"Bruce Lee's 1" punch" InfluencesModern day usage of the terms "Kung-fu" (Chinese Mandarin dialect) or "Gung-fu" (Chinese Cantonese dialect), "Wu-shu" (Military/War Art) and "Kuo-shu" (National Art) to describe the Chinese martial arts has added more confusion. Each of the above names in general describes the same arts. "Kung-fu" (or "Gung-fu") means disciplined technique, skill, time (that is, a period of time used by a person to do a specific type work), ability or strength -- and is a generic term for exercise. "Kung-fu" is the term used outside of mainland China (most notably the United States) to describe any of the Chinese martial arts. Bruce Lee studied Gung-fu in his early years and
later developed his own style called "Jeet-Kune Do".
"A good fighter must sense rather than perceive his chance to strike." - Bruce Lee, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do
