That line is more or less a literal translation of what is said at a certain scene in Chinese. It is pretty damn powerful in Chinese, and a metaphorical translation would not work any better than a literal one because it would have to give the context of calligraphic brush-strokes in writing the Chinese characters of "kung-fu" serve as a metaphor for the philosophy of the discipline.

It's easy to deride nuances that get lost in translation, but it's an incredibly difficult — if not impossible — job trying to convey any depth of meaning without resorting to a long-winded explanation.
