What's the best belt/ranking system out there?

I know some people think belts are useless but they have their pros from a business/teaching perspective for the feedback and the extra money lol Regardless, I am curious, of all I've seen BJJ's seems to be the one that makes the most sense

in uechi-ryu karate it's white, green, brown, black with each color having 3 stripes of the next color

>YOU HAVE TO ATTEND AN ACADEMY FOR YEARS BEFORE YOU GAIN RANKS
yeah, practice and discipline is good. but where is the fine line between your milking me for money and i could beat your ass "sensei".

Mine:
>no belt
>white belt = can beat average people up
>gray belt = can beat fellow practitioners
>black belt = understands it enough to teach it
>cool looking red/green/blue belt = $500
>lgbt belt = $1000

Bjj either needs one more belt or one less
As it stands brown belt is kind of nebulous, it feels like it's just there to stall for time because there aren't any other objective hills to climb skills wise

I liked this guy's channel but then he accidently cut his knuckle off with a band saw or some shit

That was a good watch, surprising that the channel has so few views and likes

? It's the simplest, most recent and hardest one to get to black

>hardest one to get to black
Because they gate keep it instead of using skill as a metric
In order to get a black belt you need to play politics that's how it works

You will find way more really bad black belts then you will purple belts because purple is the last merit based one, everything after that is just buddying up too whoever is giving them out

You really out here defending blowjob-jutsu's belt system? No one can functionally tell the difference between brown belts and black belts skill-wise. Many would argue that the brown belt shouldn't exist, as it's only a way to gatekeep black belts.

white belt: dog shit babby you don't know anything stop talking
blue belt: you know what you're /supposed/ to be doing in every major position but still suck cock most of the time, at least you're not a total buffoon anymore
purple belt: you're expert level at something, could be anything, but there's a thing you can do that's as good as anybodies
brown belt: erm well I guess it's like that except more things? like at least 2 or 3 lol idk??
black belt: erm well I guess it's a few more than that? but also maybe not lol

Just use the same white belt that gets colored yellowish with sweat, then red-brown with the blood of thy enemies and then it turns black due to it being rotten.

No belts. Let everyone spar and fight each other and an hierarchy will naturally form
