is anyone able to tell me how to say this in mandarin?

Kyuhn wai jow, gwan wai si, sun dao wai fu mo.

(Fist is seed, staff (pole) is teacher,
sun and moon blades are mother and father.)

this is what i think it is so far but need help with the rest (and these might also be wrong)

kyuhn=quan
gwan=gan
fumo=fumu
and i think dao is the same in both.
i am also guessing that wai is the verb "to be" so that would be "shi"

Shi means "is" which is slightly different than "to be"

Gwan Wai Si.

Si may be Shi or teacher.
