness is the extent of person's morality. Mentality is his degree of choice. The person, who owns both of them, is a faultless man.

Kung Fu is a faultless way.

Kung Fu is a harmony of consciousness and mentality.

Kung Fu is a harmony of body and soul.

Kung Fu is a way that recalls the powerful people to peace.

Kung Fu is the direction of people who seek freedom.

Kung Fu is the direction of people who respect moral values.
