What's the difference between China Kung Fu and fighting in other countries?

Basically different, the core idea of China Kung Fu is "keeping fit" and "from the inside out". Practicing China Kung Fu often requires some boring training, such as carrying water, standing piles and forging horses. At first glance, these three kinds of training are of little help to actual combat. Those who have been trained for a long time will be more calm, not impetuous and stable in the next competition. To put it simply, China's kungfu emphasizes "temperament" and "physique". Is "from the inside out".

Fighting, Jiu Jitsu, Taekwondo, Judo, Karate and Muay Thai in other countries have certain actual combat effects, and it is pure fighting. Without paying attention to "spirit", there is no "virtue". Physical fighting created purely for fighting.

Boxing, etc , is a professional sport within the rules.

China Kung Fu is suitable for practice, not for competition in the ring. Because a lot of kung fu, such as grasping the hand, will dislocate people's joints, wing chun will dig holes, octupole boxing will elbow, and so on, under the rules of the competition, they can't play their best. However, it also depends on the skill level of learners. Taiji is often understood as a kind of health care, but people with deep knowledge can't get into the body and ensure a fall.
