  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu &lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;strong&gt;kungfu&lt;/strong&gt;) is a term that generalizes the majority of Chinese &lt;strong&gt;martial arts&lt;/strong&gt;. Roughly translated &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt; means &amp;ldquo;Skill attained through hard work&amp;rdquo; and this is the basis of all &lt;strong&gt;styles of Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Around four hundred &lt;strong&gt;styles &lt;/strong&gt;of traditional &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt; were developed in China from as far back as 2698 B.C. These &lt;strong&gt;martial art styles &lt;/strong&gt;have been emigrated throughout the world and today it can be difficult to find authentic &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu styles&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt; Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt; can become diluted as the &lt;strong&gt;styles &lt;/strong&gt;are taught to different cultures with different ways of thinking and some Sifus (&lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt; Instructors) try to re-invent the wheel by adding some different techniques.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are two main subsets of Chinese &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu&lt;/strong&gt;, Internal (Neijia) and External (Waijia). Northern &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu styles &lt;/strong&gt;are generally more external and emphasize on long stances and large flashy kicks as opposed to the internal Southern &lt;strong&gt;Kung Fu styles&lt;/strong&gt; which emphasize more on hand techniques and closed stances used for stabilizing the body such as Wing Chun.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many of the styles include weapons and some even mimic the way animals fight. Tiger Claw, White Crane and Eagle Claw are a few examples of animal&lt;strong&gt; styles of Kungfu&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
