Kung Fu (or „Gong Fu“) is usually translated as „hard work“. Gongfu originally referred not only to the martial arts but also to other areas and ultimately to the whole of life, referring to virtually every „skill that comes about through hard work over a long period of time“ – all aspects of human life require hard work and time. This is what „Kung Fu“ actually means. In order to obtain „Kung Fu“ in the Chinese martial arts, regular training over a long period of time is necessary. And this is best structured, systematic (uplifting) and „with content“, i.e. not just stupid repetition „without spirit“. „Gongfu“ then comes practically automatically – but only if you train „correctly“ as described above. You can also train „wrongly“ for decades without „Gongfu“ setting in „automatically“. And in a certain sense, the training never stops – even if you have reached „Gongfu“, although you can refine it anyway until the end of life.

The Zhan Zhuang system works on the mind in two ways-, some of the exercises calm the mind; others aim to strengthen the power of the mind. You cannot accomplish the second without having achieved the first. Therefore, anyone starting Zhan Zhuang training must first work on calming the mind. Ultimately, you need to develop your mental control to the point where your mind can make your body relax precisely at the moment that your whole system is subjected to the greatest possible stress on it. This makes Zhan Zhuang one of the most personally demanding exercise systems ever developed. It requires an extraordinarily high level of synchronization between the mind and body.

Although there is no obvious movement, they are deeply engaged in one of the most demanding and powerful forms of exercise ever developed. It is so utterly focused on deep, internal growth that it literally requires learning to stand like a tree. It is known in Chinese as Zhan Zhuan, „standing like a stake“, or „standing like a tree“. It is pronounced „Jan Jong“, or, in southern China, „Jam Jong“.
