    I mean, kinda.

    But it's like saying proud only means a good feeling about the self.

    Kung fu has shifted in meddling meaning to refer to (depending on how you look at it) a martial art "genre" and it's original meaning.

    It's okay to use the word for both, ain't nobody gonna misunderstand you, and only pedants will give you shit over either it's original use, or that it isn't really a single martial art at all.

    kungfu is just showmanship for non-chinese audiences.
