You don't know what the focus on

He hit some fucking heroin
He ain't stopping while I was like, you see

What's that motherfucker?
What?
Wednesday morning I got the beautiful talented
and in Hollywood they use, oh she's amazing
and the chick ain't done shit,
you get to check the grandparents every month.
But you're the real deal, Miss,
I want to welcome to the show Miss Keeta, Megan.
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
You just do everything, you just do everything
and over the last year,
I've really been impressed with your Facebook,
we met through Becky while they were doing
the Jiu-Jitsu podcast and then I was telling you
that I met you briefly, I was in a rush
and one night I was at the store
hanging out, talking by the wall
and I see this amazing looking woman walk in
and I look close and I go, I fucking know her
and it was you and you were dolled up
and I hugged you and I remember getting a weird energy
from you and telling Becky like
she's the real deal or something
and then I didn't see you much, you know
and we lost contact, I followed you on Facebook
and you're just, oh, you never complain.
In fact, you wrote something a few weeks ago,
months that you have to put action behind your faith
and I nearly died when I read that,
it's like you in a fucking super wrestling costume
and it's when I talk about people that people want things
but they don't commit to the universe
or you get nothing back.
Those words can't be any truer,
put action behind your faith.
You never complain about color,
you never complain about nothing.
It's always you knocking the fuck out of somebody
or the black guy getting beat up on a HBO show
with 104, right?
So your second season?
So you were born and raised here?
Born and raised in San Fernando Valley.
How old was the first time you walked
into a martial arts studio?
I was five years, six, five years ago, four years ago
in 10th planet.
Yeah, I did not grow up a martial artist at all.
What did you grow up doing?
Track, basketball and gymnastics.
College?
All the way through college.
Four years, degree?
UCLA.
Fucking amazing.
What's your major in?
Theater.
And was martial arts on your radar at all then?
Nothing, what did you do for exercise?
Track, basketball, yeah.
So when you weren't fucking out, you were running?
Yeah, exactly.
Would you run all year?
I'm a sprinter, I ran the 400,
so I would always be in the gym
or training on the track, yeah.
I saw pictures of you running on your Facebook
with a fucking bikini on the beach last week.
I couldn't show my daughter that.
Because I show everything you do.
It's really weird that you just, it's not stopped.
I tell people that in this town,
you have people who are fakers,
that they come to you, they wanna meet for coffee,
and they wanna blow smoke up your ass.
And then there's people who would do us.
And you don't hear from them,
they check in with you from time to time,
but they're always doing it.
And they promote it in a way that's very lightly
and not like, look at this fucking chick again,
it's in your face, you know what I'm saying?
There's nothing worse than somebody shooting a scene movie
and they're taking pictures every day of Dauph Lundgren
at 60, nobody wants to see Dauph Lundgren at 60 no more.
This movie's gonna get released in Germany.
Don't show nobody, I wouldn't show anybody.
If I did a movie that was gonna get released in France,
I wouldn't show nobody, you understand me, mind your business.
I'm not part of it, I don't know nothing.
I've done a thousand bad movies, I don't know nothing.
Like I did it basically for SAG insurance.
Like I just need SAG, but now I've been with SAG
over 10 years, so I'm vested.
So I get level two.
How long have you been with SAG for now?
Since 97.
God damn, you got me by a year.
Oh no, maybe together, yeah, 97.
97.
When did you, so you graduate UCLA,
when did you book your first acting?
I booked my first acting gig at a high school.
So my senior year in high school,
I had to take an elective
because I was on an accelerated program
to get out of school early because of what happened to me.
So I had no interest in acting,
but I didn't want to do woodshop,
I didn't want to do cooking,
so I was like, I guess I'll just take drama.
And I loved it, it made me,
it helped me with the PTSD that I was suffering from.
And at that point, I knew that's what I wanted to do.
Nothing else made me feel good.
What happened at some point in your life?
My freshman year in high school,
I got bullied by eight black girls,
and then they ended up beating me up,
broke my jaw, my shoulder blade, four of my ribs.
They were stomping so hard on my body
that my pancreas and my liver were obliterated.
This is here in the San Fernando Valley.
Yep, North Hills, Monroe High School.
And was it like a gang?
No, it was just a group of girls that hated on me.
I'm half black, and I have long hair and white skin,
and they didn't like that.
And what was your first reaction
when you were in the hospital?
You know, the bullying had gone on for so long
that the day that it happened,
I kind of just surrendered
because I was so fucking over it.
I really was, I was so over hating going to school,
hating waking up, just I literally hated school
all of my high school, all of those years.
And when it finally happened,
I was just like, just glad it's over.
Like as sad as that to say, but I was just happy.
Was any vengeful thoughts in your heart, I mean?
No, I didn't really even have a vengeful thing.
I was just sad and mad at the world
that people like that existed.
No brothers, no sisters.
I have an older brother, if you get involved.
He didn't, because right before that happened,
my parents got divorced.
So he was in Redondo Beach,
and I lived in the valley with my mom.
Now, after this happened, charges were pressed?
Yeah, I sued L.A. U.S.D.
Okay, and the girls were not allowed to stand by you?
No, they, I never went back to that school.
I left the school district, then I went to Redondo,
and I never saw them again,
other than the trial and the deposition.
And it was just a bad experience all the way around.
No, it definitely is, I had a woman's age at that point.
Now still, you're an actress, nothing's going on.
You're still not taking a fucking Taibo class.
No, I took Taibo.
I did take by the Taibo, what was his name?
Billy Blanks.
Okay, so Billy Blanks.
I'm Ventura.
I'm Ventura, okay.
So you took this Taibo at this point?
Just for exercise, not really thinking.
The last thing on my mind was that,
oh shit, I need to know how to defend myself.
I don't even know why that never happened.
I think I was just, I was so sad.
I was so depressed, like literally I was suicidal,
like I just, I hated life, I hated my life,
and I didn't understand how I was dealt that card,
like for real, this is my life,
like my mom got hit by a car, my parents get a divorce,
and now I'm getting beat up for something I can't help,
like dang, this world sucks, I don't want any part of it.
The girls that beat you up, were they white?
Black girls.
Black girls, tremendous, tremendous.
Black on black crime.
Black on black crime.
All the shit black people have gone through over the years,
and you see black on black crime,
it's just the biggest mind fuck, it's like for real.
Yeah.
Like when I watch all these documentaries on the Crips,
like I got locked up with a big time Crip,
and I loved him, he was my brother, and I loved him,
and we got out, like six months later,
he calls me, I'm out of the halfway house,
I'm about to have a kid,
and he would give me piles of money,
like he just loved me, we became partners in there,
and he was into nuttabuddies at the time he had.
I love nuttabuddies.
Listen to me, he had legit guys, legit.
He had seven women that he was supporting,
and five of them had, were babies,
mom was, this is 1987.
He was paid.
He was beautiful.
Dang.
He was a beautiful young brother with dreads,
like the cornrows, you know, and he Cuba, Cuba,
he would have, like, this is the only expression,
he had bitches on lock down,
like he would have one visitor, me and him,
I made him my assistant in the stock room, so.
Just imagining six people to support.
Dude, this was on bag, ready to go.
I had him in the stock room, I loved him so much,
and the kitchen staff was all black,
that I got him a job in the stock room with me,
and that's when the stock room blew up,
because me and him were holding steroids
in charge of the big, you know,
he was one of those black dudes that was sagging
and would never wear a shirt.
Yeah, so he saw his whole butt crack.
He was just yoked naturally, but not really yoked,
he was model yoked.
Okay.
Like he was a black model, he didn't even know,
he was out there slinging cocaine from LA to Denver,
so he got pinched on federal coke,
and he had seven bitches on lock down,
and Lee, one wouldn't come.
Like so, on Monday and Tuesday,
me and him would have had visitation.
I would make Kathy come from 11 to one,
no panties on, I would have dressed,
and we could eat lunch, and then there was a little window,
so I could give her a stab,
and we'd just look out the window, like at the guards,
and then Kathy would leave at one,
and Torrey Piles was his name, God bless his soul,
I looked him up, I don't know what happened.
He would bring one of his ladies in from one to three,
and then another one from three to like six,
and he would have sex with them both.
And one day, you know, he was a fucking varial,
and we were both the same age, 26, 27,
he was short of a million there,
all of them had fucking cars,
like we were talking about cars,
and he said, my one bitch drives that car,
she's holding it down for me and shit like this,
and me and him at night would hang out and eat
another brother's, and it was just crazy.
It was just crazy, then he got out of jail,
and he calls me up at night,
he gives me like two G's and a little bag of Coke,
and he shows up again one night,
and he goes, come on, take a ride with me,
and it was just me and him in the car,
and he goes, switch with me,
and like, what do you want me to switch with you for?
He goes, I got to shoot up this place,
stay and pay me my big, and I drove,
and he just shot the place down with a machine gun,
then he drove me home, like that happened.
This is allegedly people who,
he didn't kill nobody, he just shot the building down
like a two in the morning, they was closed,
he just wanted to shoot it down and give him a message,
and I never saw him after that,
I thought I was like, you know what?
This sounds like trouble.
My days, my days are done with this shit,
but I love them, I love them yet,
I don't even know how we got on this topic,
it doesn't matter.
Black on black crime, black on black crime,
there we go.
