About Greg

Greg Schaffer is the head instructor at Delta Grappling Academy and a first-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Professor Robin Gieseler, an 8th-degree coral belt and head of Gracie Ohio, promoted him to black belt in 2023.

That promotion places Greg in a direct line that runs from Robin to Grandmaster Relson Gracie, Hélio Gracie, Carlos Gracie and Mitsuyo Maeda. At Delta, it shows up in how he teaches: technique that has to work against resistance, and self-defense kept close to the center of the curriculum.

Bio to add: How Greg started training, years on the mat, competition history, and what he enjoys teaching most.
