    We Quit

    Justin and Chris are back for another episode of TwinJitsu — the podcast where two identical twins who happen to be Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts talk about training, running gyms, and whatever nonsense comes to mind. In this episode we cover everything from our food & fitness challenge, to whether golf counts as a workout, to some controversial hot takes about Jiu-Jitsu culture. We also talk about burnout as full-time instructors, bad medical advice in the Jiu-Jitsu world, and why the phrase “no excuses but…” shows up on every competition post. Plus Justin debuts what might be the worst Jiu-Jitsu country song ever written. If you train, coach, or just love the chaos of gym life, this one’s for you.

    Macros, Macaroni, & Mental Weakness

    In Episode 7 of the TwinJitsu, Justin and Chris kick things off with a highly requested cold open that immediately derails into freestyle rap arguments, listener comments, and being publicly called “sissies.” That comment sparks a deeper conversation about discipline, habits, and why they’ve both let fitness and routines slide while juggling business, jiu-jitsu, and life. The twins break down their modified version of 75 Hard—what they’re keeping, what they’re cutting, and why strict challenges don’t always align with real goals. Along the way, they cover calorie counting vs. diets, reading habits, recovery workouts, protein macaroni business ideas, soda addictions, underwear problems in jiu-jitsu, and why not wearing underwear under nogi shorts is a terrible idea. Things wrap up with hockey talk, goalie anxiety, questionable hygiene confessions, and a call for the audience to choose a realistic punishment if one of them fails the challenge. If you like discipline talk mixed with brother arguments, self-awareness, and just enough chaos to keep it honest—this one’s for you.

    Opening a Jiu-Jitsu Gym + Leaving an Affiliation | Episode 6 Twinjitsu Feat Kevin Johnson

    Two twins. One guest. And way too many hot takes. In Episode 6 of the TwinJitsu Podcast, Justin and Chris sit down with Kevin Johnson — brown belt, gym owner, and self-proclaimed “Brad Pitt of Jiu-Jitsu” — to talk about what it’s really like to open a school, build a brand, and eventually break away to do your own thing. Kevin shares the full story of starting a gym while still a purple belt, the fear + impostor syndrome that comes with being “the guy” in the room, and why authenticity matters more than trying to copy someone else’s coaching style (or accent 😅). We also get into: The truth about gym ownership (spoiler: not overnight success)Leaving an affiliation and what changes after the name comes off the buildingCurriculum vs “reading the room” as a coachWhy Kevin shifted hard into game-based training (and how it actually works)Teaching kids submissions safely with gamesBuilding a social media presence without turning into a fake version of yourselfParents, politics, boundaries, and why jiu-jitsu coaches aren’t therapistsFollow Kevin: 📲 Instagram: @kevinjiujitsu 🏫 Ivy Jiu-Jitsu: @ivyjiujitsu
