Why do African brothers like China Kung Fu so much?

It is precisely because Bruce Lee's kung fu films, such as "Big Brother in Tangshan", "Jingwumen", "The Raptors Crossing the River" and "enter the dragon" in the 1970s, are popular all over the world and have achieved great success, which has set off a strong hurricane of China Kung Fu in the overseas world and made China Kung Fu enjoy a high reputation all over the world. After Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and other martial arts superstars who successfully entered Hollywood by relying on China martial arts failed to reach the height of influencing the world with their orthodox martial arts and advanced special effects. Objectively and fairly speaking, it was Bruce Lee who pushed China Kung Fu to the world, and Bruce Lee's contribution to China Kung Fu was unsurpassed.

Africans really like martial arts, and so do many foreigners. The reason is mainly influenced by film and television works. Western society's understanding of China is very limited, and film and television are important media for them to understand China. In the film and television works about China, for the sake of audience rating, the producers introduced China Wushu more and exaggerated. This gives westerners an idea that China Wushu is mysterious and magical.

Many foreigners even think that China people know martial arts. It is this understanding that makes many foreigners want to experience this magical China Kung Fu. Therefore, many qualified foreigners come to China to learn from their teachers. Some so-called China Kung Fu people also go out to teach Kung Fu to foreigners. But as far as I know, this "Kung Fu craze" has gradually cooled down in recent years, because foreigners have personally contacted China's martial arts and found that the real China Kung Fu is not as magical as it is in the movies. In fact, let alone foreigners, China people themselves have been arguing about the functional value of Wushu.

In recent years, there are more and more Sanda and fighting competitions, and people are becoming more and more clear whether China Wushu is fancy or genuine. After all, in the arena, it is not by magical legends, but by actual victory over opponents. The legendary magical kung fu has stepped down from the altar. Of course, learning martial arts has some fitness functions. China Kung Fu, which has been circulated for thousands of years, has a rigorous philosophy and a systematic theory of attack and defense. It also has the functions and functions of strengthening the body, eliminating diseases and prolonging life, and cultivating self-defense, which embodies the unique cultural spirit, aesthetic concept and life wisdom of China people. So now China Kung Fu is still deeply loved by people all over the world.
