Introduction

 

Chinese martial arts consist of hundreds of fighting styles, developed in China for centuries. Terms of Kung-Fu or Chinese boxes encompass all of these styles, they are focused on armed or unarmed fight. The literal translation of Kung-Fu can seem surprising: this term refers to the possession, the mastery of a craft or an art (in the sense of craftsmanship). Mastering the techniques of an art requires two basic elements: energy and time. The Mansuria Kung-Fu is a style of Kung-Fu among many others.

Understand the whole history of Kung-Fu is a complicated exercise. This is partly due to the fact that the Chinese art of combat appeared here for centuries, and it is difficult to find reliable sources and linear history, and secondly the fact that this art undergone great changes over time, giving birth to many styles mentioned. However, the history of Kung-Fu is fairly well known, and even if some specific variants appear, the outlines of its story are often consensus. Tracing the history of Mansuria Kung-Fu faces the same difficulties, especially since it is a style that remained confidential for a long time.
