Definition
An action actor, martial arts stunt performer, or stunt coordinator in the film industry who has a martial arts background.
How it's used
Historically, this term refers specifically to stunt performers who emerged from the traditional Peking Opera training system, which emphasized both martial arts and acrobatic skills. While modern film sets use specialized stunt coordinators, the term remains a respectful nod to the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema. It implies a level of grit and professional versatility that goes beyond just performing stunts.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a generic martial arts teacher, which would be 師傅. Using this term for a regular gym instructor or a coach would be incorrect as it is strictly tied to the film industry and stunt work.
