0:00 okay there's two ways a lot of people get into JK one is you either one of the members [Music] or and welcome to a very brotherly episode of the careful boys where we have the brothers today from Marshall Club Andy cuz we're blessed with some siblings here let's talk oh we're brought us oh we're brought us br oh that brought us yeah you know what's funny this is a true story what uh when uh me and Mike first started kjas it was called AMU Black Ops right wow that really hit them yeah like Yo dude yeah was on black go we just love that we were super addicted to Naruto at the time but then it started getting serious where we were getting booked to different things and then we were like oh ████ maybe we

0:51 should like call it something that's not probably already trademarked right so we're trying to come up with like different like ninja type you know like crew name type stuff obviously eventually settled on kjas K ninjas like a family of ninjas blah blah blah um but before we got there we just like brainstorming we had a whole list of a bunch of different things you know and one time uh just in like you know multiple hours of like kind of creative brainstorming like hey what's like the what's like the Japanese word for brothers right so like Googled it oh bu it's like right for whatever reason it was like written like that and then we're like okay I guess that sounds kind and we tried to like bazas yeah and at the same time we realize it it's just a fob ass way of saying

1:43 Brothers what were some of the other contenders for the names oh my God this is like 15 years ago but will never be forgotten funny but yeah let's talk about some bazas wait wait wait how does one join kenas we could barter we can trade Marshall Club you know you just need to have some sort of Leverage if I if I join Marshall Club you guys get the joint can just I see what you're into and what you're not what if you got like we got to like battle you in like yeah is there initiation process for kjas like a application initiation yeah not application how about how about Marshall Club how about Marshall club uh well so first like we don't really recruit we recognize but once we recognize it's

2:33 like um it's like we we got to battle you in but except the ones that um Beyond me Brian and Daniel like we have two other members that joined us this year and they like got the pass they got the pass so technically no no official process yet there we had a little bro that um uh his name's David he's he's like David dang he's wild he's wild he's like um the ODB of he's like the old dirty bastard's like secret weapon he's so like let's say if we were in a battle he's our secret weapon he's like that he's wild Tasmanian Devil and um he was like my first student and I was training him like we've been training with him for years but we like kept him in the chambers until like recent and then bring out the Beast we wanted to battle him in but then like even we didn't want any we just gave him got he's that crazy cuz you guys are

3:25 crazy no he's like wild he he's like we're all different we're we're all different though yeah it's like a different energy yeah do you battle someone in what does that look like well I mean it just depends like yeah for us is like if we we'll probably go for a trick battle trick B that's that's a lot of our foundation so what's this ceremony like you go go to the park or like do you go like to Thailand or like is there a thing the battles are organic um but recently we held a screening for our short film but it was like for Cass and crew and family members only for shaon Avengers and then we were just going to like we we had like a c q a but that we're put him on the spot we're going to put him on the spot and battle him in front of everyone oh wow it's like Ambush but then we had a demo and then him doing that demo with us was like the was like the mark of like okay would he

4:16 have suspected that you guys would call him out randomly like that uh we told him we told him later and then he's like yeah that's right you don't want any the smoke you want the smoke that's so funny so your initiation process comprised of you not even having a test to D just let them in how many people are in Marshall Club right now it's five main members it was three for a while and this last year we we added two more cuz these these guys were just brothers to did it used to be more no we had a family we had like a it's like you had Jackie Chan and the Jackie Chan stunt team we had like a stunt family like but they're really just our friends who came up with us like rewind back to the to the to the uh when you guys were doing the high school the alliance Alliance you didn't have a marshall Club back then or you did so that was called team mfh at that time and we had 12 strong members but we're all like 14 15

5:06 16 so that was a marshall Club yeah that Marshall Club is After High School in college yeah College yeah yeah in college sorry I diverted no no no this is way better than to talk about but um but yeah we it be it came after and then uh yeah we were just all training at an open gym and then when um everyone grew up we were the only ones that stuck around so like the only ones that were still going the the only ones that were not responsible adults yeah cuz we're the only ones that weren't responsible adults the funny thing is when I met you guys you guys didn't even look like brothers and I thought people were joking when they said you guys are brothers I thought you guys were just tight cuz he was he was leaner we we had a more similar frame no dude you were skinnier and he was fatter yeah and then he I think you were bulking you weren't actually fat but then I was just every time I was like

5:58 how is Brian so jumpy and flippable at that size dude everything hurts now though yeah but I mean I remember bar was similar size to you and everyone kept comparing like oh this is like barart but he does back flips sh yeah I was like what the ████ I think it makes a difference training it at a younger age and then like getting bigger later is definitely so you did the flips before you backed on the size yeah yeah dude this guy was likeing transitions like that wasn't done yet and tricking this guy ████ it up man and um and then later he gained weight and like it gets harder but then the style the effect is different like it's you're not maybe you're not as light and limber but like you're still a big thing that's spinning in the air powerful everything just looks powerful thank you guys so dude honestly first