There was so much of it in that jail,
and it would piss me off like when brothers
had gotten to arguments and the ego and shit,
and there was two main ones, it was a graveyard,
that was what he called himself,
because I put motherfuckers in a graveyard and shit,
and then the other guy was a Spencer Antoine,
and they were the self-proclaimed leaders,
and they didn't cross each other's paths and shit, hilarious.
That was like bloods and crypts?
No bloods and crypts in there at that time,
and if there was, they were at peace.
I thought you said the first guy was the bloods.
My brother was the crypt, my brother at the time
was a crypt, that's the way it worked out,
but I guess in there they had a truce,
and they would call each other slobs,
that's what the bloods backwards is, slobs,
I don't know, I don't get involved,
I just want to eat your food, you know what I'm saying,
that's it, I just want to eat your nut of butter,
talk about whether.
Give you a nut of butter.
Yeah, so then you started acting,
when did you book your first thing,
you said right out of high school?
Right out of high school, an independent film.
And you just kept going after that.
Yeah, I loved it.
Playing someone else was always better and easier for me,
because I had so much self-doubt and hate
after what happened and after my life,
I just, I didn't like this,
so playing someone else was always easier.
What made you walk into a 10th planet,
what year is this now, when you walk into 10th planet?
This was three and a half, four years ago.
I had an audition to for.
So 2014.
Yeah.
A 10th planet for an audition and I booked the audition
and they comped or paid for three months of jujitsu.
I had never, I literally took a private
at 24 hour fitness, North Hollywood in the spinning room
to understand grappling.
So I learned like guard and like don't go on your back,
don't turn your back,
just so I can like make it through the audition,
but I had no martial art experience.
So I actually booked the audition,
but had no clue what I was doing.
I had to get somebody off my back.
So there was someone on my back, I just had to get her off.
So being an athlete and I'm strong,
I got her off my back,
not with any type of skill or technique,
but I guess they just wanted to see if you have it.
And so for those three months, I was so intimidated,
didn't, did not know who Eddie was,
didn't know nothing about 10th planet,
didn't know what jujitsu was,
just sat there and watched and was like, this is weird.
You guys are just signing up to get choked out
and like maybe get something broken.
Like this is weird and scary.
And then finally I was just like, let me try it.
And I rolled one day and I was like, wow,
this is fucking crazy.
There's someone trying to hurt me right now.
And I'm supposed to like try to hurt you back.
But once I was able to wrap my mind around it
and the beauty and the art of it,
then I was full force and I just stayed.
I never, till this day,
I still have not trained jujitsu anywhere else.
You've just gotten your purple belt in jujitsu.
And then how did the Muay Thai get in the box?
One of the jujitsu practitioners at 10th planet said to me,
like you would love Muay Thai.
And I was like, I like Thai food,
did not even know what Muay Thai was.
And he was like, no, it's kickboxing.
And I was like, oh, I do Thai bow.
And he was like, no, it's not Thai bow.
It's real, you'll like it.
Like I watch you roll and you're so aggressive,
like you should try it.
And I was like, okay.
So I went one Saturday to the yard and loved it.
I was like, this was the hardest shit
I had ever done in my life.
I almost wanted to throw up.
I didn't, but it was a very hard workout.
And it was unlike anything.
And it made me feel very uncomfortable,
like putting everything together.
I felt so uncoordinated and stupid.
And I just thought that was empowering to get over it.
I saw it as a hurdle.
So I signed up for like six months and loved it.
And that's how I, that was my introduction to Muay Thai.
And then you don't fight yet.
Yeah, I fight.
Oh, then no, now I do.
So then when does wow come in?
So then around that time,
I had an audition for what I thought was,
remember that show heroes on.
NBC.
Yeah, and it was like sci-fi.
Okay, so I had an audition for heroes.
I go sign in, sitting in the room,
and then they call my name.
I go in and there's a wrestling ring in there.
And there were girls doing a demo.
And I was like, the fuck, hold on, like pull up my phone.
Like, I swear this said heroes,
but my agent sent me on the wrong audition.
This was wow, super heroes.
So I was like, oh, hell no, like the girls were big.
Like, I'm tiny.
And they're throwing each other around, suplexing,
you know, big drops slam in.
And I was like, yeah, no, I'm good.
So I crossed my name out on the list
and had my hand on the door, like literally about to leave.
And one of the producers slash creator
of the whole of glow and wow,
his name is David McClain was like, hey, you're leaving.
And I was like, yeah, I'm on the wrong audition.
I thought it was for heroes, but this is pro wrestling.
And I don't know how to do that.
I don't have any interest in that.
That's scary, especially with everything that happened to me.
So he was like, well, it's five o'clock on a Friday.
You might as well just stay.
And I was like, good point.
I'm not gonna move in LA.
I'll still be in the same place in one hour.
So I just stayed and watched.
And the last girl who did a demo was slightly taller
than me, but very thin.
And she picked up a girl like Lee size
and slammed the shit out of her.
And I was like, how the, what did she do that?
That was pretty awesome.
And I was like, this is cool.
Like, what if, what if I could do that?
Like, I don't know.
So I took the waiver, I didn't want to do it,
but I took the waiver, was talking to my dad.
My dad was president, vice president of marketing
for Blue Cross for like 18 years.
So very good marketing brain, very creative.
So I was telling him like, I had an audition today.
And it was for pro wrestling and it was scary.
And he was like, how did you feel?
And I was like, my heart was racing.
Like, oh my God, I could die in there.
And he was like, but what if this is something
that can catapult you into your future?
Like, what if this is a setup?
Think big, think big picture.
Think Dwayne Johnson.
He's not the rock anymore.
We look at him as a mega movie star.
And I was like, true.
Then he started naming other wrestlers
who have like done something with their careers.
And I was like, good point.
So I just sat on it and I showed up the next day,
the next audition training thing that they had.
It was like a week introduction.
And then if they chose you, you had three months
of training, five days a week for eight hours a day.
Like you couldn't work, you couldn't do anything
or you had to have a night job.
So I did it.
And out of the 200 girls, they kept 18
and I was one of the 18.
So now I'm a pro wrestler.
And how long after that did you have
your first pro wrestling bout?
Six, seven months later.
Where do you do these?
So originally we were in Vegas
and then the last two years we've been
at the Belasco Theater
and then we're still at the Belasco
and then now we're just on access TV.
And you play superhero.
Kita Rush, the bully buster.
Unbelievable.
And now where does acting fit in through all this?
Acting's been there the whole time.
I've just always been working commercials,
movies, spots, guest starring.
I've done it since 97.
So if you walked into Eddie's in 2014,
you established bully busters in 2012.
Yes.
How did that entail?
How did that?
So originally team bully buster was I wanted to be,
I knew I wanted to do something.
So even the concept of team bully buster came through
a part I was playing in a really big play in LA
and we were doing like character breakdown
because the character I was playing was raped.
She was a crackhead.
She was homeless.
She was pregnant and a drug addict.
I knew her.
Your best friend.
So that girl couldn't have no light about her.
And the director picked me out of all the people
that auditioned but he was like, I like you
but you have the brightest light about you.
So we got a dim that shit.
And I was like, okay, so we got together
and we're doing an hour of character development.
So he was asking real personal questions.
Have you ever been raped?
Have you ever been molested?
And I was like, no, thank God, thank God, like no.
But he was like, have you ever experienced anything crazy
where you felt helpless?
And I was like, well, I did get bullied
and it resulted horribly and pretty much fucked up my life
for a long time.
And he was like, tell me about it.
So I started telling him about it.
And he was like, just pause like sidebar from the play.
You need to do something with your story.
The fact that you overcame that
and you're still this happy little bubble,
like you need to do something.
And I was like, what do I do with this shitty story?
This is a horrible story to me.
And I never spoke about it.
And so then I started praying on it.
Like God, what do I do?
If I'm supposed to do something with this
or if this happened for a reason,
please reveal it cause I don't know.
So show me what I'm supposed to do with it.
So at that time, the answer was for me to be a liaison
for kids and schools.
So if a kid is getting bullied
and they can't talk to their parents for whatever reason
or feel that they can't
or they can't talk to the faculty at school
because they don't feel comfortable enough,
at least they can reach out to Team Bully Buster
and we will contact the school on the kids behalf
and follow up.
That's literally how it started.
But then I was like, I want more,
like we got to show them what to do.
So then it started with like confidence building skills
and techniques.
And then once I started to learn Jiu Jitsu,
I was like, kids need to know this.
And then once I started learning Muay Thai,
I was like, and they need to know this.
And that's literally like, I just kept going with it.
Now, bullying has been very popping in the news
the last 10 years.
I mean, kids have killed themselves
because of media bullying, right?
Bullying people and social media and stuff like that.
I think we've all been bullied.
You know, we've all at one point or another
reacted to a bully.
You know, I remember coming from Cuba
and they made me get a fucking lunchbox, you know?
And I loved the hot dog stand up the corner.
My mother would always give me a couple of dollars.
So I'd rather go to the hot dog stand.
I was that independent at five.
That while kindergarten was, you know,
I think about mercy all the time.
Like can you picture her walking in the corner
getting a hot dog?
At this age, it would be where Team Belly Buster is
on William Whitsat and Riverside.
Okay, if I had to walk maybe 50 yards
past the bridge from the school.
And you gotta remember on that corner,
if I walked another three or four blocks,
I had Central Park.
That's where I went to grammar school.
So when I first got here, I would eat the hot dog.
