Kung Fu is the original of the martial arts with a focus on striking.  In terms of complexity, Shaolin Kung Fu may be seen as the PhD of the striking martial arts, with tremendous diversity in physical movements both circular and linear.  Karate is comparatively simpler and much more linear. Classes include basic exercises and forms with an eye towards application and possibly competition.  Kung Fu is similar to Karate and Tae Kwon do in the emphasis on external (hard) power and instruction on destructive technique early followed by control.  Kung Fu also uses a number of weapons as an extension of empty handed practice.  As an ancient form, many styles of Kung Fu have developed, including long & short range, Northern & Southern styles, and more modern systems such as Wing Chun.  Exercise is often aerobic.

In Westchester County, Shaolin Kung Fu is available White Plains.  Other Kung Fu styles are available in White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers and Bronxville, for example.
