The term Kung Fu refers to the martial arts of China. Kung Fu originated in a place called the Shaolin Temple, where monks practiced Kung Fu for health and self-defence during their quest for enlightenment. Although being fighting styles, Kung Fu advocates virtue and peace, not aggression or violence.
Chinese kickboxing is called Sanshou or Sanda (full contact) or Qinda (light contact) and is a modern unarmed combat sport that developed from traditional wushu techniques, and primarily makes use of boxing, kicking, throwing, takedowns wrestling and defensive techniques. First we warm up, which is usually a mixture of fitness training and basic kickboxing techniques, followed by dynamic stretching.