Now, my mother, this chain was the same chain I had
when I was five.
So my mother-
This long, big ass gold chain.
My mother would put it on me and go,
don't let nobody touch your chain.
My father had died and had become a little weak.
So she was trying to build a man out of me.
It was weird that at Riverside, she had had enough.
Once I got into the first grade,
I don't know, there was something about her.
Like she was trying to build a man.
She would walk me to school and I would walk to school,
read me the riot act about how a man has to act
and don't let a man touch your face.
She went on the Cuban guidelines.
A Cuban man does never let nobody touch him in the face
and all this shit.
So I don't remember getting bullied in school.
It was one day when I went to Central Park,
that I got surrounded by three or four kids.
They didn't call me speck or nothing like that.
It wasn't ethnic.
It was about the lunchbox.
They wanted the lunchbox.
And I wouldn't give them the lunchbox.
And then I hit one kid with the lunchbox.
The lunchbox opened and there was a thermos.
So after they beat me up,
the kid took the thermos and threw it at my head.
And I heard the fucking glass breaking in the old days.
Thermos is that a glass in them.
I heard that motherfucker break.
And when I got up off of my hands and knees
and I looked at my hand and I saw that blood,
I ran those four blocks, Lee, like an Olympic sprinter.
And I could feel the blood dripping off my face.
I was in shock.
I was crying.
I knew my mother was in New Jersey.
So this was going to be a task.
I would have to run home.
And whatever baby so it was home,
I had to hold my head and be bleeding.
And until today, I never could figure out
who the fucking was.
And then my mother got over and they took me to the hospital
and I got stitched up.
And on the way there, my mother asked me why.
I tried to lie.
I had a bit like, I was, why would the fuck were you inside?
I remember like the doctors were putting a sheet
over my head with a hole to stitch me.
And she was yelling at me in Cuban.
Like, what the fuck were you doing at the fucking park anyway?
And like, I went up there to see the fish
and she's like, are you a fucking faggot?
Like she was just like yelling at me in the doctor's room.
So at this point, I'm fucking crying.
They put the local in and that makes, you know,
as a kid, them putting a needle in your head
is unthinkable.
I'm going to pass out right now.
It's fucking unthinkable.
So I start howling and she's yelling, taking like a man,
you know, like she's Cuban guys.
This is 1969.
You could treat your kid having the fuck you want
in this country.
Nobody would call the cops.
You could kill a kid in front of a motherfucker
if he was your son.
And they would just help.
He was a piece of shit that was thrown behind the building
and let him run.
My mother's yelling at me in the emergency room,
like they stitched me up.
And she's like, oh, got it on kilo.
You know, stand still.
Don't tell them where I'm at, my house.
I'm telling you, I kept moving like mercy.
Don't tell them where I'm at.
The next thing you, I just heard, boom.
And I go, what's that noise?
They go, your mother just passed out
because she couldn't see blood either.
That's, oh yeah.
So now when she woke up,
she woke up even more pissed off.
So in the cab, bro, I had bandages on my head.
I'll never forget in the cab.
She was like, so read me, tell me the story again,
how they took your fucking lunchbox.
Like in her mind, she was-
It made no sense.
It made no sense to her.
Like she was old school Cuban.
And I remember her like smacking me
in the back of the cab, like with stitches.
Like she was that trying to develop a man.
You know, that was early on.
I had a little bit of a problem.
And then she put me in, when the stitches came out,
she took me to-
Rassan's dad.
Rassan's dad.
Wow.
And then I really started getting bullied.
Because Rassan's dad would make you
run around the neighborhood with no shoes on.
So the kids that were on the street
would see you running with a gi on.
And now the next day they're like,
there's karate boy, show us a move.
That was even worse.
You'd see your little friends on the corner
and there you are running in the winter,
you know, with no shoes on and they would see you.
So now you got bullied even more,
but it turned somewhere for me.
Like I didn't, it wasn't that big.
And I think every kid got teased.
Everybody got teased,
but it wasn't a bullying issue.
It wasn't enough for kids to take a life.
Like that's when I started paying attention
to what was going on.
And then I saw that your thing was called bully busters.
And I really just started thinking about it.
What it's becoming in this country.
But I don't know what's going on with schools.
I don't know if they-
It's horrible Joey.
That the rules at schools are horrible.
Their policies are just hands off,
even if someone punches you in the face.
If you hit them back,
you're getting suspended or expelled or whatever.
I don't teach that at my school.
Like you know what I teach.
You know what I mean?
If someone hits you,
know you defend yourself.
And I'm sure your parent will be much happier
knowing that you defended yourself
instead of coming home the way I did all broken up,
but I didn't do anything back.
You know what I mean?
Like fuck getting in trouble, protect yourself.
And so that's, yeah, schools are just out of control.
They have no, they don't know what to do.
You know, I have a friend that I get this kid gets in trouble
for punching people all the time.
You know, we live in a time where
I think even parenting is getting judged heavenly.
You know, like heavenly, you can't really, me,
I'm old school.
I would never lift a hand to my daughter.
I don't see lifting a hand to her.
What I do, I do see her kneeling on two fucking beans
for two hours in her room.
I'm old school and thinking about what the fuck she did.
I'm thinking about giving her a notebook
and writing I will not yell at my mother
from three o'clock to fucking nine o'clock.
And you could go to train,
but I'm gonna tell Kita that if you do one fucking summer
so to do a thousand setups,
like you'll never go back to like,
like that's how my mother was.
My mother would make me like, oh, you wanna yell at me?
Okay, from three o'clock for a week,
she would make me write the notebook.
And every line, every I had to be.
Dotted, everything had to be crossed.
And this page had to be in English.
And this page had to be in Spanish.
I still remember the words,
yo ma nunca voy a colonear a mi mamá.
That means I will never, ever argue with her, like doubt her.
Like I used to be one of those motherfuckers
that would start an argument.
Just questioning.
Just a bust of balls and she was gonna say,
oh, sometimes you get in here.
You wanna fuck with me?
Like my mother would put the fork down.
You really wanna fuck with me?
Yeah.
So it was like, I could never raise mercy.
The same way.
The same way, but my mother was trying.
To raise a man.
To raise a man when she was single.
And then when she married,
he did a good job the first couple years.
But the moment he started getting in the street,
my mom goes, no, that's my son.
I'll raise him how I want her.
And then she, he left.
And then I did what I wanted.
So in the end, you know what I'm saying?
She let the pressure off.
Which now I know what to do.
When to press the pressure on mercy.
The pressure isn't from zero to 10.
It's after 12 when they got, did you see,
have you seen the movie about the chick,
the fucking gambling chick, the white chick,
about cards?
She's a gambler and she goes to jail in Hollywood.
No, not yet.
You know which one we're talking about?
Yes, I know what you're talking about.
In the beginning, her father is the guy
that played Whitney Houston in the,
I'll never-
Kevin Costner?
Kevin Costner plays her father and he don't fuck around.
What's the name of this?
I'll look up Kevin Costner movies later.
Something's World.
Molly's World.
Molly's World is a very good movie.
Whenever I'm on a plane and it's on, I put it on.
Like, even if I bring shit from Netflix,
I put it on because it shows too far those perspectives.
I think it's very sweet.
It shows Kevin Costner's perspective when he was raising her.
And how she would go,
Daddy, I want to go home, I'm tired.
He would go, give me a synonym for the word tired.
And he would, she would go weak.
What do you want to do?
You want to go homestown?
And she would go, no.
And she would ski,
because she became an Olympic skier first.
But then who's going to be the new black jainist mom?
My brother, Ibbis, plays the attorney
and he's got a 12 year old daughter and she's on,
like fucking point.
Like he made her read the Crucible.
So he asked her, why are you making your daughter
read the Crucible?
And they get through an argument.
And then he tells her,
is that why you control your daughter so much?
And he's like, yeah, I think she goes, that's good.
You need to, because this is what happened in my house.
So it's a story about a dad being there and another dad.
I want to see this.
No, this is a good movie.
I love, I watch it every, every plane ride.
This week I ate an edible.
Some guy gave me an edible in DC.
And I ate it like a six in the morning.
So I passed out, I missed the end of it.
I woke up at the end,
but they have a great talk at the end, this father daughter.
And it's just, now how was your father
in all this with you?
My dad's amazing when that happened.
So a similar story, when I was getting examined
in the hospital, my mom passed out from seeing me
in all the pain when they were pushing,
like, does this hurt, does this hurt?
Moving my arm, she literally passed out.
So rewind to before my parents got divorced,
my mom was in a major car accident.
She got hit by a car on her birthday.
Right after my parents decided to get a divorce.
So like six months, her friends take her to Palm Springs.
Let's party girl and like get away from the kids
and the divorce situation.
Let's just go have fun for your birthday.
They have dinner and drinks and then they leave
and a guy hits my mom and another person
that was crossing the street.
When he realized he hit somebody, he didn't see them.
So then he reversed, but my mom flew over the car.
So he hit my mom again.
So my mom was in a coma for 39 days,
280 stitches in her head, pelvis crushed, lung crushed,
knees crushed, ankles crushed, wrists crushed,
like everything was broken.
So a year or two later, now I'm in high school
and then this happened.
So my mom was still on crutches.
Like her knees had to be reconstructed.
Like she was on crutches and in a hospital bed
for a good five to seven years after that happened.
So then my mom passes out.
