What is a Sifu?
The general definition of Sifu is "Teacher". However, a Sifu is more than someone who trains apprentices, instructors, or oversees the in-depth training of an art. A Sifu is a mentor, coach, tutor, advisor, counselor, example, leader, authority, sage, guru, master, specialist, authority, connoisseur, scholar, technician and much more. A Sifu is a guide who is passing on the tradition and philosophy of the art as a way of life, not just the techniques themselves. The term takes on a more intimate context when a student becomes a formal student or disciple of the teacher. The acceptance as a student is a very formal event, usually requiring a discipleship ceremony called bai shi. After the ceremony, the relationship is defined as a more direct familial context and usage takes on this term rather than a generic sign of respect.
