"I got my first Premium Hyperfly Gi back in 2013 and it is ageing like a fine wine. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m still wearing it in five years’ time" - Marc Grayson
History;
Started out training Tae Kwon Do and Boxing before transitioning to Jiu Jitsu back in 2009 after reading an advert in the local paper for BJJ/MMA training. Initially struggled for consistent training due to work/travel but got serious in 2013 and competed regularly from that point. In 2017 went to live in Brazil for 6 months and was awarded the brown belt by Fabiano ‘Pedra’ Victorino (Macaco Gold Team). Continued competing regularly in Jiu Jitsu up until 2019, when signed by ONE Championship for their ONE Warrior Series.
"Cross training is essential, you will really benefit from having that diversity within your training schedule" - Marc Grayson
