Kung fu terms What is really interesting is that, before I started learning Pu tong hua, I had been learning Kung Fu for three years. All of the terms are in Chinese, for example: Tong Sao Pak Sao Pak Da Fook Sao Si Num Tao Biu Ji Chi girk Bong Sao Chum Kiu Biu Ma Bit Ma These are universal terms for Wing Chun kung fu movements, but I am wondering now that I am learning Mandarin, what Chinese language they are? Does it sound to anybody as more Cantonese? Does anybody know what dialect this is? I know that Wing Chun is from Foshan. - William

Foshan is in southern China, and I think their dialect there is similar to Cantonese, but not identical.

I speak cantonese, but I have never written cantonese, so I look not to understand the terms you write.
