i.e

black belt = ????
2nd degree black belt = ?????
founder of system = punong guro (at least that's what I was told from a friend of mine when I asked what it translate to in tagalog. She said like principal of the school. So punong guro is like the head of the school, the founder(ie: Punong Guro Edgar Sulite of Lameco Eskrima). But then again for each school/academy/dojo... punong guro could be the chief instructor I guess)

mataas ng guro = wouldn't that mean like highest teacher.. aka grand master.

just curious as as the names/ranking/titles in fma confuse me.

thanks,
paul
