Question

Does Kung Fu has a little gymnsactics in it???

Answer 1

Well, here's the thing... Kung Fu is a broad term that can mean "skill" or "hard work" that's used to describe wushu, which is simply "martial art" (in the broadest sense, any martial art).

To add to the confusion, there's a sport wushu (aka contemporary wushu) that competes in both contact form and in demonstrations. In this, there is a (for lack of a better term) grading category called nandu ("difficulty moves"), so people add acrobatic maneuvers in to score better points.

Certain arts have tumbling and may have minor acrobatics in a training capacity, though the application may be more difficult than it would appear.
