Kung Fu is an ancient Chinese martial art and world renowned for its principles of teaching ethics and aesthetics, standing out with a profound philosophical singularity poured into values. However, very little literature deals with these issues deeply. In this qualitative study a systematic review was carried out in order to identify the literature on ethical and aesthetic education through Kung-Fu. We found 36 articles and almost all approach ethics and aesthetics in a generic and abstract way. Only four were in Portuguese. Many cite ethics and aesthetics as historical philosophical aspects, but do not address these issues when they enter sports competitions.

Keywords : Kung-fu; Ethics; Aesthetics; Systematic review; Philosophy of sport.
