Good question. Not that I am aware of. Bruce Lee wasn't too keen on much of the classical karate setup, with point sparring, and this may have included rank systems as well.
By the way, welcome to KF!

As far as I'm aware, no they don't. To me, that would be against the whole principle of JKD.

and me. JKD is about forming your own style. so technically, you cant be wrong.

JKD has no belts. If you have ever read the Tao of Gung Fu, there is a quote by Lee about what he thought of belts.

| Offically, there were never any belts in JKD. Some instructors/schools today institute belts or ranking systems. |
