Calling someone "Master" is a common in Martial Arts. It's more a sign of respect than of subservients. However, it is debatable by some. Many martial arts instructors prefer a translation equivalent to "Teacher" in the respective language, such as "Sensei" in Japanese, "Sifu" in Chinese, "Sabeomnim" in Korean and so on. The belief is one truly never masters the martial arts as it is an ever learning experience.
