kung fu

Nowadays, one associates the word, “kung-fu,” with punches, kicks, martial arts champions, fighting. But the original meaning of “kung-fu” was never intended to describe martial arts in any way. Kung-fu originally referred to the time and energy spent in learning something. A successful chef expends lots of “kung-fu” to cook the tastiest dishes. A doctor undergoes considerable “kung-fu” to be able to take care of sick people. A martial artist uses lots of “kung-fu” in practicing his physical forms so he may display them to audiences one day. The term “kung-fu” was first broached to Western audiences by Bruce Lee when he stepped into the spotlight and used it to describe his martial arts. From there, a misconception arose and people began using “kung-fu” to refer to Bruce Lee, martial arts, punches, kicks, and the whole related system. So it’s really a misnomer, a word whose meaning expanded to encompass other objects.

Ala!!! eso no lo sabia ni de lejos.
pero de todas formas, si no recuerdo mal, es traducible a algo parecido a lo q podria ser traducido "karate" o cualquier otro arte marcial no? (en plan "camino estupendoso", "punyo destructor" o "muette mottal" ,ya me entendeis ) :P

jeje, nop. Cada una tiene su propio significado.
Por ejemplo, karate do significa camino de la mano vacia.. y kung fu por lo que veis significa esfuerzo..
