0:00 thank you [Music] who here is a fan I feel like I've asked this before of Mr Tom Hardy also just did a jiu jitsu match and won crazy this guy literally just won a jiu jitsu competition he's Bane bro and apparently he was ████ everyone up well how long has he been training dude you ever seen him in that movie the MMA movie What's called the Warriors that actual good movie it's actually a good game but yeah he's like he does like MMA stuff in that movie because he's a fight he plays a fighter in it and he's like very believable as MMA fighter he's he's been trained for that that's not the one wait wait don't say it okay it's not Christian Bale one it's the other one with the other dude who is

0:50 a really good actor but for some reason I don't like him um yeah you hate that guy yeah you like you loved it you love to not like him he was that movie with Jason Bateman where he's like a little weirdo yes it's a gift of that movie yeah exactly yeah that guy we don't know anything who's this guy oh look at him the rest of us cannot like him he's with Nick Nolte movie his name is Joel Edgerton yes yeah yeah yeah Edgerton why don't you like him he's a good actor but for some reason it's you don't uh connect to him uh maybe he's always playing the role that's like the bad one just off of the the hero he's the most normal white looking dude you've ever seen oh you know he's like not never the villain he's almost like but he's not the protagonist he's like a complication in the protagonist and the Will Smith see what you mean he was like his partner right but the alien partner or whatever oh he's the wait wait the orc movie

1:42 where the cops he's the orc yeah he's the orc oh ████ oh he's the ore yeah yeah it's him huh yeah oh I didn't know that was him well I guess we lost Joe dude he's not into this at all I was showing him a picture of the dude yeah yeah Edgar tell her that is Joel Edgerton Edgerton Edgerton I'm not going names I don't know I didn't ever knew his name well there it is Joel see you didn't like him either then point is which uh which which tournament or a competition was this at was it like at a pretty big one so uh this was uh blah blah blah re-org r-e-o-r-g open Jiu Jitsu championship at uh aldersley Leisure Village uh on Saturday August 20th wait so he rolled a bunch of senior citizens it sounds like a retirement time it's like I'm the Leisure World Champion dang I don't know but if that's

2:33 what it is and maybe he he is 44. be in the Masters division yeah young or old for fighter that's pretty old yeah geriatric division yeah yeah I mean I heard the word leisure in there so I was like Leisure World Leisure Village is a good year for our fighters to retire because that's when I'll start ████ ████ up in the 40s I think you peak in your 30s all right cool and then you you're done in your 40s cool I'm gonna wait till you you just wait 45 year olds or get you they have that age division you could be at any age really especially in Jiu Jitsu boxing too and mutak doesn't match up yeah we have 45 55 year olds fighting everybody can fight is there like a different Insurance liability on those or I think Idris Alba did his first pro fight at 40 something

3:24 yeah yeah but he's like I really want to do it so he like trained for he's fighting lions in his last movie he just does not look like he's 25. he looks like he's 35. Idris Elba yeah that guy looks like an old dude yeah she's heimdell black don't crack though you know yeah that's my point really well so um in addition to proving his skills in the sport Tom Hardy is also a trustee of the reord charity which teaches those with life-altering injuries or those who are suffering from PTSD and depression uh the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu oh that's that's nice I like using martial arts as a way for mental health and then this weekend's championships that he just won the profits of which went straight to the good cause Saul Hardy steal the show and not just because of his Hollywood status he actually just ████ fools up I watched one of the I watched I watched

4:15 one of the the matches and then he gets a guy in an arm bar but you can tell like the guy really didn't want to get in one and then I was like I don't know if it was he didn't want to get armed Bart he just don't want to get armbarred by Tom Hardy wait what does that mean when you say he didn't want to get in because like you know what it's like someone has you in an arm bar show him no no you you are someone has them in a at an arm bar look at that technique like um this guy he's fighting he doesn't want it he doesn't want to get tapped out but then I I couldn't tell if this guy was more physically resisting or because of the shame yeah because I'm gonna clown them all day but if there's anyone a celebrity to get armbarred by it's ████ Tom Hardy bro you know like I feel like he's a cool celebrity if I was getting armed by like let's say yeah ████ Rick Moranis dude I'd be

5:05 bummed Miranda is that what you just said I don't want to get armbarred by him who would you want to get armed Barbed by no somebody like the rock because you're like well it's the rock bro or like if it's like so you don't want to get I'm gonna be like Jason Jack Bauer dude I can get our bar by Jack Bauer I'm in anyone that's believable Jada Pinkett Smith yeah she's believable she was Nairobi dude anybody that's believable I think oh snap Florence cute yeah dude could be cool if he's a ████ black widow or whatever she did wrestling movies right yeah oh ████ okay let me think of somebody else um so who's like a lame celebrity you'd want to get beat up by or known to get Michael Sarah Michael Sarah is a good one but he's still likable but he Taps you out you're like oh ████ I got beat

5:55 up by super bad dude but I make love what if he is everybody wants to get their own part by him he like armed by your pinky hanging on for your life you just start randomly attacking you during interviews there's a bunch of celebs that are like undercover badasses like who like Mario Lopez regularly and I've also heard he actually does a lot of amateur boxing he could like like his actual boxing record is pretty good is it Russell Peters uh black belt or some ████ in Jiu Jitsu yeah Purple belt or something so many Jiu Jitsu lovers didn't know that why are they like closet lovers why why are these things they don't promote

