Kung Fu Family Terminology: Sifu - Used to refer to the teacher of the speaker’s generation, a Teacher, or a Master of the art. Also a father figure. It used to imply more of a master of the system, but now a days it just means “teacher” more than anything as many Sifus have not masterd the art. SiGung - Teacher/grandfather, used to refer to your teacher’s teacher. SiTaiGung - Your teacher/great-grandfather in the system. SiJo - Grandmaster or Founder of the system. SiMo - Wife of the Sifu. SiSuk - Teacher/younger uncle, used to refer to the sidai of sifu, a student of the same generation as your sifu, but who has started later than your sifu has. SiBak - Teacher/older uncle, used to refer to the sihing of sifu, a student of the same generation as your sifu, but who has started earlier than your sifu has. SiDai - Younger brother, used to refer to a student of the same generation who has been studying for a shorter time than the person speaking. Seniority here is determined by the time spent in the school, not by the technical ability or level achieved – so, a student who has started after the speaker, but has surpassed him, would still be a sidai to the speaker. SiHing - Older brother, used to refer to a student of the same generation who has been studying for a longer time than the person speaking. In the Ving Tsun tradition, most titles do not have male and female distinction. For example: A SiHing or a Sifu can be a man or a woman.

These drills also serve to enhance a student’s understanding of Ving Tsun principles. Below are some of the two-person drills and hand/foot techniques typically taught to Ving Tsun students.
