01Executive Overview

Spanning thousands of years of Chinese history, traditional Kung Fu (meaning achievement through hard work) evolved across distinct geographical, historical, and philosophical lines. Major hubs include the Northern Shaolin Monastery (emphasizing long-range kicking, agility, and fluid extension) and Southern Wudang/Fushan regions (emphasizing close-range stability, fast hands, and low stances like Wing Chun and Hung Gar).
