Martial Arts Rank Systems

GURPS (Classic) Martial Arts provided two grading (rank) systems for martial arts.pg 77-78 
"This skill level should be the average level of all Primary skills of the form being learned." In 4e terms this would equate to the average level of all mundane skills. There can also point total requirements regardless of average skill level.
==General Belts==
This is supposedly one of the most common belt systems used
Belt Color 	Skill Level 	Notes
White or Red	default (DX-6) to 10	
Yellow 	11 	minimum of 2 points in each of the mundane skills
Orange 	12 	
Green 	13 	
Blue 	14 	student may help to assist the class in some small ways
Brown 	14.5 	competent martial artist, who will help teach the simpler techniques
Black 	15 	All the basic techniques of the style have been mastered
==Okinawan Ranks==
Ranks are called kyu
Rank Name	Color 	Skill Level
Jukyu 	White 	10 or less
Kyukyu 	Yellow 	10.5
Hachikyu 	Orange 	11
Shichikyu	Green 	11.5
Rokkyu 	Blue 	12
Gokyu 	Purple 	12.5
Yonkyu 	Purple, Second Level	13
Sankyu 	Brown, First Level 	13.5
Nikyu 	Brown, Second Level 	14
Ikkyu 	Brown, Third Level 	14.5
==Life After the Black Belt==
Dan Rank 	Skill Level
First Dan 	15
Second Dan 	16-17
Third Dan 	18-19
Fourth Dan 	20-21
Fifth Dan 	22-23
Sixth Dan 	24-26
Seventh Dan 	25-27
Eighth Dan 	28-30
Ninth Dan 	31-33
Tenth Dan (maximum)	34-36
=== Note ===
At a practical level is unlikely any Dan above fourth would have skills much beyond 20 as anything below 4 techniques for each skill is cheaper and is a more effective use of time. This may be why 4e Martial Arts doesn't assign or even hint at what skill level belts or Dan levels equate to.
