Graeme has been studying the martial arts since aged 13, training in Judo, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Martial Arts; as part of a lifelong plan to become Batman.

He began training under Guro Marc ” Crafty Dog” Denny and Guro Benjamin “Lonely Dog” Rittiner in 2006 when he made the trip to Bern to fight in the first Euro Gathering. Since then he has fought in both Europe and the US on a number of occasions, became the first person in the UK to be both accepted into the Dog Brothers tribe and be allowed to teach DBMA, and in 2009 became the first full Dog Brother from the UK. After a 4 year Hiatus in which he completed his Undergraduate Degree in Technology and Education in 2012, he moved to Aberdeenshire, resumed his study of muay thai and became an active member in the Aberdeen clan lead by Guro Point Dog.
