Okay, so your dad's a gangster.

I got it.

Tough guy.

Oh, so like there's an intimacy there.

Oh, so getting hate

So is that like supposed to be what, like flaws revealed?

You were supposed to be strong and here you are.

I heard of that guy.

So for people who don't know, Hoyes Gracie is the legendary martial artist that probably introduced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the American audience, to the world, through the process of UFC and showing the effectiveness of it in...