So my dad gets to the hospital and he's like,
where's my daughter?
And he's like, where's her mom?
And we just admitted her in the room next door.
So my dad's going back and forth.
Fucking daughter got beat up.
My ex-wife is passed out and like holding on to life.
So it was just a lot.
But my dad is a Marine and he is resilient
and he was just there.
He was an awesome dad and he's an awesome dad.
You're still tight with him?
Oh yeah, very much so.
Your relationship is very tight with him.
Yeah.
What's he thinking about?
What are you doing now?
He's so proud of me.
I just went, he just retired and moved to Vegas last year.
So this past weekend drove up there just to go hang out
and he just always says, I'm so proud of you.
And I literally asked him,
because my brother is a brown belt in Kung Fu.
And I'm like, why did you not put me in martial arts?
Like why was I in track and gymnastics
when Javan got to do like that?
And he knows how to fight
and he has protected himself his whole life.
And he's like, I didn't think you would have needed it.
Like how sad, right?
And then the one kid that gets fucking beat up is me.
So he apologized the other day
for not putting me in Kung Fu too.
You know, you never know what you need to, yeah.
So it's too late.
Too late.
It's too fucking late.
Yeah.
But it's just, I cannot believe,
I am blown away that you've been involved
with martial arts only for four years and you're so.
I took it and ran with it every single day I train.
So now this wrestling season, what does it consist of?
So we just got picked up by Access TV, Mark Burnett,
MGM Studios.
So 2019 will be airing.
So October 10th and 11th here in LA,
we're shooting for next season.
So right now I'm in training five days a week
every night at 8 p.m. in Long Beach for wrestling.
Yeah.
One more training on top of Jujutsu and Muay Thai.
So is this like WWE in the smallest scale?
Yeah.
It's like UFC and then there's Bellator.
And you talk shit.
Yeah.
Can you curse?
No, not necessarily.
It's for kids.
Okay, so you like, come on, go come on over.
Yeah, I'm a bully buster.
I'm like, bring it on.
I have a cool character
because you're either a good guy or a bad guy,
but I'm a good guy that's really tough.
So I don't have to just be like, hi, you know what I mean?
I'm like, bring it.
So I like that.
They gave us a lot of creative freedom.
So my character really is the bully buster.
Now you have time to like shoot a movie, teach kids.
I don't fucking know, I make it happen.
Be in Long Beach by fucking eight o'clock.
I know.
Leave the studio at seven.
Seven.
Just on a snack or eat on the way down.
Yeah, I know you can't even eat
because taking bumps and getting slammed, I'll throw up.
And then you stayed on Manto.
Midnight, come home, one o'clock, eat dinner.
You might have an audition the next day.
Next day.
How was your audition game?
Do you still go out a lot?
Yeah, all the time.
I just booked a major national for Nike,
shot by Alejandro Idimito, who directed The Revenant
and won the Oscar for that.
So that was like a God's end.
And I play a wrestler, so that's cool.
Do you still go to acting class?
I don't, not anymore.
Once you went to theater, you never went back
to an acting class.
No, it's not necessary.
Like for me, when I came out of the Idaho,
I wasn't raised to theater.
In the beginning, yeah.
Did you do plays at UCLA?
I didn't at UCLA, but I did during the time.
So like at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center,
plays around here, plays in LA, but not for the school.
Okay, so now you're a wrestler, you're an actress.
And a fighter.
Now what day do they come to you and say,
hey, Kina, since you do everything
but fix the fucking kitchen, do you want to fight too?
When did this start?
What year did this start?
Last year, so wait, it's 2018.
So 2017, my coach, so I started training at a new,
I stopped doing Muay Thai after I left the yard
for like a year.
The yard is through school, Joe Shilling and Mark.
Yeah, so no Joe, trained there for six months.
And then just, it just got busy
and Highland Park is not down the street.
And it just was inconvenient.
And at that time they had different coaches there.
It wasn't just Joe and Mark.
So I cut back on that.
And then about a year ago, got back into it
and started training and about two months later,
my coach was like, hey, have you ever thought about fighting?
And I was like, no.
I mean, I doubt I would ever be good enough
and I'm not a spring chicken.
So he was like, no, you're good enough.
You definitely got it.
And I remember Mark saying that at the yard too,
like you're a fighter.
And I was like, really?
Just hearing those words and knowing my story is like,
it doesn't, it didn't, I didn't accept it yet
that I am a fighter.
And so he challenged me.
He's like, oh, what if I get you a fight?
And I was like, if you think I'm good enough,
I'll trust you because I trust you.
And he was like, you got it.
And so I took a fight.
I was literally learning Muay Thai
at the same time as being in fight camp,
took the fight and beat the breaks off
over one unanimous decision.
And how many fights have you had?
Now I've fought twice Muay Thai.
Probably I'll do another one soon.
Just after a while, I always have to like pace out
either Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai or wrestling.
I can't do all three competitions.
You know what I mean?
Getting ready for all three.
It's a lot.
No modeling unless you do modeling too.
Yeah, athletic.
No, I'm too short for like real modeling,
but I do Nike, Hardtail, like all athletic lines,
Gatorade.
It's fucking tremendous.
It's fucking tremendous.
You know, you read and read people's twitters
and everybody has negativity when it comes to acting.
This is what it's like being a black woman in Hollywood.
This is what it's like being a,
you know, every time you talk to white actors now,
they'll take you aside and go,
I'll ask them, how's the audition?
Well, you need to be black now or an Indian
or a mix to work anymore.
And so many people just give fucking so many stupid excuses.
Yeah, they do.
And I just, I have seen you just,
I follow you on Facebook and it's mind boggling.
I didn't even know about the wrestling till last night
from eight to 11.
I thought you just taught at the school
and that was it for the night.
You went home, cuddled with the fucking two girls.
I wish.
No.
Now I eat a bar or a shake or a strawberry
or a bite of an apple.
And you teach there at 10 o'clock also.
Team Bully Buster?
Yeah.
You teach there in the morning?
Yeah, every morning.
10 o'clock.
Privates and then class.
And then if you have an audition, what do you do?
Go to my audition.
They're usually like 10, 11, 12, like.
So you know at Laurel Canyon and Chandler,
there's an audition place.
So if you're ever in a bind and they call you.
It's right there.
And they say to you, you just come into tape
for a fucking guy with a camera,
but we need to thank you for an hour.
Just go listen.
I'm too busy today.
I'll put it on tape.
And it's across the street from the Cuban restaurant
on Chandler and Laurel Canyon.
Once you roll over, Laurel Canyon,
once you roll over Chandler, the railroad tracks,
right there, look to your left.
You pull a left in there.
That guy's been there forever.
Young Likeskin brother.
You have a 15 bucks for 15 minutes.
You put you on tape.
Fucking tremendous.
I've booked jobs with them.
Just if you're ever in a pinch and they call you
and you're like really, Santa Monica,
they're going out and there's a fucking.
Make it to ocean right now.
Put some Chinese guy with a fucking camera.
It doesn't, that tells you no or yes.
I'm not saying nothing about Chinese.
I'm just saying that.
That's what it is.
You don't get room.
And it's this guy with a camera.
Where's the fucking producers?
So I came all the way down here to be put on tape anyway.
I could put myself on tape on Laurel Canyon
or whatever the fuck it is.
Now the school, how long has the school been open?
Hold on one second.
Let me take a break real quick.
We'll be right back.
Let me ask you something.
You ever look at the photo of yourself
from five years ago and thought, damn, I looked young.
What happened to that guy?
Where did all these wrinkles around my eyes come from?
When did I start looking like my dad?
Some things get better with age.
Wine, for example, a nice single more scotch.

All right, so we were talking about the school.
I had a fart real quick, so I went outside.
I didn't want to fart in front of a key lab
and had a protein shake and I had fish
and Lisa's he doesn't like when I eat fish.
I appreciate you.
Because I blow farts, so you know,
I'm just trying to be decent to you.
Thank you.
It's just such a nice individual.
How did the school come about?
When the fuck in this scheduling notice,
did you say to yourself, you know what?
You know what I think I really need to do?
Open up a martial arts school
and really put myself into a fucking bind to him.
So the way that started is I was already
teaching self-defense at 10th Planet
and at Team Victory Muay Thai.
And...
Where's Team Victory?
Englewood, right by the airport.
You were teaching self-defense for women?
For free, for since 2012, for free.
Just come on a Saturday, just come in, just come.
Basic arm bar.
Yeah, more show, wrist breaks, you know,
rape prevention, if someone bare hugs you,
how to get out of it.
Like, more so, grabs and attacks versus just jujitsu.
And you were doing this for free.
And women were coming in,
some of them had been put in bad positions before.
Abusive relationships, date rape, actual rape.
Preventative, don't wanna ever get raped
or get in that situation.
Mr. Miyagi.
I'm gonna get him, that toxic nose,
I got a perjude for a hand.
I'm gonna hit him so hard his father's
gonna fall out of the sky.
That cock sucker, he's no good.
That's one of Lee's flies.
Lee Thomas, so they follow his neck.
No, you keep flying for pets, they found out.
You can open up that fucking door right now
and that fly won't leave.
This motherfucker has had a fly on top of him
for the last two years, since Ralphie May was alive.
One day he brought a bee in here,
one day he brought a flying scorpion from Miami
because they follow him because he eats that hummus
and they were attracted to the hummus in the desert.
