ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sifu

Alright kiddo, a sifu is someone who teaches martial arts like kung fu or tai chi. Just like your teacher in school, a sifu helps you learn new things, but in this case it's how to defend yourself using your fists, feet and body movements. They train you to get stronger and faster so you can protect yourself if someone ever tries to hurt you. But remember, using your martial arts skills should only be a last resort and it's important to always try to avoid fighting whenever possible.
