OG Wisdom, TRT, and Alpha Male Opinions| Tap Talk w/ Kuya Ken
In this episode of Tap Talk, RJ finally sits down with his Kuya Kenneth — a legit brown belt who’s been training BJJ in California since the early 2000s. Kuya Ken has been mentioned plenty of times on the pod, but now he’s finally front and center. We talk about what jiu-jitsu was like back in the day, training in your 40s, testosterone in 2025, and the evolution of ecological-style learning.
Oh, and yes — we go there. From religious conspiracies about martial arts being “demonic” to reconnecting with Filipino roots, this one's got heart, heat, and hella perspective.
👊 Whether you're an old-school grappler, new to the mats, or thinking about TRT — this episode’s for you.
