The next instalment of The Grappling Dummy!
In this episode, I talk to Nic Gregoriades, a black belt under Roger Gracie.
Nic was kind enough to come down to our gym and give a BJJ workshop, and give his time to make this video.
We talk about what it’s like to train with Roger Gracie, and about the Jiu Jitsu Brotherhood (an online BJJ community).
We also have a little roll while Nic shares his philosophies on jiu jitsu.
After that, Nic does something a little different and offers a “shadow grappling” routine. Something simple that you can practice when you don’t have a partner, that allows you to continue to work on your body skills.
Nic is a great guy and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him.

I was unashamedly inspired by E. Casey Leydon of All Elbows and MMA Fighting to edit this in black and white after his awesome Joe Rogan videos.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Many thanks to Fightlinker without whom The Grappling Dummy wouldn’t exist.
Lastly, Scramble!
Filmed at the GB Academy, July 2010.
Good interview and great rolling. I really like the one person drill and the explanation and demo of the movements. The ‘overlay’ editing works really well.
nice.
Very much appreciated, thanks for the comment!
Great vid, great blog. Nic’s a fantastic instructor.
Well done Sir, as per usual.
He’s so dang agile… and really seems to like those spinning kneebars from threatening mount.
Nice to see more and more top players seeing jujitsu as the vehicle it can be!
Awesome video, just missed Nic at my academy was so bummed!. Great work Matt, looked like a fun roll.
