Haueter, who has seen the evolution of BJJ both in the United States and globally, proposes a radical reduction of the current belt system to just three levels: white, brown, and black—each with three stripes.
In a recent episode of the Combat Base podcast, Haueter discussed his thoughts on possibly revolutionizing the BJJ belt system by reducing it to just three belts: white, brown, and black, each with three stripes. His proposal was inspired by traditional Japanese martial arts, which historically used a similar system.

Haueter believes that this simplified approach would better reflect the journey of learning and mastery in BJJ. “The white belt represents the beginner stage, the brown belt represents advanced fundamentals, and the black belt represents mastery and continued dedication to the art,” he explained.

He expressed skepticism about the additional ranks, such as coral and red belts, that have become more common in BJJ over time. “Older black belts wanted to add another belt,” Haueter suggested, implying that these additional belts were created not out of necessity but because some in the BJJ community sought to extend the ranking system. Haueter’s perspective reflects his belief that such additions detract from the true essence of the journey and confuse the progression of students.
