Teacher's ranks is a good indicator of quality/progress of Kendo in a country (outside Japan and Korea). There are only a few countries that can have 7-dan sensei and even in those, lower ranked teachers are still (somewhat) common.

To be fair, you'd have to make separate threads for each area... I mean, I voted for 7-dan, but I also live in Japan, which I imagine would skew the statistics a little.
