no, he was trained in tai chi chuan by his father, wing chun by yip man, and studied from personal experience to form Jeete Kune Do. He was then self trained, hence Jun Fan Gung Fu, (Bruce Lee's martial art, when translated.
he was never a belt fighter. Originally learnt Wing Chun from Sifu Yip man in HK and Chinese Martial Arts do not have belt system, still today. He sparred and learnt from other martial artist to improve what he is lack of.
Improved answer: I once heard he got "sun belt" or "belt of sun" AFTER he died. That made him the best fighter ever.
Improved answer nr. 2:
I haven't heard about Bruce Lee receiving a sun belt. But to say that the belt itself made him "the best fighter ever" is ridiculous. He put into immense energy and time to perfect his ability. A belt is merely a label of skill (for instance beginner, second best fighter or the best fighter) and in itself it's obviously pretty meaningless. Bruce Lee was very clear that he was against labels and class division.
Bruce Lee was a real pioneer in the modern day martial arts, but he actually didn't have much interest in competing.
I DON'T HAVE ANY BELT WHATSOEVER. THAT IS JUST A CERTIFICATE. UNLESS YOU CAN REALLY DO IT -- THAT IS, DEFEND YOURSELF SUCCESSFULLY IN A FIGHT -- THAT BELT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. I THINK IT MIGHT BE USEFUL TO HOLD YOUR PANTS UP, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT...
...THERE SIMPLY ISN'T TIME IN A MAN'S LIFE -- IF HE WERE TO TRAIN THE PROPER ORIENTAL WAY -- TO RECEIVE SUCH AN HONOR. IF ORIENTALS CAN'T EARN IT, SURELY AMERICANS WHO PRACTICE ONE OR TWO NIGHTS A WEEK CAN'T. I'M VERY MUCH AGAINST THIS "BECOME A HOLY TERROR IN THREE EASY LESSONS" MENTALITY.

I have the absolute confidence not to be number two, but then I have enough sense also to realize that there can be no number one. -Bruce Lee

Of course he held black belt! if there is anything higher than black belt than that is what he wore.
He holds an eight degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Bruce Lee had a black belt in Judo and also invented his own for of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do.
