Kuntao is a Hokkien term referring to martial arts practiced by the Chinese community of Southeast Asia. The word kuntao means way of the fist similar to Chuan Fa, or Fist Technique. Translating Kuntao as ‘Way of the Fist’ is too literal, it really means ‘fighting art’ or ‘martial art’.Purely Chinese kuntao styles exist in China, and Taiwan, but kuntao styles have been spread for centuries by merchants and other travelling Chinese people.
Forms of kuntao are practiced in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Borneo and the Philippines as well as in some other countries. Some kuntao styles were not changed but many were. This happened because the styles had to be adapted to a new environment, fighting in different terrain, fighting local styles, defending or fighting with local weapons.
Kuntao is a relatively little known art in Sweden. Considered by practitioners to be a form of Wushu it is often called Chinese Boxing or Kung Fu by its practitioners.