So these flies, they don't know if it's hummus or dog shit.
That's why I don't eat hummus
because it comes out of your fucking neck.
And every time Lee shows up, there's a fly.
Tell me I'm lying, fully Lee.
It's not, it's not.
I know, no.
It's like you, who's keeping flies as pets.
No, I don't keep them as pets.
I put them up with a little jar of OTHC
and I experiment with them to see what the weed does to them.
Oh yeah, they get fucked up.
They, I take them out, they forget how to fly.
They just sit in the bathroom, look out the window.
After about two days they disappear.
They learn how to fly and they're like,
I'm never going back in there again.
That's like the chick from Silence of the Land.
Once they get out of there,
they're like, I'm gonna put a chick from Silence of the Land.
They get the fuck out of the bathroom
because I got a back bathroom.
So in the mornings I close the door.
Once Mercy goes to school and I can open up at that smoke.
Sometimes I just take my pants down,
take a shit with the door open.
And I smoke and it helps because when you call for,
you push and everything comes out.
A lot of people don't know that technique.
That's called the open window
when you have no hemorrhoid technique.
You just take a hit when you go,
it just flies out of your little muffler into the,
a lot of people don't know this key.
I gotta drop knowledge from time to time.
In case I'm ever constipated, I will take you up on that.
Dr. Joey.
What possesses you to open up a martial arts school,
which isn't really a martial arts school.
You have something very special over there.
So two years ago, speaking of Billy Blanks,
Michael Blanks, his brother who ended up teaching
and had a gym on Lakership in Chandler called Sweat Theory,
sees all my posts just the same way you do.
And he hit me up randomly and he goes,
hey, I'm in the process of opening up a gym
and it has other rooms in it.
So I'm gonna have like a kickboxing room
but I wanted to know if you would be interested
in having a self-defense room.
Cause I know all of my clients would really know,
would really want to know how to protect themselves.
And I would love to have you there.
And I was like, what?
Really awesome.
He's like, yeah, just bring Team Bully Buster
into my gym.
And it was gonna be in Woodland Hills, right off of Kenoga.
So do that whole thing.
He had partners and investors and then he was my partner.
So started painting, got the plumbing,
the electricity, get decking it out.
And then something fell through with his investors.
And since I wasn't the person on it,
that dream just went, right?
But ever since that was there, anytime I'm driving
and I look at spaces, I'm like, oh, I wonder if,
if I put Team Bully Buster there,
what would it look like?
It's just visual.
I'm a visual person.
I see shit and I won't stop seeing it until it happens.
And one day I was driving down Witsett
and that used to be an art school and it was empty.
And I was like, oh, the art school is gone.
And I was like, what if Team Bully Buster was there?
I wonder how much it is.
What should I do?
Blah, blah, blah.
So all these thoughts.
And so I made a U-turn, went next door and was like,
hey, do you have any information on how to get in touch
with whoever owns this to lease it out?
And so I called and they were like, yeah,
what's your company?
Almost, oh, no, he's flying her out.
Yeah, she's wired up.
Now he knows Uncle Joey ain't fucking around.
I got hands of steel and they're lightning quick.
I'm sorry.
Maybe I control the flyers
because he hasn't been around me today.
Maybe I'm just like, send him over to you.
How?
Sent him to him.
It's hysterical.
I used to have a friend who did a couple of lines of coke
with him and he talked to me all of a sudden he goes, shh.
He was bald, likely early bald.
And he would say, shut up for one second.
He looked at his forehead and he looked at himself
because he thought flies were landing on the side.
But he was just so high.
No, he was just so high that the numbness
would hit a patch in his bald spot.
And he would swat himself and he would continue
with the conversation.
Oh my God, that's funny.
That's like a good character.
Oh please.
That's good.
Swats, I already got them done.
Swats.
Hold on.
Joey Swats.
So, yeah, so I called, got the information.
I filled out the application and I was like,
oh, here goes, you know?
Like I hadn't even really been thinking about like,
I want a gym, like that wasn't ever there,
but it was, but it wasn't.
You know what I mean?
And so they accepted it.
And they, yeah, your application, we accept it.
So you have first month, last month,
and you're signing a lease.
And I was like, ooh, oh shit, it's go time.
So I literally just had to push go
and started Team Bully Buster right there.
And it's, you know, you call it Team Bully Buster.
I'm not saying this in a negative way or a positive way.
It is a positive way.
When I saw your ads and what I saw,
like I already was thinking about something for Mercy.
Mercy's got a very sweet heart like a mother.
She doesn't have the swine heart that I have.
She wouldn't think like that.
But then when you have children,
you look at your children and you remember you at that age.
And at that age, my father had died.
And that's why I got hit in the head with the fucking tube.
And I was little on the weak side
and my mother put me in karate and karate.
I would tell my mom, I got kicked in the stomach one day
and they took the air out of me.
And I remember like me going, I'm quitting.
And Mr. Orange said, you ain't quitting.
I don't have quitters in the school.
You know, this is a black school.
We don't have motherfucking quitters here.
You get the fuck up.
In those days, that's how karate teachers talk to you.
It wasn't like, you know, and, you know,
it wasn't Mr. Orange.
The teacher I had after Mr. Orange,
that motherfucker, you had to bring him your report card, G.
That's dope.
And if your report card didn't have age,
you came to class and did the warmup,
but you had to sit there and do your homework
and you couldn't do drills.
And that was brutal.
And parents were all in.
Well, yeah.
You took straight A's.
You had to have straight A's to fuck with Mr. Norlander.
Fuck.
Or you can't come here.
I don't want no dummies here.
And he would say just like that.
And if you got a B or a C,
you come to class every day, I want to see you here.
You're going to do the jumping jacks.
You're going to do the hipscapes.
You're going to do all that.
But when I teach the technique and the form and the kata,
you got to sit on the side with three other fucking morons.
And do your homework.
That changed a lot of things for people.
That's a different discipline.
And so I'm already thinking about my daughter.
I'm thinking that I'm 55, you know, things happen
and you have to accept those things.
And I was left out in the cold.
And I want her to be a woman and to have all those things.
But I also wanted her to know what the street is like.
Like, I got a friend that I grew up with that I'm seeing this.
They're the two widest chicks you ever seen.
But Tonya don't fuck around.
And Tonya told me when both her daughters were five,
she took them to Times Square and let them go.
And they hit just to see their reaction.
And she goes, both of them got an education.
And then I asked them why they didn't go to the cop.
And their original thing was they didn't look trustworthy.
You know, kids see all that.
They don't focus on the other stuff.
They don't focus on rent and bills.
So I want my daughter the same, have that same street.
That's very much her.
I want her, when I'm with Mercy and I see her walking,
and I tell her, oh yeah, pay attention,
don't tell her Pila.
I talked to her in Spanish.
So it's double, like my mom used to talk to me in Spanish.
There was a point where I would go to the park with my mom
and my mom would give me hand signals.
Like, oh yeah, he's touching you too much.
Tocalo means touch and keep him at a distance.
You know, I want my daughter to learn how to react
to getting hit instead of me.
When I got hit that day, I went down.
I went into shock.
Same here.
I want her to learn to get hit, breathe through it.
Instinctually and know what's in there.
Instinctually and know what to do.
And because I didn't have that, that's why I started this.
I said, fuck it, I'm making my own lane.
There's not a school like this.
All these things prepare you for life.
Life is a fucking tough situation,
especially when you want to do what you really love.
Because yeah, you got a job working on the way out
and live your life on one day when you're four,
65, they give you a gold watch.
But you didn't really do what you really wanted to do.
So when you do what you really want to do,
you have to teach it like whatever.
I am blown away, first of all,
that you have not been involved in martial arts
since you were four.
I know.
Because you were so good with those kids.
So when she turned, my daughter had pre-K,
was learning karate.
The guy was a mutt Lorange.
I mean, I don't know how this guy put these schools.
What?
He was, if there's a mutt, his picture comes up.
What?
The guy's a fucking mutt.
It was horrible?
I even tried that.
I was on the podcast once and I kept watching him
and he kept getting muttlier and muttlier.
Like not taking showers and going to the school
with his hair sticking up.
Like you can't be a mutt in my world.
And then I saw him, he teaches at a park.
He's got these idiots doing sword things and shit.
I'm like, who fights with a fucking sword in Hollywood?
You know what I'm saying?
You know, but he's just a muddy guy.
And I tried to talk to him one day
and he was like, this is what I do.
I kind of live in my car.
Like he's just, but he put these schools together,
these little pre-K schools, which you should be doing.
And you go on there on Wednesday,
try to turn a student and you teach them real martial arts.
They were jumping around.
They were just fucking, they would break boards.
You would come in with like boards
and they all have boards and whatever.
And Mercy enjoyed it, but I didn't know
if she knew what the fuck it was for.
And I can't talk to her that way.
So I sat it down one day during a Bruce Lee movie.
And she was fucking watching that Chinese connection scene
and she was watching me.
She's like, this is okay.
But then she went away.
And then sometimes the U of C's on and she'll sit with me,
but she doesn't like when the women fight.
So I'm like, well, my God, no, I can't really.
And then we watch Glory one day
and the one girl kicked the other one in the pussy.
And then she kicked her in the pussy again.
Now Mercy's looking at me like,
you want me to go kick, put people in the pussy?
Poor little Mercy, she was so confused that day.
I go, Mercy, come here.
Look, they're doing karate like you do.
