The origin of Kung Fu has a legendary back-story to it. It is a legendary story and is apocryphal with no evidential proof as to its accuracy. Its date can be fairly traced back to 4000 years though again one cannot vouch for the preciseness. It may seem astounding to find that a Kung Fu originated such a long time back. But now after so many centuries, it has evolved into something more. It is not just practiced for self-defense but is also exhibited in recreation shows and entertaining films.
