Master of Masters


Explanation:
Karşılaştığım literatürde, okuduğum kitaplarda, izlediğim filmlerde ve genel kültüre dayanarak bunu Master of Masters olarak öneriyorum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(college)

A Master (or in female form Mistress) is the title of the head of some colleges and other educational institutions. This applies especially at some colleges and institutions at the University of Oxford (e.g., at University College) and the University of Cambridge (e.g., at Jesus College and Mistress at the former women's college Girton College).

Hocaların Hocası...

Hoca = not necessarily "Teacher", but more likely an "Instructor" or someone who has achieved the utmost perfection of an art, a senior of a profession but who also instructs these skills to other juniors. A true "Master" of his art. For example: "Karate Hocası" or "Satranç Hocası".

Hoca = Someone who has mastered his skills to become both the best in using his skills and in teaching them.
