Denny Prokopos on if a No Gi Black Belt is also a Black Belt with the Gi

 

 

Denny Prokopos sits with Budo Jake and discusses being a black belt in No Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

Prokopos was the very first Jiu Jitsu black belt graduated by Eddie Bravo, and the first black belt from Bravo’s 10th Planet system. Denny is also one of the most talented Nogi Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the United States having won several important tournaments such as the World Nogi Championship (brown belt) and the FILA World Grappling tournament.

Although his grappling titles and experience are respected, Denny has been criticized by some parts of the BJJ community when he trained with Caio Terra and Jean Jacques Machado wearing the black belt with his Gi.
