I started rolling jiu jitsu at 39. I’m getting obliterated 2-5 nights a week and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Waking up in the middle of the night because your body hurts from being folded up is a unique feeling. I’m going to keep surviving (barely) and keep learning. I’ve already lost 25 lbs so that’s cool.

[@TheEverydayPerspective]

That’s awesome brother! We’ve all been where you are now! Soon you’ll be helping the new guys survive! Congrats on the weight loss! 🤙🏼

[@SuperEagle112]

@@TheEverydayPerspectivethank you! I’ve gotten a couple taps on some young dudes…. And been tapped by teenagers as well. It’s really the most fun I’ve ever had that’s not family related.

[@genkisudo5999]

For those who don’t know - Owen is the UKs answer to a Gordon Ryan. Only In reality he is better because his skillset is more diverse, way better standing and he’s completely natural. Unlike Ryan. I’d Love to see them fight - I know who my moneys on ! ✊🏾

[@GiacomoFarci]

Enjoyed this episode 👍🏽

[@GrapplersSoap]

Great podcast

[@tra1in1]

It is so good to hear someone talking sense. Static drills for technique have been around for centuries. It is a proven method. Positional sprarring added to that makes your skills in bjj and grappling. These days people marketing egolical training, playing games for technique etc. all horse shit.

[@gaetanmarcelin9813]

I to am a big advocat of drilling , ecological method has proven to be very effective in competition so far but I feel like this method will not hold on the long term learning of a grappler, as you have to start from scratch in a situation like lets say , taking a break of 2 years for w/e reason ..pure fight I.Q development fades fast..

[@ape9267]

What a down to earth guy.

[@herb2078]

Top stuff gents good podcast

[@TheEverydayPerspective]

Thanks bro 🤙🏼

[@JonathanRenaud-]

was this recorded before his match with Barnett?

[@sleepytwiggaming]

Yup 6 days before

[@planedecoded]

crying laughing at the title. so fucking funny hahahaha

[@rns7426]

I love watching Owen compete. He’s a great athlete to watch! But guys, subtitles when you have this guy on, he speaks a variant of English not proper English 😂

[@TheEverydayPerspective]

😂😂 Imagine trying to interview him

[@marconopolo5723]

Awesome pod w/ Nicky Rod’s Father

[@sleepytwiggaming]

Lol

[@003halmr]

Nicky rod dominated him. I like Owen but its was not close.

[@MycoMatty]

Pretty funny he talks about how scary Big Dan is. Maybe he didnt see Tackett slap him around like a little child and got a tap in 7 minutes. At the time Andrew was a foot shorter and about 100lbs less. But then again Andrew is a fucking maniac lol fucking guy was choking bulls out. One of the best guys to watch compete. Wish he didnt hurt his back in his match with PJ. Really wanted to see Tackett and Mica in the finals of WNO.

[@tex-do1wm]

You act like Dan wouldn’t rip him apart now. 🤣🤣

[@liukang85]

35:55 could've just been mental games

[@MrOj59]

He got completely dominated by nick rod, whats he on about. He took him down 4 times and got the back at the end

[@impolitikful]

Nicky couldn't submit blokes 50 lbs lighter in quintet mate..hes not that guy

[@jdacata5126]

Jump off nicky rods D man, the goal of that match was to eliminate him and he (Owen) accomplished it, and Nicky rod didn’t do anything in that match.

[@nicholasphillips6938]

Dominated? Because he pushed him off the mat? Haha ok then

[@003halmr]

Exactly, the match wasnt close. Owen is delusional

[@rufioswitch2132]

@@003halmrthe goal was for Owen to eliminate Nicky, which is what he did. It was a game plan to not get beaten and eliminate Nicky. Not a fair example

[@tex-do1wm]

Nicky Fraud will never beat Gordon.

[@tomasodubhthaigh4987]

Couldn't watch this! Seconds in and had to put it off! The cursing and swearing! Absolutely shameless! My wee kids hearing! I train a few martial arts, bjj and Judo included. My kids do too. Guys, probably a lot of good stuff was covered here, but if we have to endure that kind of bile to get it, no thanks!

[@Notblindfaith]

😂

[@AlonzoCalPolyPomona]

Y'all should compete without steroids, and see where u really stand. Gordan is probably mediocre without great

[@BG-sj7zh]

He was beating it coming close to beating everyone before the steroids….. I’m not a fan of him either but he was great without them

[@MMABeijing]

Do u even grapple?

[@23alanmr]

Gordan is definitely all roids and no technique 😂
