Graham Cook
Graham entered the gentle art roughly around 2008. As a part-owner of Canterbury Sports Performance gym and a then big lad at over 100kg he walked in confident. However, a purple belt friend swiftly showed him everything he didn't know and G was instantly hooked. Powerlifting took a back seat and jiu-jitsu took over.
Graham's fuelled by a thirst for knowledge which is great given that back then resources were scarce and you relied on coaches, training partners, and waiting for DVDs in the mail. No Instagram 10s videos for G!
