Owen Livesey: Polaris, Judo in no-gi grappling and starting Carlson Gracie Hull 

He is 1000 percent right about Judo and the pressures of competitions. Anyone that has done judo at a high level will understand this interview fully

Really interesting to hear about the cross over from judo to BJJ. Great interview.

I really like listening to Owen and his training philosophy!

The more I watch owens matches and content I like him more and more. His style is exactly what I strive to be like, I’m a top player as well and know exactly what he is talking about when he talks about Carlson Gracie top pressure! Definitely one of my favorite grapplers

Love this dude’s style and philosophy. Really nice to hear someone who sees all the similarities while showing respect to each form independently. Real martial artist. Also hearing him is a trip. He’s from my Dad’s hometown and the accent takes me back to my childhood.

Really cool listening to his views, very motivating. My father was a judo black belt and competed as a young man in the late 70s early 80s, I got him tickets and we went to the olympics to watch he was blown away at how different it was he said exactly the same that it’s a completely different sport.

Great stuff

I trained a few times with Owen at aspinall bjj back in the day. Great to see how he's grown into a top competitor and coach. Articulate and sensible, well done lad.

really interesting interview

Great interview. Very interesting, honest guy.

I wish more gyms in the states had this mentality, unfortunately the mighty $ always wins.

He should push the mma he could be a top fighter

hes alot like Travis Stevens

Cross training for best results
