Etiquette

(i) If they are your instructor

If the person is currently teaching you, then you call them Sifu (No Surname).


(i) If they are not your instructor

In Chinese martial arts you call the instructor Mr Surname or Sifu Surname if they are not your teacher.

To refuse to call an instructor Mr Surname or Sifu Surname is considered to be very arrogant and disrespectful.
