Which styles of Kung fu use belts for grading?

Supposedly, the belt-color thing is something that the japanese martial arts invented and not something that kung fu has. But I heard there are some styles of Chinese Kung fu that use that belt grading system like judo or karate.





Which systems of kung fu use this?|||With between 300 and 400 known styles of Kung-Fu in china how can anyone possibly answer this?|||Usually its just the Americanized versions that use them. So pretty much any one you find here in the U.S. I would suggest actually going to an original master. Not a man who calls himself a master just because he has a black belt.|||Shao-Lin Do. There is a history why Shao-Lin Do wears belts. Go to www.shaolin-do.com|||Belt grading is generally something practiced by specific *schools*, rather than whole arts. Teaching practices in kung fu are less standardized than those in many of the Japanese arts, and belt systems are more a question of teaching practice than of anything deeper.





The exception is in systems, generally more commercial ones such as Shaolin-Do, that have centralized associations that standardize teaching practice for them.
