Meet The Founding Masters Of The Best LSMA Light Sword Martial.Arts Near Me
When you dedicate yourself to a Chinese system and to a particular instructor, you become part of a "kung-fu family". Sifu means your "teacher-father" (your personal instructor), Si-Gung is your "teacher-grandfather" (your teacher's personal instructor or sifu's sifu), Si-jo would be your si-gung's teacher, or your ancestor, forbearer, etc. in the system.
There is another word pronounced "si-fu", but written differently in Chinese, that simply indicates that one has mastery or accomplishment in a skill. In this sense any instructor can be referred to respectfully as "sifu", even though they are not your personal sifu (teacher-father).
Sijo: The founder of a martial arts system. In Chinese sijo means “greatgrandfather” or great-grand-teacher. Adriano Emperado is the sijo of Kajukenbo.
Sifu: Teacher or martial arts master in Chinese. Derived from si meaning teacherand fu meaning father. A woman instructor may be referred to as simu or“teacher-mother” but this can also mean the sifu’s wife. Same as sensei inJapanese.
Alternative forms: shifu (from Mandarin), see 師傅／师傅 (shīfu)
Etymology: From Cantonese 師傅／师傅 (si1 fu6-2, “master”) and 師父／师父 (si1 fu6-2, “my master”), both also conveying the sense of teacher.
Noun: sifu (plural sifu or sifus)A pair of Cantonese terms, homophones, used in English to mean "master" or "teacher" in the context of martial arts, especially kung fu and tai chi, also used to denote "spiritual father" in esoteric uses.
Synonyms
(martial arts): sensei
