Can someone tell me the english meanings of Sifu and Sigung?
Also are there different Chinese names for female instructors?
Thx in advance

Sigung is like your teachers teacher, usually synonymous with master.
Sifu is a teacher of a physical skill. Like a coach.
I'm not sure on the female instructor. I've heard Si Mui, but I think thats canonese.
In chinese the polite way to call an older woman is their surname and then "wife"
Johnson Wife, how are you doing?
