Is it erroneous for a martial art to be called Kung Fu when it is really more like Wushu? I found a website (a bad one) for the school I just joined. Here is the summary of the Kung Fu they teach :
Kung Fu is the nickname for the system of Chinese Martial Arts more properly called Wushu. "Kung Fu" means great skill, acquired by hard work over time. Like the more familiar Japanese art of Karate, Kung Fu has blocking, punching, and kicking, but concentrates on circular, efficient movements producing a style of uncommon grace and efficiency. Our curriculum begins with basic leg, arm, and body techniques drawn from both the modern and traditional schools of Northern Chinese Martial Arts. The initial form routines are beginner's routines from the Beijing College of Wushu. As the student progresses, the routines become more complex and we introduce tradition empty hand and weapons routines from the Celestial Mountain, Shaolin, and Lost Track systems of Kung Fu. Classes are divided by level.
So, am I taking Wushu or is Kung Fu a version of Wushu with some differences?
