For more than over the last year, Nicholas Meregali has been focused exclusively on no-gi training and competition…
However, that didn’t stop him from entering the Pan Ams 2023 event – and from winning the double gold!
And yes. He did it with less than three weeks of gi-specific preparation.
His coach, John Danaher, reflected on Meregali’s dominant display of skill:
Nicholas Meregali won double gold today in Orlando at the annual IBJJF Pan Ams event. .
It was one of the most dominant displays of gi Jiu-Jitsu since the legendary Roger Gracie performances of 2009-10.He won every match by submission from Mount or Rear Mount, save the final of open class which he won by sweeping, passing and mounting his very talented rival.
It is incredible to think he did this with less than three weeks preparation after focusing primarily on no gi Jiu-Jitsu for the last year.
His Jiu-Jitsu skills and charisma are unmatched on the gi competition circuit and he showed this weekend that he is continuing to improve.
