The correct name for an instructor in Taekwondo is sabom (which is pronounced like sah-bom, not say-bom). If you want to ask your Taekwondo instructor a question, you should add the suffix nim (pronounced like neem).

The qualifications to get a job as a Taekwondo instructor include proficient knowledge of Taekwondo, teaching skills, and the ability to plan a class. To teach independently, you typically need a first-degree black belt in Taekwondo, which takes at least a few years to earn.
