For foreigners, do all Chinese people know kung fu?
Since Bruce Lee became famous, kung fu movies have been well received by foreign audiences. I've heard it said that in the eyes of foreigners, all Chinese people know kung fu and are exceptionally good at it. There is even a rumor that not only Chinese people are good at kung fu, but even Chinese animals, so don't mess with Chinese people or things that will send you flying.

Listening to these rumors, really small editor specifically to check, in the minds of foreigners, kung fu is really so powerful?
Don't tell me, in a foreign forum really found a group of foreigners for the discussion of kung fu, let's take a look:
The first foreign netizen called John Cones, practicing Bagua Palm 13 years, he said:
The real Chinese traditional martial arts are very capable of fighting, they have a history of 4,000 years, accumulated a lot of experience in combat. Most of the other East Asian martial arts are really just variations of traditional Chinese martial arts. For example, Japanese Aikido uses Chinese martial arts joint techniques and Tai Chi principles, while Karate is actually a scaled down version of White Crane Fist, and so on.
Film and television are a channel for foreigners to learn about the Chinese. Action movies are one of the favorite films of all mankind, and mankind can't get away from the need to fight, and martial arts is the historical precipitation of Chinese culture, and there are countless boxing materials to choose from as the theme for film and television works. And kung fu material at that time in Hong Kong film and television works, is the lowest cost, and harvest more works, so the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong have shot a large number of film and television works. These works flowed into foreign countries in large quantities, and it formed them to think that all Chinese people know kung fu.
Radio gymnastics for us Chinese is very familiar, can only be regarded as a basic fitness exercise, but many foreign friends feel very rare, many foreigners in our schools to see the students, every morning to do radio gymnastics after the students mistakenly thought that every day in the students practiced martial arts, and then fantasize about us Chinese is not everyone! All such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li that are all will be martial arts, which is also a not a small misunderstanding.
Remember there is such a paragraph, said a principal to the United States to visit, the other party had to see the Chinese kung fu. As a result, our clever principal did a set of primary and secondary school students radio gymnastics, attracted applause, and said: we seem to feel a mysterious force from the East.
