Quanshu
There are two parts to the Martial Arts training in the Chanquanshu schools.
Part 1. Quanshu Core Syllabus covers the area that would roughly correspond to the training of gongfu (kungfu). Training is `external’ in the early stages but then gradually transforms into `internal’.
Part 2. Taijiquan was originally included in the Quanshu area but due to its popularity has now become an entity in its own right.
The Martial Arts in China have many designations:
wushu - military arts (main name used in China today);
quanshu - boxing arts;
quanfa - boxing techniques;
gongfu (kungfu) - mis-interpretation for the word for skill.
We generally use the term quanshu.