And all of a sudden the one girl halls
who often kicks her in the pussy and Mercy like,
is that allowed?
Listen, I'm gonna switch the channel.
Get out the fucking room.
Just plan backflying on me.
That is funny.
So I didn't know what to do,
but my daughter gets home from school
and right away she puts on a superhero contest.
Oh God, a fucking thing.
So when she gets in, she gives me a kiss.
She disappears for 10 minutes.
Then she runs in his fucking whoever, back girl, whoever.
She's got one of those fucking suits
and she'll come in and fuck with me and whatever.
And one day I showed her a picture of you
and she was young enough,
but she didn't really, it was about a year ago.
I showed her what you were doing at the gym
and she was kind of, but she didn't take to it.
And then after pre-K, I took her to Vinny,
but then once she started kindergarten,
her schedule changed.
So she couldn't go to Vinny's anyway
and you have the program.
And this is plain and simple.
When I was a kid, I had psychological problems
at the age of five.
I just got hit in the head.
And in more ways than one,
first off, my mother took me to see a black woman
and she became my santeria godmother
and she's still my santeria godmother.
She took me to see a black woman.
I took my daughter to see a black woman.
And then my first karate teacher
was also blacker than the night,
like Louie Louie with the Afro.
I don't think that's it.
I was even black as the night.
Louie was wider than white.
It's a beautiful fucking gym.
But it was so weird that I told you the story
when we walked out the first day,
my daughter just said, well, that's it.
I'm not going to see Vinnie any master Vinnie.
Me and my wife just broke out.
She was done.
She was all in, but it's so weird how
you know my wife's a hitler.
Like my wife don't play.
One day when my wife told her, she goes,
you don't fuck around, I'll take you home.
No, there was a little crying and shit.
Yeah, my wife don't play those games.
I love it.
But Mercy now, I've seen the change in my daughter.
I've seen how much she wants to go see you.
I'm fucking serious.
I've been involved with martial arts for 20 years.
The worst things that happened in my life
were when I got out of martial arts.
I had no control.
I got into drugs and shit.
And I really thought you've been involved
with martial arts for 20 years.
So I fucking applaud the shit out of you.
You fucking had me in the wool over my eyes.
You were phenomenal.
And as a teacher, you're phenomenal.
You know, the baby's godfather has a nine year old.
Kicks like a fucking mule because she's a soccer player.
But her hands are, so James sent me,
he sent me the picture, he goes, this is the picture of Ava.
I sent him the picture of her with the headgear on.
He went, nut, die, die.
What if she gets brain damage?
I go, she's fucking fine.
She's just gonna hit in the head
just to let her know what it feels like.
And she liked it.
I thought that day was gonna be ugly.
I thought that day was gonna go home.
So did I, I was like, okay.
I thought that was the day of truth and mercy.
I go, when I saw the headgear come on, I go home.
Oh shit.
This might be a long conversation.
This might switch to ballet.
But no.
She loved it.
She loved it.
And I'm watching her like I did.
Once I got into martial arts, I became a different kid.
I see her too taking it more seriously.
Every single, every single class,
it's more serious and more serious, more focused.
Every morning before she goes to school,
she gives me a kiss.
I call her over and we do a one, two leg kick.
And I go, something happens.
Say, no matter what happens,
remember, you can always go back to that
and just focus and start over again.
She looks at me like, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
You're going down, cocksuck.
You know why?
Because I said so.
You take something.
That's why.
Because I said so.
Good job.
These motherfuckers don't know who they're fucking with.
You follow me.
He finally killed the fly.
Your cousins and your friends.
Yeah.
I knew I was going to do it.
Fucking hummus.
Damn, I just my arm.
You brought that motherfucker in here.
I did not bring it in.
You bring him in here with that hummus on your neck
and now he could die on your fucking neck.
I'm going to send a thousand flies to your house.
Fuck that shit, cocksucker.
I told you to stop eating hummus.
And yesterday, you ate hummus.
I thought, I knew he was going to show up today
with a fly because he always shows up on the fly
when he said hummus.
They get him right in the parking lot.
They think he's got shit coming out of his pores.
They then hummus now.
Did you shower after conditioning for that?
Of course.
Good job.
Because then you get the other fucking thing coming out of you.
You get the back end of the squirt.
What are these things coming out of you?
Nothing.
Hummus.
Shower.
You think I could get out of that conditioning class
and not shower?
You would see me.
I'd be fucking.
No, I know.
But I never know him.
With you.
I never know.
Because you bring those flies in.
Can you teach me moves to get guys like him?
I sure can.
I'll teach you moves how to dissect the fly
if they're following you down the fucking street.
There's no flies.
That's the only move.
You always bring a fly or something that's flying with you.
And it's because of your neck.
I told you once.
I told you a thousand times.
There's no flies in my house.
And there's flies at your house, so maybe it's you.
No, they come in when I take a shit.
Yeah, I don't have flies.
Because that's what they're attracted to.
They're attracted to that smell of hummus and shit
or the same thing.
Shit and hummus.
You just eat in some Arabian's hummus.
And that's some Arabian shit.
And you give them a dollar on ice.
I don't know how many times I told you to stop.
I'm sorry about this.
Now I got to kill flies.
I got to become an exterminator during my buttocks.
You're Mr. Miyagi.
Every fucking week.
A little less graceful.
But no, what I saw.
When you brought the kettlebells out,
I took a picture and sent it to him.
He nearly died.
You brought five.
No, you brought, the headgear was one thing.
And then she went to a conditioning class.
And she was doing lunges with five pound kettlebells.
I'm like, oh my God.
Like this is way beyond.
Then coach took a stick out
and started throwing the stick at him.
And they're fucking, listen,
you're making killers over there.
And the number one thing about women is,
number one is being loved by dad and being hugged by dad.
And the number two thing is a woman that's confident.
That knows if something goes down.
And I grew up with both those type of women.
That if something goes down, they're prepared.
And you have to see the difference.
Like I grew up with this chick that one time
we were in a beef and she pulled a lot of gun
quicker than the men did.
Oh, my mom, you met my mom.
My mom will fuck you up in a minute.
And so will my dad.
I just, I don't know, my, it came so late in life.
That thing, that thing for me, I didn't have it
all the way up until, you know, five, six years ago.
But now that thing's there.
Like.
I don't want to push it on mercy.
Don't.
I don't want to, I don't want to push anything on them.
I'm not pistol Pete's dad.
I'm not going to, you know, whatever she goes for.
But I'll tell you one thing.
I got a bag in the yard, the same one that they climb on.
They try to tip over the heavy bottom one.
And this time she's like, can I go outside?
And we go outside and she does her fucking soccer ball
and she hits her little tennis ball
and everything at the end by herself.
She'll go.
She'll go around the back.
One, two, three, man.
One, two, three, and then I put my hands up.
And like I said, I don't want her to beat up anybody.
I just want her to know what to do.
I can't wait for the future to see,
you're going to see who the rapists are.
Cause they're all going to be walking around
with fucked up elbows.
Cause they're going to be trying to choke a woman
and they're not going to know that they don't do it.
And they're going to be unrapeable.
They're going to get caught in arm bars in 20 years.
That's how you're going to see a rapist.
They're going to walk around with fucked up elbows.
And then when they get out of jail,
they sign up in class and then you get to class.
How to get out of an arm bar.
Ha ha ha ha.
Exactly.
It's the truth.
It's true.
It's the truth.
Little girls are getting into,
you have two or three little girls over there.
You got John Jones' daughter
that doesn't know she's John Jones' daughter.
I know.
She has no idea.
I'm like, I expect so much.
I was like, dude.
She's John Jones' daughter.
Literally.
Literally.
Literally.
John Bees.
She's nine.
And she's taller, she's as tall as me.
Like damn near.
When you get through to her,
it's going to be a different game.
When you get through to a girl and they start,
remember, there's a thousand round the rows
easily going to come up in the next 10 years.
Thousands.
Thousands.
Do you know how that's going to affect
the way the game is?
Now it's 5% of women know martial art
or a self-defense thing,
but they wouldn't know what to do.
That's why whenever I go to movie tie
and I'm padded up with a girl,
I fuck with them.
And I tell them, listen, don't fuck with me.
Because I'm the guy that,
I'm the type of guy this size
that's going to come after you
and try to rape you.
It's not lead.
Don't fuck with me.
Pay attention to my shit.
And I'm going to fucking come at you.
When I spar with women,
I go in a corner and I make them body hit me.
Like I put my, I'll put the thing on.
And I'll let them,
and I'll stop and go, listen,
I'll grab you by the throat
and I'll snap your fucking neck.
You better throw what you got.
And next thing, you know,
there's a skinny blonde girl.
She fucking, that's it.
I got to sew it up one day.
I get, you know, keep kicking me.
Keep kicking me.
Keep kicking me.
Because I want you to know
what it's going to be like after that.
When you look up.
And you hear us tell the kids,
it's not, they're not going to be nice to you.
Oh my God, you guys drop it on.
We do, this is not a game.
Because I went through it.
You know what I mean?
It's not like I just grew up doing karate
and I wanted to open up a martial art school.
No, unfortunately,
I had a fucked up experience
and that's why I'm so passionate about it.
I don't want to see no little kids in a situation
that they don't know how to handle.
And unfortunately, we're not ever taught,
especially women,
what to do when someone's mean to you.
That's not a lesson that we're ever taught.
