Well in ancient chinese the term kungfu(gongfu in pinyin) means something achieved through hard effort and hard work.So therefore any chinese martial art can be referred to as kungfu,that includes taijiquan,baguazhang,wudangquan and all the rest.Although taijiquan is a softer form compared to shaolinquan for example,therefore it's classified as an internal martial art,but it could still be called kungfu.So don't get mad at people calling taiji kungfu,because it is achieved through hard work.

kung fu is a general term for all chinese martial arts, so taichi is a form of gong fu or kung fu.
