Biography

Greg, a professional wrestler from East London, grew up in a humble family trade, working at the famous Columbia Road flower market from a young age. As a boy, Greg knew he wanted more from life and decided to pursue a career as a professional wrestler. He saved up his earnings and paid for his training, starting in 2001 and having his first pro match in 2002.

Greg's natural ability and charisma quickly made him a crowd favourite, and he rose to become one of the top professional wrestlers in Europe and the United Kingdom. He also became a successful teacher of the art of professional wrestling, running schools in the UK and Ireland that trained top-level international wrestlers.

Greg's experience in Thailand led him to explore the world of movies and stunt work, using his wrestling skills as a tool. He appeared in TV programs and movies such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Ten Dead Men", and "The Royal Bodyguard" as a stunt-based actor.

Greg further honed his acting skills at The Actors Centre in London, earning a reputation for his powerful performances. He landed roles in the Tony award-winning play "Jerusalem" and the movies "Welcome to Essex" and "The Recluse".

Feeling he could offer more, Greg developed a hybrid fight technique called "GrapFu", which combined his wrestling and acting skills. This led to roles as fight director/actor on movies "Figments", "Trails of Blood", and "The Accelerator", as well as work in advertising for Vodafone and Phileas Fogg crisps.

Greg also produced, choreographed, and directed his own "GrapFu" action movie, set for release in 2014.
