Kung-Fu is an art form that was developed in China 3,000 years ago.  It was originally developed by watching animals fight and play and as a means of self-defense.  As years passed, Kung-Fu became more refined and developed - not only as a fighting system, but also as a means of mental, physical, and spiritual development.

The literal translation of Kung-Fu is "mastery through hard work."  On a deeper level, Kung-Fu is really about mastering "Kung-Fu" movement and then applying those same principles to whatever other goals we may want to accomplish.  The martial art of Kung-Fu is a flowing, graceful style of body movement that mimics motions of the tiger, leopard, snake, eagle, monkey, praying mantis, and others. 

Kung-Fu teaches discipline, perseverance, self-awareness, confidence, self respect and respect towards others.  The Kung-Fu masters of old believed in pursuing the elusive path towards enlightenment - to elevate one's conscious state and become one with the universe, using Kung-Fu skills along the way to promote health, longevity and the ability to defend ones self if necessary.
