Nicholas Maglicic Biography

Nicholas Maglicic was born on October 17, 2000, in Sydney, Australia, and grew up in Sutherland Shire, also in his native country.

As a child, Maglicic was always active in various sports, including squad swimming, football (soccer), and baseball. Jiu-jitsu appeared at the age of 12, an idea introduced by his father at the time.

To kickstart his jiu-jitsu tuition, Nicholas’ family elected a historic figure in Australian grappling, Rodney Ellis, of Nova União, who followed Maglicic’s development from white to brown belt.

Although Ellis guided Nico for much of his grappling life, Nicholas always cross-trained in different gyms and styles, which included judo – a sport in which he earned the rank of brown belt by the time of this bio’s latest update (July 2022). Maglicic also trained in a variety of academies having a particularly strong bond with Grappling Education, as well as Sydney Wrestling Academy and MyBJJ Lidcome. Additionally, Nicholas was a member of the “Secret Kumite”, a group of people from all over Australia who train together at these three gyms.

Nicholas Maglicic is mostly known, internationally, as a member of André Galvão‘s team Atos Jiu-Jitsu. Nico first visited the academy for a training camp in 2019 as a purple belt, shortly after he finished high school. During the following years, Nicholas traveled to the Atos Jiu-Jitsu HQ in San Diego, California on different occasions for training camps ahead of major IBJJF tournaments.

On June 5th, 2023, after his victory at the IBJJF World Championship, coach André Galvão promoted Nicholas Maglicic to the black belt rank.
