Chicago Wushu Guan

In America today, however, it is more commonly referred to as kung fu. The term kung fu is misleading, however, as it refers to any great skill earned through hard work and not Chinese martial arts exclusively. A master martial artist has kung fu (great skill) but so does a master chef, painter, or chess player. In fact anyone who demonstrates great skill in anything can be said to have kung fu in that thing. Wushu doesn't refer to a particular style of martial arts, Chinese or otherwise. It's simply the generic Chinese term for all marital arts. When talking about Japanese wushu you could be referring to Karate, Judo, or Aikido; Korean wushu could be Hapkido or Tae Kwon Do; Chinese wushu could be Shaolin, Long Fist, Eagle Claw, Tai Chi Chuan or any of the hundreds other styles of Chinese wushu that exist.
