Is Chinese Kung Fu really that good?

Chinese kung fu is actually divided into two concepts: "kung fu" in the broad sense and "kung fu" in the narrow sense.

The narrow sense of kung fu is now many people understand the "Chinese martial arts", there are many real or fake masters, there are such and such theories and routines;

And the broad sense of kung fu is in fact the actual combat power, is summarized in the actual combat in the "killing techniques! "

The Chinese kung fu is still very strong when it comes to this kind of technique.

Think when China **** the beginning of the army lack of guns and ammunition, in the Red Army is quite a number of critical moment swinging a big knife into the enemy group of fierce generals.

Sun Jixian, a famous general of the Red Army, led a breakthrough encounter with the enemy during the bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River in the Long March, and in the case of exhaustion of food and ammunition, he took the lead in swinging his machete to start a physical fight with the enemy, and a person chasing dozens of enemy soldiers to cut, cut the last machete are rolled edge, and hard to kill a bloody road with his bare hands and bare fists.

He Bingyan lost his right arm in the battle, and then used his left hand to swing his sword, and he also did not suffer in the physical battle.

Li Jukui even had the miracle of grabbing a gun with his bare hands in the face of a traitor's muzzle.

There is no doubt that these "killing techniques" recorded in the historical materials should be real, but "killing techniques" is not to rely on the theory of Chinese martial arts or set of exercises out? Or was it practiced in actual life-and-death combat?

I believe the latter.

So I'm actually against the idea of linking "martial arts" to "combat power".

The art is the way.

The so-called Chinese Kung Fu is just the interpretation and practice of the concept of "wu" by Chinese martial arts practitioners.

Not requiring martial artists to have real combat power is like not requiring a professor of management to be able to manage a large enterprise with thousands of employees, or a doctorate in finance to be a stockbroker.

I think this is a manifestation of "bullying the masses to be uneducated".
