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

Kyo-sa would be the Korean term for instructor.


she%26#039;s only a master if she%26#039;s tested for it.


%26quot;Ma%26#039;am%26quot; works just as well though.|||You can only call a 4th Dan or higher Master. 1 to 3 Dan should just be called Sir or Ma%26#039;am. If you want to know the Korean Terms for each see them below.

She will respect YOU all the more for showing a great level of decency and humility.|||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......|||Master. Master is genderless.
