These are terms/titles to respectfully address those in a kung fu community or family, including classmates, teachers, your teacher's classmates, your teacher's teacher, your teacher's teacher's teacher and so on.

"Lineage" is used here because the terms have a parallel to the language used for familial relationships. In Cantonese, there are specific terms for younger sister or younger sister, older sister or older brother, younger aunt or older aunt (in relationship to your parent) and even specifically younger or older aunt on your mom or dad's side.

詠春拳 Ving Tsun related words comes from my practice of Ving Tsun with Sifu Miguel Hernandez and the NYC Ving Tsun community. Sifu Miguel Hernandez learned from 師公 Si-Gong 梅逸 Moy Yat, who we address as our 師公 Si-Gong (Sifu's teacher), and Si-Gong Moy Yat learned from our 師太公 Si-Dai-Gong (Sifu's teacher's teacher, our kungfu great-grandfather), 葉問 Yip Man. This branch of Ving Tsun is considered be part of Yip Man family lineage.

"Day" subheadings in any word's defintion refer to my own written records. Everyone's timing and pacing is their own and this doesn't reflect any particular timeline for learning or practicing.

Words learned in 小念頭 Siu Nim Tau, the first form of Ving Tsun. These words are not meant to learn Ving Tsun from, but to be used as reference.

These are words related to concepts in kung fu, as well as words related to "kung fu life", kung fu culture.

These words refer to the different hands, hand positions and movements of Ving Tsun.

These are names for the Ving Tsun drills. Sifu: when you practice the forms, you're understanding your own body. When you practice drills and play with others, you're having a dialogue. You're being presented with questions and learning to find the answers.

Wing Chun forms will be added here as I learn.
