level or rank (or whatever about the skills/techniques)

-Beginner

-Amateur

-Pro

-Champion

-Master

-God

-Creator (it's the rank/level where you are at the level of the creator of the martial art in question himself)

-Embodiment (it mean that no one is above his level in the martial art in question)

Some exemple in an RPG way :

-Beginner is F rank or less.

-Amateur is E to D rank

-Pro is C to B rank

-Champion is A rank

-Master is S rank

-God is EX rank

-Creator is Z rank

-Embodiment is ÆX rank

Of course a Champion rank can be stronger or weaker than another Champion rank if not it won't make sense. (Same for every other rank apart from ÆX rank because the ÆX rank is when there is no one above you so there can only be one people in ÆX rank).

(Also it's not because the MC know a technique that he is of the level of that technique, he would need to train in the specific martial arts this technique come from to have the same rank of it Exemple : the technique of relaxing all your muscle to punch REALLY hard (which i forgot the name of but it's used by the emperor Kaku in baki) is a technique of the Master level but can be used by anyone if you learn it (proof, Katsumi used it while he never learned Kung fu so he is at Begginer or Amateur level at best while he is at Champion level in Karate)

(Other levels/ranks will be added in the future)