Not by parents, not by school.
No one teaches us that.
So when we're faced with it,
we fucking freeze.
And I want no one to freeze
that steps foot in Team Bully Buster.
I want to create new instincts
and let them know you know exactly what to do.
You hold your own.
You know what to do.
It's crazy because I had that little mental block
after my dad died and I didn't react to it.
You know, I don't like,
I sound like I remember getting bullied
except to get in the head with the lunchbox.
But then when I started karate,
it was one kid that fucked with me
and his name was Rudy the Haitian.
He was Haitian.
And me and him would fight to the death,
like once a week.
And at first he was beating me,
but then I learned how to utilize my kicks.
And I would keep him at a distance
and I had like a good right hand.
When I was seven or something, this went down.
And one day his dad seen this fighting
and I had him this time.
I bloodied up his face.
And his father held me while his kid punched me.
And then his father walked me up the steps
and knocked on my mother's door.
And my mother was fucking passed out,
taking a nap.
She was lying on the floor from the night before.
And my mother opened up the front door
and he's like, the next time your son hits my son,
I'm gonna hit him, then I'm gonna hit you.
And my mom goes, hold on one second.
And she got the biggest knife she had in the fucking kitchen.
And she chased him up the steps.
Absolutely.
And then the neighbor, the cops came,
but the neighbor came out and said
that my mother didn't have a knife.
But that was just a lie.
So the Haitians never messed with us again.
Rudy the Haitian.
But that woke up a giant in me.
Like I was never a tough guy,
but I was never much to take shit after that.
And one of the biggest things that got me through my life
was sticking up for somebody one time.
That, you know, three people are gonna jump them.
And I go, no, no, no, no, no, no.
If you wanna jump them, you could jump them,
but you gotta fight them one at a time.
And the father asked me who I was
and I told him, fuck you, this is the way it's gonna go.
And that saved my life.
That put me in a different-
A different character.
I was never a tough guy at all.
In fact, I got beat up at a park one time really bad.
I tried to mug a guy and he beat me up.
And that was the end of my fighting career.
Like I was like, done.
Like I'm never gonna be a fighter.
That's never, ever gonna happen.
But with Mercy, I'm very concerned
because she's got the heart that her mother has.
Like I've been trying to talk Tarry into going to your class.
And she doesn't know nothing.
Like one time we were living in Hollywood
and she goes, put your dukes up and she put her hands up.
And all I did was push this hand.
And she hit herself and she's like, ow.
And I go, if you want to put your hands up,
put your hands down, stop fucking around.
She didn't really know.
And this conversation's been going on
for a little while of us.
So we're all very happy with you
and how you treat my daughter.
But here it is, let me drop this on you.
So, because I just talked to my uncle
again Sunday night, we had a long conversation.
What pissed me off when I came here in 84?
After my mother died in 79 to live with my uncle in Glendale.
And he was very at a different point in his life.
And he was kind of dischanted with my mother
and he told me things that I didn't need to know.
And he let me know who I was.
He's like, you could keep faking the funk,
but you're really the son of a killer.
And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Because after my mother died,
I found out that she had an alias.
That's why I couldn't collect Social Security.
And it was because one night at a party in like 1954,
my mother and her sister Rosita went to a party
and my mother was older by one year.
She lost Rosita and she went outside
and Rosita was around getting raped by a man.
So my mother took a bottle broken
and stabbed the guy in the back with a bottle
and killed him.
They had a flutter off the island.
And my mother had a very unusual temper
and she was the originator.
Like you see all these women that marched
for women's rights, that wasn't my mother's world.
My mother struck with the fucking, with the hammer of God.
My stepfather was a good dude
and he tried to really be a good dude.
And one day he made a mistake of flicking a cigarette
at my mother.
My mother waited until he fell asleep,
took a statue of a saint
and busted it over his fucking head
and told him never to disrespect it.
Don't you ever fucking flick shit at me.
And not even a lit cigarette, right?
It was just.
It was a plain cigarette.
My mother wanted him to hand it to her.
That's what gentlemen do.
But he threw it at her.
I love your mom.
So this is in her.
These genes are in her.
These genes are in her.
And I don't want her to be a killer,
but I want her to understand that they're in her.
The same way they were in me as I was growing up
and I would get those dark evil thoughts.
But I was on drugs.
I don't want to be on drugs.
But I just wanted her to,
I thought it was very important for her to be in some type.
I don't want her to be a fighter.
I don't want her,
I don't expect her to do anything.
I expect her to be happy.
Just know how to protect yourself.
But how to protect yourself is the most important thing
for a woman, especially today's world.
For me, I think self-defense is equally as important
as paying your car insurance.
If you pay for a car insurance,
you pay for life insurance
or you have medical insurance,
you're investing into your life, right?
And it's something that you value.
Same thing with our homes.
We put security alarms and cameras
and same with our cars,
we push the button to lock it.
And it's the same thing.
We should do that with ourselves,
giving ourselves a skill to be able to protect ourselves.
So for when I meet women who are like,
I would love to do that,
but I am too scared or out,
but you get your nails done or I can't afford it.
You get your nails done.
You get your highlights done.
You pay for this, you get this, all this.
But when it comes to protecting yourself,
what are you gonna do?
And the answer is always, I don't know.
And it should be equally as important
as having an alarm on your car,
having an alarm on your house.
Have the same thing for yourself.
Have self-defense knowledge.
You know, when you were teaching her
twist-or-side control and I'm sitting there going,
oh my God and how to choke from there
or something the one day.
Like a week later, you put a video up of them
sweeping from the mountain and I was like,
just that's so important for a woman.
That is so important for a woman to get thrown down,
acknowledge what position she's in.
And know that she can get out.
Keep her cool, grab his sleeves,
put her feet on his hips
and know that she's got this guy.
His momentum and his weight, if she could keep her cool.
And that's what it is that I want my daughter to have,
her cool.
My wife don't have her cool, my wife thinks to fuck out.
I want my mother, she had her cool.
I've got cool.
But yeah, you have to learn how to react.
And that's what's made me stay with Jiu-Jitsu.
I walked in Jiu-Jitsu with 336 pounds.
And I did my first hip escape.
And I thought it was the end of the world.
I thought it was the ending of my world.
How old were you when you started?
50.
I'm 55 years old.
The first time.
How long have you and Eddie been friends?
Since 2009.
In all those years, you never were like,
I'm gonna take a class from my friend.
I thought it was the most disgusting thing.
I don't ever want to touch a man's foot.
I don't ever want your face.
When I see you preparing for an arm bar from the mountain,
if I smell your asshole,
we're gonna have a problem afterward.
All those things, fungusy feet, all that shit,
I did not want to be involved.
I joined Muay Thai of America down in the corner here.
And then I realized that
it was too many people watching UFC.
I would get people in there.
I thought there were fighters.
There were five guys kicking me
the strength of 10 fucking million.
This is just light sparring here.
What's going on with you?
What are you trying to do right now?
And one day I saw this Jiu-Jitsu school
and I was just sick and I saw Joe Lozant, a UFC fighter.
He had a strategy in all his fights.
He'd take a punch, fake it,
but on the way down, grabbing on the hook,
take it down, get you in close guard.
And after that, it was night nine, Irene.
When you went to pick up the other hand
and you based, you were done.
Done.
And I thought that was the most brilliant thing
I had ever seen.
Right there I knew what Jiu-Jitsu was.
I knew it was invented for a little guy
but that's a big guy.
This is, so what's a little guy against a big guy?
Equate to a woman against 180 pound man
which is the average weight of a man.
That's what Jiu-Jitsu really benefits from Jiu-Jitsu.
If a woman can breathe and keep her cool
while a guy's trying to take his belt buckle off
and take his dick out.
And while he turns, she breaks his fucking elbow.
Or chokes his ass out.
Just chokes his ass out.
It's night nine.
She had, you know, the three things,
if I was a woman that I would work on
was a arm bar to the fucking triangle,
to the fucking closed guard, you know,
where the jacket just reached and put, you know,
cause that's the composure of this guy's
taking his belt off.
He's about to take his dick out.
You wrap that hand, take that lead jacket,
put it around and now he ain't getting up.
He might have his dick out, but you got his fucking,
cause a jacket is a geek.
That's why I don't like when people say,
well, I don't travel, I'm like, no geek.
Listen, I love no geek because it's a shirt.
I could do the same fucking damage.
I love when I walk into a place
and I see somebody with a sweatshirt.
I know if I have a problem, I got half my game.
I got half my game done.
I pull on the sleeves, lay on my back,
and I can wrap them up.
That's all I want.
I want to break nobody's bone.
I just-
Want to control the situation.
I want to control, be able to control the situation.
You know, like right now,
I'm really considering competing in the next year.
You should.
Because it's going to be like comedy.
Even though you get beat up,
you still rise to the next level.
Absolutely.
When comedy, the more you get beat up,
when somebody calls you and you're at the wrong venue,
and you go out there and you die a slow death,
and you go back to your room.
It makes you so much better.
Yeah, and that thought of suicide
comes over you for two seconds.
And then you're like, I'm fine.
I'm just going to eat a cheeseburger
and I'll be on stage tomorrow.
That's my experience.
You've grown.
You've grown.
It doesn't matter whether you want to lose.
It's how you play the game.
So the next day you show up tipped up,
Magoo, and even in losing, you've grown.
