How many Wing Chun practitioners have done this form thousands of times to – after years – find something new in it. For example, the Wing Chun form, Sil Lim Tao the first form learned as a student, and the most important. I’ll try to explain it in a different way a student can learn the different movement, forms, patterns, self defense techniques, weapons etc, however this doesn’t take into account all the variations that are possible. To master something is to “learn it completely”. Having met Sifu Dana Wong & started my Wing Chun Kung Fu journey in 1999, I’ve never looked back. My own teacher Sifu Dana Wong started his Wing Chun journey back when he was a teenager, and would also humbly never claim to be a master of Wing Chun – because you never stop learning. Take Wing Chun Kung Fu for example: I have been training since 1999 in this art, teaching since 2005 – and in no way am I a master of this art. In my opinion, it would be a very rare for a Sifu in martial arts to claim to have mastered their art. Sifu is often translated as “master” – of their craft. 傅 and 父 are both pronounced “ fu” with the same tones in Cantonese and Mandarin.Ī Sifu is not only your teacher, but also your father – you respect your Sifu as you would respect your father. The character 師/师 means “skilled person” or “teacher”, while the meaning of 傅 is “tutor” and the meaning of 父 is “father”. ![]() Shifu ( simplified Chinese: 师傅 or 师父 traditional Chinese: 師傅 or 師父 pinyin: shīfu), or sifu in Cantonese is a title for and role of a skillful person or a master. ![]() Stu Dunn & Sifu Dana Wong – training has to be fun!
