Belasko Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 My experience is that it varies from style to style and organization to organization. In the Chung Do Kwan Alliance the title of master is applied at either 5th or 6th dan (I've been told both). Grandmaster is applied only to those that have achieved 9th Dan. So far I have only met a small handful of actual masters, none of whom insisted on being addressed that, and only 2 grandmasters. Getting a blackbelt just says you have learned the basics and are ready to actually study the form as an art.
