Kung-Fu is a popular form of martial arts, first developed in China by Shao Lin monks. Kung-Fu aims to strengthen the body and improve co-ordination. Originally developed to promote the concentration of monks whilst meditating, Kung-Fu exercises the mind as well as the body. In this way, it can be seen as a spiritual activity, as well as physical training. Today, there are several types of Kung-Fu; including Wing Chun, the only form believed to have been created by a woman. Also known as Wushu, Kung-Fu embodies the idea of ‘Qi, or ‘Chi’. This is described as the inner life force, which is said to provide focus during Kung-Fu.