You've eliminated that fear,
and now you know how to tackle it.
Because it was fear who beat you.
Yes.
It was fear who beat you.
Fear always beat you.
In there.
In there.
I was watching Creed on the plane on the way back,
and he puts him in front of the mirror,
and he goes, in life, I want you to always remember
that that guy is your biggest enemy,
and that is so true in so many levels.
You stop yourself from either growing,
you stop you, that guy in the mirror.
When I used to do coke,
I wouldn't look at myself in the mirror.
Dang.
When I did coke, I only looked at myself in the mirror
when I combed my hair.
If I was high, I would not look at myself in the mirror.
I would not want to see myself.
No, it's kind of weird.
It makes sense.
It's shame.
I really, really, really appreciate you, what you do.
I hate to say that I appreciate you as a woman I do,
but you've given a whole new meetings to balls and women.
I like what you're doing with those young girls.
I like what you're doing with my daughter, you know?
And I love what you're doing with yourself, man.
Thanks.
You never fucking...
No complaints.
It's always...
People ask me how I am.
No complaints.
I'm good.
And it just goes to prove to you that when you wake up
in the morning, you put a smile on it, I tell people,
like when you attack somebody, like the other day I posted
something in the morning and something in the morning
and somebody attacked me.
And for two minutes, I had to think about,
that's how his day started.
Right.
What's he gonna be like at three o'clock?
Horrible.
That's why when I fucking, as I'm pissing,
Keita, when my fat feet hit the thing,
and I look and my wife's already in the living room
and I hear mercy on the fucking speaker, moving toys.
And as I'm pissing, I'm looking out the window
and you see that first bright of sunshine.
And I'm like, how fucking lucky am I, man?
And then you get on the computer and you go,
I don't care how many times I put it on the,
it's a beautiful fucking day to be alive
because I'm hoping that somebody is looking for a shoe.
It's Monday at 7.45.
And they can't find that fucking shoe.
And they think their world is over.
And I want them to stop and go,
wait a second, it's a beautiful day to be alive.
I'm working, who gives the fuck if my shoe is lost?
You know what?
I'm working like a Hindu till I'm putting slippers on.
I'm going in there, in fact,
I'm not putting socks on
and I'm not gonna put no cream on my feet.
I never heard of Hindu, I heard Jamaican.
Jamaican, whatever, Jamaican, whatever.
I think that when you start the morning
and for years, man, even when I was on drugs,
because when you live from day to day,
you wake up going, today is that day,
I'm gonna mug somebody for a kilo of coke.
Fuck.
Like, even if you're gonna do something bad,
you're like, we say, yeah, today is the day,
we're gonna hit a pony at the race,
we're gonna sell an ounce of coke for this jerk off,
and hopefully we get to rob this other fucking moron.
He's gonna show up down here with 3,000 in cash.
So you're always thinking positively,
even when you're doing bad things.
I wish I had that tough compliment.
Listen, man, when you're out there,
this is who controls your mood.
You know, I love people who love,
hey, listen, I believe in Anthony Robbins,
but you go one time and then you learn
and you have to motivate yourself.
Yeah.
You have to motivate yourself.
That's it, nobody's gonna fucking motivate you for it.
Man, and I tell it to my kids all the time,
you see when they're like, I can't,
and I'm like, that's you saying that.
I didn't tell you you can't do it, right?
So do it right, make the decision right now.
Like, you're in charge of your life.
And when I finally conceptualized that in my brain,
I just said fuck it and created my own lane
like I was telling you.
Like there's not another gym
that's just for women and children
to learn martial arts, where is that?
I created it because I just said fuck it, there isn't that.
So I'm gonna make it.
You make your way, you make your way,
and if you're in your own way,
you're gonna be in your own way.
You're gonna be in your own way.
Get the fuck out of your own way.
I was in front of my own way for fucking years, man.
And once I got out of the way, I was like, how easy is life?
Right, it really is easy.
Like I wake up and I'm like, I love everything.
I'm so grateful.
You know how many people would bitch
about driving to Long Beach five nights a week?
I would, I would, and then I'd say to myself,
how fucking lucky am I that I'm getting paid to wrestle?
I'm getting paid to wrestle.
I have a great time.
It's how, you know, when I would go to the gym
in the morning, today as I was pulling out,
I was on the call Lee and go, how lucky am I
that I get to go here?
I roll three or four times.
I get beat up by two white belts.
My gears drenched.
I can feel my fucking under pants soaking
on the top of the thing.
And I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed getting choked out today.
I enjoyed that I'm 55.
I'm in there just to be able to go in there.
They don't have 55 year old people who are sick right now.
So I look at this as such a fucking,
how lucky we are.
That's it.
It's just great.
I'm never really offended by anything anyone says,
but I remember about a year ago getting offended
by someone that I thought was a friend
saying, not to me, to someone else
that my happiness was fake.
Like, Keith's happiness is fake.
Bitch, what?
Do you know how fucking grateful I am
to be as happy as I am?
I had a really hard life.
Like, fuck you, I'm really happy.
Like, my life is fabulous.
God is fucking good.
I have no complaints.
My happiness is beyond real.
This shit ain't fake.
Keith, where can these people find you?
Cause I try to find the fucking website for you.
I can't find.
Oh, the website's getting done.
I can't find the bully buster.
And I can't find Keith or Wiggins.
Megan, nowhere.
The Pretty Flower on Instagram.
Keith's that means Pretty Flower in Swahili.
So, my Instagram is The Pretty Flower
and TeamBullyBuster is the other Instagram for the company.
And then you can look us up on Yelp or Facebook.
We got great reviews.
No, you do have great reviews, kids.
And I couldn't find your schedule.
That was the one thing.
That's on Yelp and that's also on Instagram too, and Facebook.
No, I think you do a great job.
Thank you.
I hope people watch you on.
When is the season of wrestling?
I don't know.
You're doing some October 21st or 22nd.
October 10th and 11th, we shoot here at the Balaskos.
If you guys are interested in seeing
some women's superheroes kick ass, come through.
And hopefully, Eleanor would be out.
Yeah, Eleanor, I think she's gonna be.
Eleanor Carrigan is an announcer.
Yeah, and she's amazing.
I love her.
And how many girls are part of your wild production?
There's a, we have 31 matches we're doing in those two days.
So, I don't know.
I think there's 27 of us.
And then some of us are wrestling a couple of times.
And do any of your girls graduate to WWE?
No, some girls actually were in the WWE.
So, it's kind of like Bellator in the UFC.
It's not that, like UFC's bigger,
but Bellator pays better.
You know what I mean?
So, it's kind of like that.
Whereas, wow, superheroes in WWE.
It's just, it's neck and neck.
And then what is your next fight?
I don't know yet.
I'll announce that soon.
You are truly amazing.
Thank you.
I love you daily.
I'm happy you took the time and talked about getting bullied
and you were very honest.
And like I said, my daughter's with you.
So, I'm happy the schedule worked out.
I mean, she misses Master Vinny.
But she is just, you know,
between the gloves and the hand wraps and the whole
fucking thing.
She's beside us.
So, pink daddy, I mean, girl,
get a big fucking box of gloves.
So, just thank you for everything that you do
and continued success.
And when is the season?
When does Room 104 start?
We're about to start soon.
So, I think in the next couple of months,
they've already started previewing like episodes.
So.
And then how many episodes did you shoot the first season?
One.
It's an anthology show.
So, each episode will have new actors in the same place.
So, in Room 104.
So, the concept of that whole show
is the people that stay in this hotel
and the people who come back to this hotel and stay there.
So, think about, it's endless.
How many different people stay in a hotel room?
Fucking tremendous.
Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you for being a great teacher.
Thank you for being positive and follow her on Facebook,
Twitter, fucking Instagram.
The Pretty Flower, Team Bully Buster.
And if you're a woman and you listen to this
and you live in the San Fernando Valley.
Come through.
I'm telling you, go through that.
Her and Coach will blow your fucking mind.
Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you guys.
I want to thank Keita Megget for coming on the show today.
She's a tough girl, man.
Guys, she really impresses the fuck out of me.
Her Facebook page is fucking amazing.
She's built and she's created something on her own.
That's just special.
And that's why I take my daughter over there.
And I'm confident that you have a kid.
Go visit her over there on Witset and Riverside.
You're gonna have a great time.
Don't forget, Boston is sold out and Fox was sold out.
But I'm at the Improv in West Palm Beach,
October 11th through October 13th.
And Cleveland, Stiope Mioček.
I'm coming to visit you, Cocksucker.
I'm in Cleveland on the 25th to the 27th at Halarities.
So get your tickets.
You know that they sell out fast.
I don't want to hear stories later
that you didn't know it was going on.
Again, I'd like to introduce Robin Hood
to the church family.
I think this is great.
When my wife downloaded the app,
we went through it and you know me.
I don't know much about this stuff, but it's interesting.
I'm gonna start investing and messing around a little bit
and see what's out there at the stock market.

with the data presented in an easy to digest way.
Like I told you, me and my wife downloaded it
and I think it's tremendous.
The value of Robin Hood is this, all right?

That's important right there.
Now, what I'm gonna do is this.

I don't think so.
I love you all so much.
You look soこれで.
I mean, I love you all.
I love you.
So, I know you guys are a lot more.
I've been around for a long, long year

Had his moment of doubt and pain
Me damn sure the pilot
Washed his hands and sealed his veins
