How do you spell KungFu or is it Kung-Fu?

Why isn't it in yahoo's spell check? It drives me nuts trying to type it.|||It is two words: Working hard. So its Kung Fu.





But Kung fu is Mandarin; it is Gung Fu in Cantonese.|||It is just Kung Fu.I actually had the exact same problem about a month ago.XD|||Kung-Fu is the more accepted way to spell it. It is also written as Gung-Fu at times. In the 1960's when I began my martial arts training it was common to see magazines like Black Belt Magazine use either depending on what they were writing about. The difference is that there are many different dialects of the Chinese language. Therefore different spellings.





As for it not being in the spell check..... You can simply place your cursor over the word, used a right click, and select the "add word" to place it as you spelled it in the spell check dictonary.





Hope this helps!|||It's correctly spelt: 鍔熷か|||niether. its a chinese word. spell it how you want in English. it's really only spelled kung fu, gung fu, gong fu, kung-fu gung-fu, gong-fu, etc. etc. etc. to help you pronounce it. 鍔熷か this is how you spell it. kung fu, gung fu, gong fu, kung-fu gung-fu, gong-fu, etc. is how you say it|||Is Kung Fu or Gung Fu, someone show symbols, Kung mean work, is like letter "I" with horizontal strokes at top and bottom, have Li symbol at front mean strength, is like + with J at right, Fu mean master, is like inverse Y have equal sign = at top, mean work hard master a skill, signify Great Achievement, Wu Shu is Mandarin phrase mean Martial Arts, Cantonese phrase is Mou Seut, we Japanese say Bu Jutsu.|||Is Chinese phrase, so several ways spell of English, Chinese use own symbols, it just mean Work Hard and Well Master a Skill, can apply of any skill, an emperor have kung fu chef, Hokusai is kung fu painter.|||Both is wrong.


Because it's in english, the authentic spelling should be in Chinese
