Project Sifu (2025) A documentary and short film directed by Wayne Wong is out on YouTube for you to watch right now!

“Project Sifu brings together the art of martial arts training and the creative world of filmmaking to inspire and empower young people in the UK. By blending physical discipline with cinematic storytelling, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of cultural heritage, promote mental and physical well-being, and address critical issues like knife crime and violence.”

What makes Project Sifu different is that it’s not about teaching kids martial arts — that’s a story we’re all familiar with — it’s about teaching them martial arts cinema. The description explains:

“WHY MARTIAL ARTS CINEMA?

Martial arts and cinema offer a unique combination of physical discipline and artistic expression. By engaging in these practices, participants not only gain physical strength and mental resilience but also learn valuable lessons in storytelling, teamwork, and cultural appreciation. This project is a celebration of these two powerful mediums and their potential to inspire and transform.”
