ROLL OR DIE – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Vicky Gonzalez is tearing up the Aussie jiu jitsu scene like a woman on a mission. 2024 was her breakout year—she took gold at Fusion FC, dominated the Pan Pacific Championship, and wrapped things up by becoming the M1 No-Gi Purple Belt World Champ. Not bad, right? Training out of M16 and Beachside in Adelaide, Vicky originally got her start in Melbourne under Marcelino Freitas. In this episode, she spills the tea on life as a competitor, what it’s like being coached by her fiancé Lachlan Conway (spoiler: it’s not all love and triangles), and how she keeps up with the grind of training without losing her mind. You’re gonna love this one!

In this episode, he breaks down the powerful connections between BJJ and mental resilience. A true pioneer of the gentle art, Ivan brings wisdom, insight, and some game-changing perspectives. Don’t miss it!

Laura Dorgan is a wearer of many hats. She is a 10th Planet black belt, co-owner of 10th Planet South Melbourne and a nutritionist to boot. In this episode Laura shares insights in her 17 years jiu jitsu journey, what it’s like running a business with your husband (and being coached by him), how she leads self-defence sessions for women with no martial arts experience and also discusses how she creates nutrition plans for MMA fighters and others. It’s always insightful to hear from a female black belt and Laura is no exception

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu South Melbourne will host its next No-Gi submission only grappling tournament on Sunday the 23rd February 2025: https://www.10thplanetsouthmelbourne.com.au/competition

It was great to share our virtual studio with Bruno Lemos (of Lemos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Brisbane). He’s a really great guy, and we love hearing about the journey of Brazilian OG’s. Bruno will not disappoint. Enjoy!

This week on the Roll or Die podcast we chatted with two of the biggest names in the Jiu Jitsu world, Levi Jones-leary and Alanis Santiago. They openly share their trials and tribulations of living the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle that doesn't always sound like a dream, but is their passion. They will be competing at the 2023 IBJJF World Championships and are both firm favourites to be on top of the podium

On this week's Roll or Die episode, we had an amazing time chatting with one of the foremost Australians competing on the world stage - Nicholas Maglicic. Winning double gold at the 2023 IBJJF Pans, and silver at 2022 IBJJF World Championships; he is without a doubt the next big thing from the land Down Under. He chats about his preparation for the upcoming 2023 World Championships, what it's like training at Atos HQ, how he stays sane as a competitive athlete and much more. But above all, he's just an awesome young man, wise beyond his years, and it was a legit coup to chat to him before he explodes on the international scene. A not-to-be missed episode!
