It sounded like Bruce Li(ee) said Gung Fu in his flicks.
It’s my go-to.

Thank you for clearing up my 50 year confusion between Gung Fu and Kung Fu. All I knew when I began Martial Arts, was Gung Fu. Then that famous Grass Hopper series came out and everyone was pronouncing it wrong or he practiced another art I didn’t know. I gave up correcting folks and decided it was the “new bougie” way to say Gung Fu and I was just a dinosaur.
Again, thank you for clearing that up along with several other things I didn’t know!

Sifu I enjoyed your article. I’m currently learning taekwondo, I’m a white belt. And I currently suffer from back pains, I think I’ll be a little more regular here

I would be interested to hear more about the language! I like how the words “Siu Lum (Nim,Lim) Tao (Dao) translate to “little idea” or better yet “humble thoughts”. Sort of promotes thinking to go towards softness and humility rather than brashness and aggression. It’s interesting who serious MAs study can lead its practicioners towards deepened senses of kindness, compassion, gentleness and mercy. Good stuff.

Interesting article, when I was younger, I’d see Bruce Lee spell Kung Fu, or pronounce it with a G. In the Iron Age, my father’s eldest ancestors migrated to southern Luzon in what eventually became the Philippines, so I always feel like I should know these things. Anyhow, the same thing occurs when you spell Chi Kung, which is a vague term for Energy Work. I believe Chi Kung, can be anything that involves energy, and work.Tai Chi, Taoism, Reiki, Pranic Healing, maybe acupuncture to. I’ve also seen “Qi Gong,” but I see it mo in reference to the martial art.
