Some things you should know about "kung fu":
1.) Kung Fu was used as a blanket term to describe one's mastery in a particular field through hard work. So if someone was a master basket weaver, they would be said to have strong kung fu.
2.) When talking about the martial arts of China, wushu would be the word you'd be looking for. Wushu literally means martial(wu) arts(shu).
The style I'm learning is Eagle Claw, and it consists of breaking, choking, and locking joints to name a few. Recently, because of the snow and my own laziness, my skill level has gone down considerably. I'm definitely not pleased at all. I don't want to say where I think I've dropped to, but it's not good. Regardless, the only solution would be to train until I'm past where I was.
I also take Yang style Taichi. I'm bad at it, and it helps my Eagle Claw training out substantially, but I'm more out of practice with Taichi than I am in Eagle Claw.
Either way, the solution I've come up with was to train. Everyday.
