What is Gong(功)? Why it's almost ended at the end of most methods？

[ChiDragon]

Why is almost every method ended up with 功 at the end. Anyone would like comment on that?

That is correct.
To be more precise, in martial arts, it is something that was to be acquired, biologically or physically, from a method that requires diligent practice.

So, we have many 功(gongs). such as
1. Qigong(氣功), beathing method
2. Neigong (內功), internal method
3. Weigong (外功), external method
4. Songgong (松功) relaxing method
