Indeed, some practitioners liken Kung Fu to fireworks for display and equate Chinese Boxing with the real dynamite.

 

Wu Shu is not Wu Shu Kwan: the former is a dynamic dance-like demonstrative art, whereas the latter is a style (or school) practicing real martial art for fitness and self-defense. If Wu Shu represents a chemical element called hydrogen, then Wu Shu Kwan converts this powerful element into a mighty hydrogen bomb. [...]"