6:50 time I started lifting was when I watched you with like Han champion and like I you like back then after the 24-hour fitness and and you had the plaid shorts oh dude I I want to be ████ these guys are Asian and they're ████ huge I want to be like that that's T yeah did you battle people into Quest did you guys do that nah we didn't do that how do you guys seem like the culture for you guys it was just like friends it's like if you're friends and it just kind of happens is there official initiation process yeah we go to Korean barbecue that's so cool that's how we always did it it's like you you go eat and then uh that's a cere and then at the at that moment you just have everybody vote of course they all going to say yes did you guys go battle a lot as a crew not his quest no I think maybe only a few times very rarely like one time Steve toata and dietrix did a Two on Two And they smoked everybody they won the and it was

7:40 to the point where like and and I think like half they did it because people would always talk ████ and be like our Quest doesn't battle and then we did that and they beat like all the a lot of really good dudes D yeah and it was like a small jam it wasn't like one of those ones where they would feel pressured to not like or anything yeah it was like a local like thing and they just like they I don't know it wasn't really a thing cuz we lik making shows more who who decides who wins is it the crowd like the cheering no it's judges straight up movies bro I'm just kidding I think that that was the original way right it was crowds like like the cyppher batt well dancer style brought that back um for Red Bull where everybody's given like a red or a blue bracelet that's really just good marketing for them but and then you just put your hand up in the air and then that's who decides who moves on but um B boy stuff is usually Jud they didn't even have that many B boys really it it just looked looks like

8:30 we do but we only really had like four I swear all you guys were B Boys Everybody what's the rest of the peoples different styles but then we all have to learn a little bit of each other's thing to make the show look good but then in terms of just breaking like I did Battles by myself or with my old crew I think with I did a couple with Hawk what was your old crew City Drifters oh from where um kind of they drifted in different W West cavina yeah that was kind of the joke cuz everyone kept moving yeah so West I guess you could say and monabell I see yeah but then uh when once we started Quest that was more show focused okay yeah and if someone were to call us out then then you would go battle you know you know that sounds really similar to like us honestly because like when we started like trying to make short films they're like oh like they're not real trickers they're just like ████ they're

9:21 like sellouts whatever right and we go go and like ████ battle him and like and beat him yeah that's cool I think that's a copout thing to me though I think like if someone se you doing something else and they're like yeah but he can't do this yeah but can he do this and that's what they're fighting over dude cuz we it's like but can you do this ████ yeah no he can't do it do you guys b battle into kjas sorry I think you guys asked that yeah yeah we do you guys have to battle Jackson easy though uh or was he was he honorary we have honorary yeah we uh it's his was a everybody's unique in their own so like not everybody got battled in but it depends on the story right most of like the full-time dancers get battled in because like that's like the but that's not even like when you get battled in it's not like after that like uh you're

10:13 like part of the crew but you're like not like brother no until you go through like an initiation and a ceremony and we get hilarious with that ████ that's at like a retreat or something or and it's not like mad serious huh well I'm not allowed to talk about it you know oh it's a secret organization Black Ops but let's just say if you're on this side it's the funnest ████ you guys are like a frat with The Hazing yeah sound what it sound like but uh but when it comes to like for example Jackson uh cuz everything everything is just an organic relationship right it's one day he's like just genuinely like hey dude like you know I want to be on your squad blah blah and then you know you're just like drunk and then next thing you know you're like all right dude uh you got got to do XYZ thing before you can get to this and he's like well I bet you I could do this by this

11:04 time in order to do that and you're like okay like bet like you want to make that and it for him it happened to be he he was like I'm going to get 30 million followers on IG by this time and I was like ████ fine like if you get 30 million followers and you join my squad I think everybody's okay with it but this is like this is like when you had like 12 or 13 million followers yeah so it's like early time and so we were just like obviously just joking I was like drunk and I was like okay you know like and then when he finally hit it is he hit it and and it was when we had just done um his first Coachella performance and hit so then we surprised him by giving him like a jacket a custom one actually I was there I think I was there yeah I think you were there and we brought him on the spot because it's like he no matter how crazy the deal is like you got to keep

11:55 your word as all you know you did something you said you want to for Jackson like imagine I didn't want to give this to you but he forced my hand here so so a number a number of people had like a unique experience but um that's just like you said like the the whole like battl somebody it's like an organic time some people were battled in overseas some people were battled in like right before like competing for like a show because we were just like yo like this is this is meant to happen so let's go do this together like as if it's like a mission that just needs that that player you know and whatever the story calls for is what it is oh dude I love that ask him ask him how to get into JK yeah how do we join you have to get canceled like four times first oh okay well that we're going to number one right now okay there's two ways a lot of people get into JK one is you either

