China possesses one of the world’s oldest and most influential martial traditions. Known collectively as kung-fu, these arts encompass hundreds of systems developed over centuries across a vast and diverse civilization. From the powerful striking methods of Southern China and the dynamic kicking arts of the North to the internal disciplines of Taijiquan, Qigong, and Bagua Zhang, Chinese martial arts have shaped the development of combat, health, and self-cultivation throughout Asia and beyond.
