Ashcrafts Rank Structure
All traditional Martial Arts Styles employ a system of rank. Rank is a way of displaying the progress of each student of the Martial Arts. In the United States most believe the the ultimate goal is to obtain a black belt. In traditional Martial Arts training there are 10 degrees of Black Belt. The highest rank obtainable is 10th dan, Grand Master. Below is the rank system used by Ashcrafts.
