Assuming there is some resemblance to reality, there is a very large mental aspect to fighting. Often technically superior and physically superior specimens get overwhelmed in fights, mental attitude is a large part of it, and how your body and mind unite under the stress is another huge factor. Some people are just natural fighters. They may not like that aspect of their personality, they may run from it, they may hide it, but when pressed it is just there and they, often regretfully, enjoy it. Afterward they may be ashamed, often simply because they know for brief moment they were really their self.
So, if we overlay the above to Grimm, Nick may simply be one of those highly trained technically proficient fighters, who look great in training and on paper, but it all comes crashing in when they run up against "A" grade competition.
Renard and Truble may simply be natural born fighters. Truble seems to have been born a fighter, and now enhanced by focused training. Renard may simply be a genetic fighter out of the womb. Nick, maybe not so much. Nothing wrong with that. Some of the best instructors I ever met (who turned out excellent students) could not fight their way out of wet paperbag.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
