Ta-Yu Fa Men Chuan Lung Pek Pai Doi Con is divided in
two parts:
1. The
physical where the level acquired is defined by colored
belts.
2. The philosophical part where the individual’s mental
capacity is challenged.
Each belt has a specific significance but is only a physical
way to mark the right of passage of the practitioner. The
following is a list of the diverse ranks and the level they
occupy in the style.

Ranks |
| |
|
In traditional Shaolin, ranks
were not formally utilized. A practitioner was recognized
for his or her qualities and progress as well the role they
played in the school. For this reason, the designations of
the titles vary within each Shaolin family. Here you will
find several system versions, they are each valid and
cohesive within a given system.
