Short vid of Jet Li explaining the meaning of “kung fu”
I mean, kinda.
But it’s like saying proud only means a good feeling about the self.
Kung fu has shifted in meddling meaning to refer to (depending on how you look at it) a martial art “genre” and it’s original meaning.
It’s okay to use the word for both, ain’t nobody gonna misunderstand you, and only pedants will give you shit over either it’s original use, or that it isn’t really a single martial art at all.
True. Background of the story of how I learnt is in my tai chi class where I asked the teacher if they also do king fu there. And they told me that well tai chi is also part of kung fu.
Til, that makes this scene really ironic:
Considering how The Matrix is one big Gnostic saga, this one moment of ironic realization echoes throughout the whole.
that’s which the series will end with “To Kung Fu, Thanks for Everything! Neo”
It would’ve been pretty cool if a guy walked in and said “Hi, I’m Kung Fu. Great friends with Neo!”
I read that as Zoidberg for some reason.
Yep and famously knitting is a type of Kung Fu
Wax on, wax off. A whole new kind of kung fu.
kungfu is just showmanship for non-chinese audiences.
