0:00.0 | What up guys? Welcome to the podcast. We've got a competitor from Great Britain on the podcast with us today, Owen Livesey. |
0:08.9 | It was a fun conversation with him. I knew a little bit about him because I've seen him a bit, but it was super interesting. |
0:15.6 | And we talk about just jih Tjitsu. He actually comes from a judo background some other stuff and so we |
0:22.5 | get into just talking about grappling and some ideas this one I what I found interesting about this |
0:26.8 | one is if you um this it felt like very much you could tell he was very like comfortable in himself |
0:33.9 | yeah because I felt like I was just having a conversation with a guy at like me and another |
