[00:00:00]Well, everybody's been involved in it at some point. Maybe it's a right of passage for a lot of men in this city.

[00:00:03]>> I see you kind of grown up. Were you kind of involved in like a lot of fights? I just met when you're a wee guy, stuff like that.

[00:00:07]>> I I'm 5'4, so I had to like toughen up in school and stuff like that cuz you don't want a we guy that's going to get beaten about. So, I've got I don't know.

[00:00:15]I used to have that we man syndrome maybe you call I don't I don't that's a word, but I used to have that never back down mentality and that's talking about in school and then when I left school I get involved in a lot of fights outside.

[00:00:24]Used to go to the nightclubs in Glasgow Archaos in the tunnel and I used to be fighting all the time. I think that's just part of growing up in Glasgow. So I mean I probably you guys have been involved in it as well. Everybody's been involved in it at some point. Maybe it's a right of passage for a lot of men in this city. It's not a good thing. But then again, you do learn as well to know do it.

[00:00:39]>> I think most people in Glasgow have obviously grown up with kind of like the gang fighting culture and that as well.

[00:00:43]So it's just something so prevalent I think cuz like we guys it was just kind of fighting out of boredom when it really but then I've noticed like I've seen something recently about basically boys fighting at an older age. And it's all about drugs and money and all that new and like I'm just like what are you doing different when you're going and having an actual martial art and you're doing it professionally and it's going that but he just going and like beating up people mate know what I mean and just jump them and all that. It's just I think it's just a terrible way to be,
