Nic Gregoriades
Nic Gregoriades is a martial artist, spiritual explorer and transformational coach from Cape Town, South Africa. He has spent decades studying, traveling the world and looking deeply within for answers on his quest for self-actualization and the ultimate truths about the human experience.
A graduate of the University of Cape Town, Nic moved to London, England in his early twenties in order to dedicate himself to mastering the art of jiu jitsu. After several years of intensive training, he became the first person to be awarded the black belt by the legendary Roger Gracie. During his years as a competitive martial artist he began intensive study of yoga, exercise science, nutrition, interpersonal dynamics and meditation.
He also co-created one of England's most popular video podcasts on which he interviewed some of the brightest minds of our time. In 2012, his life was profoundly changed, after a trip to the Amazon rainforest to drink the plant medicine, Ayahuasca. The lessons he learned during that experience caused him to alter his life path and approach personal growth in a radically different way. His philosophy is now centered around continually asking the question,"'How can I give my gifts back to the world?" Nic has authored three books (The Black Belt Blueprint, Beyond the Black Belt and Aligned), is an accomplished entrepreneur having built two successful online businesses and currently the host of the Liberation Mentor/The Nicholas Gregoriades Show. He continues to teach jiu jitsu classes and seminars around the world. Nic currently lives in Los Angeles where he coaches men on how to face their fears, embrace their power and lead lives of extraordinary freedom and fulfillment.
