THE MARTIAL FAMILY

The Martial Family: Hierarchy and Tradition in Kung Fu" is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the true meaning of titles and relationships within Chinese martial arts. Rooted in the tradition of the martial family, the book reveals how terms such as Sifu, Sikong, Sihing, and Todai represent far more than technical ranks — they are living expressions of respect, responsibility, and lineage.

In a world where titles are often trivialized, this work restores the value of Kung Fu’s traditional hierarchy, offering clarity, depth, and coherence for practitioners, instructors, and scholars of martial culture.