6:46 it'll be famous for everything else yeah yeah like Keanu Reeves I think he got like I think he has some belts too I think he's like he probably has so many accolades that like just like on the bottom of his list you know he's probably like you know like freaking ranked number one in Pokemon go because people that are talented that's a sick ass break can you imagine ranked number one yeah number one he's the gym you know like when people are talented they're hella talented in so many different things yeah I hate those people yeah like Ryan yeah Ryan oh Ryan's talented in so many things yeah but I'm also you know a ████ guy and what happened but that's cool everybody else is here you're in the right place man oh dude while I'm making ████ knife nunchucks with my ass dude see this ████ that's like did he just make a weapon this is

7:38 our medial side I could also assume though like um because right now we're talking about like a lot of people who are in like the entertainment industry right you're just you're Tom Hardy's or Keanu Reeves who are also oftentimes put in like action or War films or fighting movies so you have to already get trained for that role like I could that's the Gateway like yeah getting trained and then being like yo this is sick as ████ like imagine you get cast for a superhero movie so you have to learn how to fight some ████ and you get put through the the training rear and suddenly you're like most fit you've ever been you're like I'm down to do this a little bit the difference is though uh getting trained versus going out and competing is like a different world that's what I'm saying like Gateway though like just the fact that you're exposed to it at like a professional level in an environment that's probably uh prioritizing your experience and safety it must be such a

8:30 sick gateway to like get into the things well that's the thing I think it it does take getting over that hump because it's it would be the same if like Michael B Jordan got trained to do all the boxing movies right and then now he actually competes in boxing and when you're actually going out there not to make film but someone's trying to beat your ass it's a way different and they know you're Michael B Jordan yeah and they want to take their ass up yeah I I don't doubt that I'm thinking about like I remember watching the behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings one time and uh Viggo Mortensen right our Aragorn guy very nerdy ████ I remember he ████ was able he had to ride horses for the movie and then he was like ████ love riding horses so every day on his day off you're just ████ ride he plays Polo yeah and I'll be like yo that must be sick as ████ imagine like any type of movie worth even like a war movie right and you just gotta ████ ████ with guns all day or some ████ like that

9:20 there's Karen tactical guys like you see all those celebrities go over there those guys can't shoot like they I don't I don't know anything about shooting guns but in my eyes I'm like they they look like and maybe again if they're in like war and ████ maybe they'll piss and ████ themselves for sure but the idea that you've been trained to be able to like one use the weapon and be fairly good enough to charge that weapon discharge that weapon that's not a badass yeah you get paid and trained by the best yeah that's true I said Alec Baldwin then some ████ yeah dude but I feel like any high level actor truly becomes their role right like they have to like truly like eat sleep and breathe it so become the rapist yeah yeah right so you're gonna be a rapist like this like no everything that the mentality like the the train of thought and whatnot you have to believe yeah what's what's your most favorite and or

10:10 authentic or doesn't matter but fight movie fight movie enough or take it take it Save the Last Dance is that a fight movie no that's a kidnapping movie yeah you know to be honest all Rambo I'll fight MMA fight movies are all a little on the tacky side yeah yeah I haven't seen one where I was like oh dang that was just a good movie because there's a good movie that makes sense that's like us watching Dance movies like we're all kind of funny to us yeah they all most of them suck what about the mark de Costa's movie where he does capoeira Only the Strong yeah that ████ is fine but what about like uh ████ what's that movie oh the creep have you ever seen Creed yeah what do you think about those movies boxing movies are so different boxing yeah boxing has been around so long that's kind of It kind of you can kind of create a story because people have been making movies been making movies

11:00 forever and they choose boxing because there's so much History unit but MMA the history is not that long that's true yeah 25 years now which seems like a lot is to say that to Donnie Yen and everybody who reps Chinese kung fu in the modern Western World you know like that dude you're making a movie about something centuries in the making you know there's a lot of backstory you can put with MMA it's always oh it's the it's the rags the richest Stories the dude that had a heart and he's going through a hard time and now he either made it or he did it or and he has PTSD now yeah yeah yeah he has a rough life you know it's a karate movie where everyone's like that ████ don't work and he's like I know but I still want to keep it going

12:08 because Karate Kid is like one of my favorite ████ films that movie's fire bro ever yeah Karate Kid's crazy you know what I I also think like growing up in Southern California and watching the movies that took place here yeah yeah so it's like the locations and everything all Valley Karate Championship it just feels like it's a part of the neighborhood the best part in a Karate Kid where he's like come on yeah it really made me feel like bullies were gonna roundhouse me have you seen a spin-offs where the freaking Karate Kid is actually the bully yeah yeah it's like dang that's actually when you really look at it it's like dude he ████ everything up that's why you gotta watch Cobra Kai because they built it off of that fan video watched the whole two seasons come on every single season except for the two

12:58 out of the three well that's why Daniel sound becomes the bully too yeah he's the bad guy it's great man foreign [Music]
