Owen is a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Gary Davies.

Owen started training BJJ at 44 years old (proving it’s never too late to start). He also holds a brown belt in Japanese Jiu Jitsu. He favours many ‘old school’ techniques including wrist locks, scarf hold (kesa-gatame), ezekiel chokes and hip throws.

He practices both gi and no-gi jiu jitsu. He has two sons who also train BJJ which makes him an invaluable member of the Kids Jiu Jitsu program.
