The term 'Gung Fu', or 'Kung Fu' Kung means energy, and fu mean time. Kung Fu (or Gung Fu, in Cantonese) can be interpreted to mean 'Hard Work', 'task' or 'always learning'.So this phrase can also be applied to other skills such as music, and art. The more common terms in China are 'Wu Shu' meaning Martial Art.
