sandan
Martial arts rank
Sandan is the third-degree black belt rank in Japanese martial arts such as judo, karate, and aikido.
The term combines *san* (three) and *dan* (rank or grade).
A sandan typically represents several years of dedicated training beyond the initial black belt: She earned her sandan after twelve years in the art.
