IIRC it does as well as Aikido, which last I have encountered only had two "belts". (Sorry I'm a bit ignorant on the subject and my info is rusty.) Gary Del Giorno, has Ju Jistsu and Aiki-Jitsu list in his marital arts expertise. Aiki-Jitsu is a form of Ju Jitsu, he could have trained in another style of the gentle art or it could be ignorance.
On the other hand it (the Kung Fu black belt) might be way to relate the ranking to those of us who are used to Japanese and Korean ranking systems. I have encountered that a lot back in the day when Kung Fu guys came to the class to learn another style, mostly Ju Jitsu.
