Van Stone Grandmaster Martial Arts Models: I don't consider myself to be a "Grandmaster" (Martial Arts). But... I am. Presenting Priyanka Chopra Collection.

A Grandmaster is a Sōke (宗家?), -or the equal of a Sōke- meaning "the head family [house],"-is sometimes used to refer to "founder of a style" because many modern sōke are the first generation headmasters of their art.

The use may be self assigned; for example having promoted a student to 'teacher' level, or may be assigned by a governing body in arts with a more formalized structure, and some do not use it at all, for historic reasons or to avoid the 'elderly master' stereotype.

Therefore, when an individual becomes the creator or inventor of a style in secret or in public he or she is a martial arts grandmaster of their art.

The grandmaster can choose to show it, or demonstrate it, or choose not to show or demonstrate the style. The individual is still a martial arts grandmaster.

A sōke is considered the ultimate authority within their art and has the authority to issue a certificate indicating that someone has mastered all aspects of the style. However an issued certificate indicating that someone has mastered all aspects of the style is not a must- verbal indicating that someone has mastered all aspects of the style can be good enough.
