What is Chinese boxing?
Chinese boxing, commonly known in the west as practical Kung Fu, is the oldest
name used by Westerners to describe the systematic and effective Chinese art
of self-defence. Chinese Boxing is a traditional martial art. It aims to progressively
train your body as well as your mind to achieve positive health and acquire
effective skills to defend yourself at all times. Chinese Boxing is the art
of total self-defence.
History
Chinese Boxing, or to use the present-day terminology Chinese Kickboxing,
has been practised for thousands of years by the Chinese in order to prepare
for the vital military survival skills of the time. The famous Shaolin Temple
in China had, however, played a part in the development and spread of Chinese
boxing which is the forerunner of all martial arts in the East.
