Does anybody here know a site where I can find Chinese characteres to terminology found in Chinese kungfu?
e.g.
sifu, simo, mabo, etc
Thanks!

There’s a couple of wushu dictionaries out there for purchase but in the meantime just ask as they come up. I’m not the only one out here who speaks chinese.
sifu - teacher/master/cab driver (really. in colloqial Chinese, cab drivers are often called ‘sifu’)
simo - your sifu’s wife
mabo - horse stance, literally ‘horse step’
etc. - and so on . . . In Chinese, ‘deng deng’ ![]()
Oh my! Well here we go again with the 1000s of different ways to spell.. ![]()
Try this site for a start.
You also might want to try http://zhongwen.com. I don’t use it for Kung Fu terms that
often, but then I study a southern style and zhongwen is for
Mandarin.
