Kyu and dan grades
Hi there. I've been working on Judo-related articles, and I'm wondering what the convention is for Romanizing kyu and dan grades. For example, I have seen 初段 rendered as both 'Shodan' and 'Sho-dan', and I'm wondering if I should use a hyphen or not. CanadianJudoka (talk) 17:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
