grade, level

This term is used in Tae Kwon Do, it is actually a Korean word. The corresponding Japanese term is Kyuu as in 1st Kyuu, 2nd Kyuu etc. It is not a Dan rank, beginners start at the Kyuu level and work "down" to 1st Kyuu then the next level is Shodan or 1st degree black belt.

class

Keub is 'class' (1st class, 2nd class etc), an equivalent of 'dan' or the belt colour classification, but it is a Thai word, not Japanese, and it is related to taekwondo, not to karate, as far as I know

or maybe \'grade\' is a better word, but is definitely TWD
