Grandmaster Chang Tung Sheng established a Shuai Chiao belt ranking system with standardized requirements over thirty years ago. With slight modifications the same system is used today by the United States Shuai-Chiao Association. The system is similar to other modern martial arts ranking systems, with the exception of the black belt ranks, which are in reverse order. A first-degree black belt in Shuai Chiao is referred to as "9th Teng" rank.
