What's the difference between a square and a rectangle?
A square is a specific type of rectangle, therefore all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
Same as your question, same answer.Show me a man who has forgotten words, so that I can have a word with him.

Let's just say it out. Gong Fu is the term for traditional Chinese Martial Arts. Wu Shu is the term used for modern performance of Martial Arts. Even though it means litterally "martial arts", people understand it as the performance with all the flashy moves of traditional martial arts plus acrobatics. It's not meant for fighting or anything. Though it can be used that way. It is still based on traditional Chinese Martial Arts, but it is used only for performance. Wu Shu was invented to make this traditional part of Chinese culture a performance and a sport for people to have fun with and come to watch. If you know, comrades should not fight comrades. So Martial Arts were made into a sport.
Hung Gar is a style of traditional Chinese Martial Arts. Therefore it is Gong Fu. It is not for performance like Wu Shu. It's a Martial Art based on traditional methods of self defense. Simple as that.

Actually, I wouldn't make that distinction as if it were a "truth".
Depends on who you talk to... Yes most people when they here wushu, think contemporary, and when they think gong fu, they think classical, but to be clear...
Gong fu is a term often used to describe classical chinese martial arts, including hung gar. It can however be used to describe any skill attained in time. You'll here an analogy often that says a concert violinist has good gong fu in playing the violin.
Wushu on the other hand, in literal terms means martial art. Of which you can classify any martial art, of any geographic origin. Most people however, use the term to describe a contemporary form of martial arts developed for taolu competition in China, which uses more acrobatics and such than traditional styles.practice wu de
