What is a Master?

Most posts here i agree with in regards to the marketing aspects of self titled masters. My view is that this is a more modern version of the term.
Basically its turned to $-it.

The sad thing is that with modern life one barely has the time to become highly skilled at just one of these endeavours, which has ended up erroding the term and in most cases the marketing machine has Ba$tardi$ed its validity. :mad:

Exactly I totally agree 100% with these points … it has become extremely disappointing.

sifu=master?

“Im curious - for those people that out and out refuse to use the term, do you guys call your Kung Fu teacher - Sifu ? because after all isnt this just another way of calling them master ?”

Actually,I don’t see sifu equaling Master-the term for sifu-“teacher-father” doesn’t imply “Master=Perfect=Supreme Being”

And in Martial Arts,that’s what the people who use that title imply-
