When I was young I joined all kind of fight competitions... this was 1986! I was disqualified beat by @Bofaatbeatz #kickoxing #knockout #roundhousekick #chucknorris #kungfu #sanda #hungkuen

Kung Fu means litterally " a skill achieved"
You cant do kung fu or practice kung fu you only can have it
only through hard work, dedication and lots of training
Its like any other skill..a good cook has kung fu, a good painter has kung fu, a good driver has kung fu.

Now because of the movies , kung fu became a term for chinese martial arts..the real term in cantonese would be mou seot or in mandarin more known as wu shu (written 武術 )

In chinese traditional martial arts one thing is very important its called Mo Duk Martial Virtue 武德
These moral principles are inseperable linked to the traditional chinese martial arts.
Develop a sense of order and justice, respect your parents and your master
Be polite and kind to your fellow students, help and support them
Keep a high moral character, avoid bad thoughts
Practice diligently and continuesly.
Be peaceful and patient, avoid unnecessary conflicts
Be friendly and kind to all people
Protect the weak and support the peace with your martial arts skills
Never forget from whom you have learned your kung fu
Honor the founders and always remember your master and his teachings
Loyalty to the style you practice, loyalty to your teacher (and vice versa there can be bad teachers)

These virtues are old but still can apply to modern times, however what has changed or need to be changed is the way of training, times changed and developed and we cant sit on 200 plus years old fighting principles. We need to adapt, go with the time because this is what the old masters would have done as well. The only reason why it didnt change its because there was no need to fight anymore so it became largely a exibition art. But theres more to it from the chinese cultural aspects, the rich history, the philosophy the tradition to self defense in a practical way. If you want to learn how to fight very fast do MMA or Krav Maga... its stripped down to the fighting. If you want more than that, something you can have untill old age then you are at the right address with Chinese Kung Fu or in our case Hung Gar Kuen (Hung Family Fist)
