Did St. Pierre get his black belt in bjj? I just got the latest issue of Black Belt and he's wearing a black belt on his gi. I know he got his brown back in '06, but I haven't been able to find any dope on his black belt promotion. I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,
Spartan

I believe the black belt he wears is from Kyo-kushin Karate. He wears it in his walk-ins too.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

His groundwork has looked pretty damn solid in his last two bouts to me.

All the way around, St. Pierre's lookin like he's solid in every range of the game.

Oh I agree: he's always been one of the sports best strikers; but now it looks like he is WANTING to take it to the ground :)
