I agree that a lot of the different schools have very lax standards for grandmaster status- also it sucks to see some guy split off/ start his own art to become an insta-master- in the style i learned from there was only one grandmaster, a 9th dan, and the minimum time studdying the art required to attain this was over 30 years of continuous study- some arts i see are led by some thiry year old guy- granted, I am a functionalist first and foremost, and some of the self appointed GM's can probably kick ass, but to me it takes a lot more to be a grandmaster.
