Question

What do you call a female Taekwondo instructor? Is she called a Master as well or would you call her Mistress

Answer 1

instructer.

Answer 2

You can only call a 4th Dan or higher Master. 1 to 3 Dan should just be called Sir or Ma'am. If you want to know the Korean Terms for each see them below.

do joo nim :  founder (of the art)

kwan jang nim :  grandmaster

chung sah nim :  chief instructor (or "chief master")

sah bum nim :  instructor (or "master")

sah boo nim :  more intimate and respectful form of "sah bum nim"; literally "teaching father"

kyo sah nim :  teacher (also "seon saeng nim")

sun bae nim :  senior student

hu bae nim :  junior student

hak saeng :  student

suryun saeng :  trainee

jeja :  pupil

Answer 3

at our dojo (not Taekwondo though) we address as sir/mam (I address all students and  instructors as such, but everyone at least addresses all instructors in this manner). Also , Mr. X or Mrs/Ms X...for the instructors.

Answer 4

Master. Master is genderless.

for your convenience.

Answer 5

well you wont call her master because she is a instructor but in my school we call instructors no matter what gender just instructor follow by there last name

Answer 6

Call her Instructor ..... if you are not sure what to call her, or even better Sifu ..... which is a respectable way to say Teacher in Chinese, the same as Sensei in Japanese.

Answer 7

Ask her what is the correct way to address her. I do not know the Korean address, in Chinese it is Si-fu and in Japanese arts, Sensei (karate anyway) so best to just check. She will respect YOU all the more for showing a great level of decency and humility.

Answer 8

You address her as ma'am rather than sir, but you would still refer to her as - Master so and so

Answer 9

Sabunim.  That's Korean for "Instructor".

Answer 10

Whatever the instructors titles are in your dojo you refer to her with just the same.  These titles have no gender to them.  A sensei or Sifu or master is just that.  Call her Mistress and you may feel the pain......

Answer 11

Kyo-sa would be the Korean term for instructor.

she's only a master if she's tested for it.

"Ma'am" works just as well though.
