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.
The name will depend upon the martial art. In karate it is called a kata. Other arts use the word form or poomse for a sequence.
In most Japanese Martial Arts (Karate, Judo, Aikido, Jujutsu, Daken-Taijutsu, Koppo, etc...) it's called a "Hane-age" (pronounced ha-neh-a-geh ) or in English in most circles it's called a "Kip-up" regardless of Martial Arts or whatever...

It depends upon the martial art. It can also differ based on the rank of the instructor. Japanese martial arts refer to the instructor as sensei. Sensei is Japanese for teacher, literally translating before born or one who is born before. Chinese arts use the term 'sifu.' Korean arts use the term 'saboom.'
That will depend on the school or style you are studying. The Japanese word is dojo. Other styles may use the term doha or even temple.

"Sensei" means 'one who has gone before' and is usually associated with a teacher or mentor. You can call a martial arts instructor 'sensei' in Japanese.
You don't refer to the person differently. You just refer to the person normally. Doctoral Degrees come with the title "Doctor," but Master's Degrees do not have a title. If you *want* to call me Master though, I'm okay with it. :)
Martial Artists do not have supernatural powers, however, they can, after years of training, push the human body to limits that people might call "unnatural".
Ninjitsu is a martial art that was practiced by Japanese ninjas. However, it does not always employ wearing black and killing, as the stereotype often suggests. There are some Martial Arts schools that teach Ninjitsu. Look in the Yellow Pages and call different schools to see if there is someone in your area. You can go to classes and get better and better.

To call someone a philistine means to criticize them for their lack of cultural refinement, intellect, or appreciation for the arts. The term originates from a biblical people known for their disregard of culture and the arts.
