Oh, I wouldn't go that far, Terry. But thank you, that's nice of you to say. :asian:

I am inclined to the 1-4 dan ranks
5-6 is master, 7-8 is grandmaster etc.

Associate is a preface to titles usually above senior. what about renshi, kyohsi, hanshi following up to grandmaster?

With all the attention it has gotten around here, how could they have left "soke" out?:angel:

They're Japanese specific, and we have Korean, Chinese, Filipino, and other stylists on MT.

I think that this would be really nice:

Martial Talk Black Belt (Minimum Posts: 500)
Martial Talk 2nd Black Belt (Minimum Posts: 700)
Martial Talk 3rd Black Belt (Minimum Posts: 900)
Martial Talk Instructor (Minimum Posts: 1000)
Martial Talk Chief Instructor (Minimum Posts: 1500)
Martial Talk Teacher (Minimum Posts: 2000)
2500 = Martial Talk Senior Teacher
3000 = Martial Talk Master of Arts
3500 = Martial Talk Senior Master
4000 = Martial Talk Chief Master
4500 = Martial Talk Grand Master
Martial Talk Grandmaster (Minimum Posts: 5000)

Instructor being someone that would be capable of instructing in what they have learned whereas a teacher is a fully capable practicioner that can understand and adapt, fully capable in all aspects of art etc. Just under the distinction of a master...
Just an idea..

Why not scrap the belt rank idea and have word rankings?

e.g.

20 posts - apprentice
1000 posts - grand master etc

 

[tellner]

2500
3000
3500
4000
4500
Martial Talk Grandmaster (Minimum Posts: 5000)

and, as you can see, 2500-4500 have no titles.

hmmm

2500 - needs to get out more
3000 - needs a life
3500 - keyboard warrior
4000 - distinguished keyboard warrior with chocolate sprinkles
4500 - Ancient Order of Logorrhea

:wink1:

I went outside once.

The graphics were NOT as good. :lol2:

We were one of the first martial arts boards to set post count levels up as belt ranks. I've found in the years since we launched that other sites have used the same idea. Right now, dunno how I feel about radically changing things. Folks got weird everytime I'd reorder em. lol!

Can you make mine "I am a White Belt Pain in the Rear-end"?

 

[Lisa]

I could change your custom title...

Hmmm, I thought there was a character limit, You might only get to "I am a White Belt" which could get some people upset. Although funny to me.
