This term does not refer to a particular style of martial arts; it commonly refers to Chinese martial arts in general. The term became popular in the late 1960s, because of the Kung Fu TV series and Hong Kong films, with Bruce Lee in particular. Kung fu was originally a term for Chinese boxing; Shaolin Kung fu refers to the Chinese style of martial arts that was developed in the Shaolin temples.
