WNO Highlights: Rising-Star Levi Joes-Leary
WNO Highlights: Rising-Star Levi Joes-Leary
A comprehensive look at the life and times of one of jiu-jitsu's most intriguing stars.
Levi Jones-Leary was something of a phenomenon in 2019. The rookie black belt shocked the world with his upset victory of lightweight legend Lucas Lepri to claim gold at the 2019 European Championships.
The Australian followed up that early success by beating Renato Canuto in March to claim his first Pans title as a black belt. After two disappointing performances back to back at World Pro and The Worlds in June, Jones-Leary roared back to cap off the year to claim the Spyder BJJ Championship title, netting him $100K and seeing him take out two current world champions in the process.
The WNO Podcast delves deep into Levi's origins in the sport of jiu-jitsu, what it was like to train in Australia and move to the powerhouse gym of Unity Jiu-Jitsu, and training with his idols — the Miyaos. We also cover Murilo's influence on Levi's performances, 30 minutes of match analysis, and so much more.
