Karate belt level (3)

I believe the answer is:

dan

(Other definitions for dan that I've seen before include "Level of proficiency in Japanese martial arts" , "Level of competence in judo" , "Expertise level in juso" , "Man's name; judo grade" , "Grade of proficiency in judo" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the LA Times.
