What is Kung Fu?
Sifu = Shi(Teacher) Fu(Master)
Kung Fu = Kung(Work) Fu(Master)
While there's no direct translation.A reasonable interpretation of Kung Fu is hard work or mastery. That's why there's many styles such as Wing Chun and Bagua. What your really doing is learning to master Chinese Martial Arts.