12:47 ████ one of the members or Who's down how I got in or free labor for a long time for a very long time and then you're just like oh my God I'm finally chosen and even when you get paid you don't even get paid that good dude so it's like a yeah it's like it's like more contribution but like movement inter inter circle inter inter circle you actually got to get tattooed really all of us have the same tattoo it's kind of our thing ████ ████ bro out out out that's how hardcore we are everyone has everyone has to have a ████ tattoo see even that's Nast that's ████ my dad St talking to me fear everyone well how come we have what does it mean why did we have to get fear everyone Japanese so funny it goes with the theme of you like my God I love that it's like

13:39 I you're getting cancelled that's so I don't understand why we had to get the tattoo and ████ you guys though yeah yeah no I'm trying to it's a process it's a process put together who did who no it's a process we all we all have to do Joe wait what I wasn't even there you guys didn't receive well no you didn't you didn't have to do both it was either or no so so this the tattoo is from a story that Bart told when he he got this tattoo originally when he was in the military so then when we all joined and started this thing he had to get a second one he got on both shins so this is the original that I got my best friend I joined the military with and then now I have this one damn dude wait how come you military you had to no no it was just me and my best friend oh you and your best friend random I thought it was like in the military was like I fear everyone like what the ████ like it's

14:30 like a sey for yeah by the way I told that's so funny it's ████ the SE I was like he's not going to get away with watching us get a tattoo he's got to get one too we got the Seer five for pretty much yeah oh my God yeah it was a famous story a pretty big commitment man it is it is yeah easier than ████ you guys wait is that what's on the hats too yes yeah you guys want a hat yeah it says fear everyone Japanese please accept a dude thank you I call black ████ thank you guys oh we can give you a black one instead Link in the description box if you guys want Link in the description box if you want a hat baby yeah you guys yeah sick yeah now you could fear everyone

15:22 yeah yeah now you're a part of the there's a there's a there's a paper thing you guys got to pull out I leave it on bro look you know just kid was it just a random like a random um like what like what's this oh his story is really funny how he got this tattoo yeah yeah I want want to hear hear the original and then and why it's a so originally was uh me and my best friend we we were in North Carolina in uh so it's just like us two like two Asian guys in a random like all white area cuz think like back to like 2003 2004 North Carolina yeah North Carolina and then we wanted like we just graduated boot camp so we have like this Warrior spirit so we wanted like some sort of warrior Spirit type tattoo but then I'm Chinese and he's Korean so like let's try to find some common ground where it's like we don't want Chinese on both of us or Korean on both of us so we thought Japanese was in the middle CH Japanese and then but none of us speak Japanese so we went to the

16:13 computer lab on bass and we used Google translate and this is like Google translate version one oh so we type fear no one like fear no one and it spits this thing out like okay cool this is you don't have like a Japanese friend to like double well they Asians there I didn't know him back then yeah and we go to the tattoo shop white guy of course and he's like hey I don't he's like I hope you know like I don't know whatever that is so if it's accurate or whatever I mean it's you're like hey no Google told me yeah like no we're good Google told me so we get the same tattoo then uh I met Joe later on and then when uh Joe's mom when I went to Joe's house I think Joe's mom was like asking Joe like how come you scared of her like what did she say she's like who's your friend afraid of and I'm like what you talking about no you can't that is so wrong and I'm like it

17:04 doesn't make sense and it says that he's scared of everyone so it's the opposite beautiful at least if that Mantra manifested into this and it makes sense for this the theme of this hey I have one question though when you told him that what did he say what was his reaction I don't even remember you must have thought it was funny right remember I'm pretty sure it was like a impactful were you were you like actually embarrassed about it or you thought it was funny from day one ████ I don't remember so long ago he's in denial you're like no ████ that meant I know but me and my mom were cracking up but we didn't know I I don't remember his response did you cry by yourself what was CHR it I don't think so says who I think you were just over yeah maybe I was like what the ████ all that time you thought you would

17:55 say the opposite but I think that was ████ funny though I think it's yeah but then after they heard the story then it became the thing that we were supposed to get it once we cross sub behind so now we're like in on the embarrassment of having it with him that that really solidifies the Brotherhood then I guess like embarrass he's twice as dumb now no they cancel each other out it canceled together everyone and the funny thing is like I got this one like recently right the second one we got it was it last year or two years ago yeah and Andy from my tattoo did it oh really oh you Andy okay and what's funny is uh my kid saw saw it and he goes another one it suits the theme though JK J JK like you guys don't take yourself

18:45 seriously perfect I love it dude it's hard though cuz KRA is like we always say respect all Fe your none oh yeah you do true ████ yeah so I'm just a contradiction you going be like well well you know the original you should get you should get that on your other C canel out just respect all fear all everyone should be here oh it's it's backwards and then it's missing a Not Afraid the main part yeah L it's supposed to be not everyone afraid of not everyone right afraid of not everyone so it's it just says afraid of everyone cuz there's no not that's pretty sick right that's that's Google trans and we got that tatted on us
