Chinese martial arts, basically held kung fu (Mandarin: 功夫; pinyin: gōngfu), and wusyu (Chinese short: 武术; traditional Chinese: 武術; pinyin: wǔshù), are a bunch of fighting styles that have been developed for several centuries in China . These styles are often classified according to their nature, identified as "family" (家, Jia), "sect" (派, PAI) or "school" (門, men) martial arts.

Examples of such attributes include physical training involving animal feed, or training methods inspired by Chinese religion, legend, and philosophy. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal (内 家 拳, nèijiāquán), while those focused on muscle development and cardiovascular health are called external (外i- 拳, wàijiāquán). Geography, such as north (北 拳, běiquán) and south (南拳, nánquán), are other popular welding methods.

In Chinese, kung fu (功夫, gong means "work" or "reacher" and whether fū, "person", or fu, the suffix means "greatness") can also be used in contexts that have no relation to martial arts, and refers to individual achievements or skills achieved through prolonged effort and hard work. It was not until the end of the 20th century that this term was used to refer specifically to martial arts by the Chinese community. Wushu (武 "Wu" = army or defense, "" Shu "= art) is a more specific term for martial arts activities, but is now more related to martial arts.

China has a history of more than two thousand years of tradition and hundreds of styles of martial arts. There is a similar theme in these styles, generating a classification based on common property, as "family" (家, Jia), "sect" (派, PAI) or "school" (門, men). There are styles that focus on wiretapping qi, while others focus on physical competition. The source of inspiration of these styles also varies.
