Bringing the Chaos Camp is led by Owen Livesey in Phuket, Thailand on November 22, 2026. Livesey is a British black belt promoted by Carlson Gracie Jr. and head coach of grappling at Carlson Gracie Thalang Phuket, where he blends elite judo, wrestling, and no-gi BJJ. Before his jiu-jitsu career, he was a six-time British Judo Champion and a Commonwealth Games gold medalist for Great Britain at the 2014 Glasgow Games. That judo background shapes his teaching, with an emphasis on takedowns, scrambles, and chaotic top-position exchanges rather than a purely static, positional approach — hence the camp's name. Carlson Gracie Thalang sits in Phuket's well-established grappling tourism scene, drawing a mix of long-term expats and traveling practitioners. No specific gi/no-gi format or belt-level recommendation is listed for this camp, so it's worth checking directly with the gym before you pack your bags.
