Chinese kungfu is on of the chinese traditional martial arts. I think it's very easy to find resources about chinese kungfu. We can watch it on many chinese movies. Most of them are true but of course the producer adds more special effects on that movies for making it more attractive and interesting. Currently there's some famous chinese martial arts we can easily find in our society. Some of them such as Tai Chi and Wushu. These two are very popular in my area. I myself also learn tai chi when i have free time. I learning tai chi from a chinese tai chi teacher (we called him lao zhi, means teacher in english language). I can feel the difference after i learn this tai chi. Tai chi is a chinese martial art which give a strong attention on our breathing flow (chinese called it with "chi") so our body will fulfilled with chi energy and we can bring this energy to improving our blood circulation and also for attacking other people. But nowadays people learn chinese martial arts is not for fighting, but for health reason. We can considering doing chinese martial arts as doing body execise. Good luck for you and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

Hello, I'm a Chinese graduate student of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Berapin.I also saw the phenomenon you described. Maybe most of them come to China to learn kongfu because of their curiosity. In fact, most of Chinese people don't learn kongfu, I don't know why, maybe some of them have no interest or they're too busy to learn it. Chinese kongfu has a long history, and the essence of it has been inherited form generation to generation. It worth to learn. In the ancient time, the army learned kongfu for the war. But nowadays, kongfu is mainly served to disciplining temperament. We are friendly to all of you. Besides,culture communication becomes deeper and deeper, and we need it. All the people in the world are in the same "village", we are in the same "family". I come here by sudden, so I should leave my E-mail for further discuss: berapin@126.com

for me,those shown in the movies are to entertain the people who likes action or martial arts movies,because they are so un-realistic I don't mean to offend people who watches those kind of movies,I also watch Jet Li,Bruce Lee,etc. just to kill time.
