If you had to summarize Randy Baleski's philosophy, you could probably do it in three words: Boxing saves kids.
A Winnipeg high school teacher and former boxer, Baleski has a unique approach to helping students at risk of not graduating: get them in the ring. FIGHT profiles two of these young men: Rene Catcheway and Melvin Delorme. Both are Aboriginal teens with troubled backgrounds. Melvin remembers his mother drinking and bringing home random guys -- including one who tried to choke him. Rene lives on his own and is failing most of his courses.
Enter the world of boxing. As Melvin and Rene push themselves through one gruelling workout after another (push-ups, skipping, sparring), they slowly come to understand that boxing is more a way of life than a sport. You don't box. You become a boxer, someone whose life is governed by discipline and respect. But boxing alone may not be enough to overcome a lifetime of figurative hard knocks. Melvin is committed to graduating and completing post-secondary studies. Rene is feeling more and more disillusioned with school. With Baleski in their corner, can they make it?

00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:30.458
Two o\'clock I went to bed.
00:00:30.459 --> 00:00:33.501
So it\'s probably just
going to be up to Portage.
00:00:49.918 --> 00:00:51.291
Came a long way.
00:00:51.292 --> 00:00:53.918
Rough childhood and everything.
00:00:55.959 --> 00:00:57.998
After my dad left my mom
started drinking.
00:00:57.999 --> 00:01:01.374
I hear from my grandma that she
was drinking before that
00:01:01.375 --> 00:01:03.542
and that\'s why my dad left.
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.416
When I was about six, seven,
she\'d come home with random guys
from the bar
00:01:10.417 --> 00:01:12.998
and one time her boyfriend came
into the bedroom.
00:01:12.999 --> 00:01:18.124
He took off his belt and then
started hitting me with it
00:01:18.125 --> 00:01:19.458
and I started screaming
00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:24.124
and then he put the belt around
my neck and started choking me.
00:01:24.125 --> 00:01:26.833
At that point I was almost
knocked out.
00:01:26.834 --> 00:01:34.082
I could just see my mom in the
other room just acting like
nothing\'s happening.
00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:35.374
I didn\'t know what to do.
00:01:35.375 --> 00:01:37.998
I didn\'t want to go tell anyone
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:43.042
so I just kept it in, told
nobody about it.
00:01:55.459 --> 00:01:58.750
I usually let my oatmeal sit
and boil,
00:01:58.751 --> 00:02:03.999
like I don\'t like it too
soft and gross tasting.
00:02:08.334 --> 00:02:11.999
Now I gotta wait till the cup
fills up.
00:02:14.417 --> 00:02:17.416
My bed,
00:02:17.417 --> 00:02:18.998
my dresser,
00:02:18.999 --> 00:02:20.791
kitchen,
00:02:20.792 --> 00:02:22.833
stove,
00:02:22.834 --> 00:02:23.998
sock.
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:25.667
The washroom.
00:02:28.584 --> 00:02:31.833
The door\'s been screwed a few
several times.
00:02:31.834 --> 00:02:36.292
We can\'t put it back on so we
just leave it.
00:02:39.792 --> 00:02:45.042
Time usually goes by slow when I
do this.
00:02:47.375 --> 00:02:51.584
Nobody cleaned this kitten.
00:02:51.876 --> 00:02:53.998
Sometimes the apartment block\'s
crazy.
00:02:53.999 --> 00:02:54.918
Parties would happen.
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.249
They\'d play their music till
three in the morning.
00:02:57.250 --> 00:03:00.791
People would run up and down the
stairs screaming.
00:03:00.792 --> 00:03:03.998
We had cops over here a few
times.
00:03:03.999 --> 00:03:07.501
I\'d just keep the door closed.
00:03:07.834 --> 00:03:10.583
\'96 I was hospitalized for like
three months.
00:03:10.584 --> 00:03:13.500
My brother Greg\'s friend stole
a jug of gas
00:03:13.501 --> 00:03:16.082
and we like there\'s this big
hill in their yard
00:03:16.083 --> 00:03:20.958
and I don\'t know who started
pouring the gas on that hill
but,
00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:22.750
it was in flames all of a
sudden.
00:03:22.751 --> 00:03:24.124
My whole sweater caught on fire.
00:03:24.125 --> 00:03:28.791
Eventually I found a puddle of
water and I jumped in it.
00:03:28.792 --> 00:03:32.500
They tried giving me math work
in school but
00:03:32.501 --> 00:03:35.625
I just couldn\'t do it, you know.
00:03:35.626 --> 00:03:36.459
It was like I was in pain.
00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:41.249
I couldn\'t even take the
concentration off it to do
something else.
00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:42.833
I missed lots of school.
00:03:42.834 --> 00:03:46.750
Schools do a great job of making
you into children.
00:03:46.751 --> 00:03:50.541
A 150 years ago most of you
would\'ve been working already,
00:03:50.542 --> 00:03:51.666
some of you would\'ve been
married,
00:03:51.667 --> 00:03:53.124
young men would\'ve been
plowing the land.
00:03:53.125 --> 00:03:56.166
Some of you young women would
already be on your second child,
00:03:56.167 --> 00:03:58.208
and you\'d be treated like
adults.
00:03:58.209 --> 00:03:59.998
Teenagers didn\'t exist.
00:03:59.999 --> 00:04:04.998
These institutions probably
should be torn down and thrown
away.
00:04:04.999 --> 00:04:05.584
That\'s right.
00:04:05.585 --> 00:04:06.834
But I\'m not in charge.
00:04:07.999 --> 00:04:11.249
How many courses do you take?
00:04:11.250 --> 00:04:13.082
Let\'s see, there\'s Math,
00:04:13.083 --> 00:04:15.082
Science,
00:04:15.083 --> 00:04:17.999
English and Geography,
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.124
History.
00:04:19.125 --> 00:04:21.416
Do you do your homework?
00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:21.999
No.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.082
It\'s important that you do your
homework,
00:04:24.083 --> 00:04:26.998
you know you get lot
of marks from there.
00:04:26.999 --> 00:04:30.750
I don\'t know anybody longer than
I\'ve known my mom.
00:04:30.751 --> 00:04:32.998
She\'s the person I\'ve known the
longest.
00:04:32.999 --> 00:04:36.998
So uh, I got something
meaningful,
00:04:36.999 --> 00:04:41.500
a beautiful native woman that
symbolized my mom because,
00:04:41.501 --> 00:04:43.999
you know, I might not live with
her now but
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.249
you know I\'ll always carry her
on my arm.
00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:48.625
She\'ll always be watching my
back.
00:04:48.626 --> 00:04:53.082
The quiz next week will be
simply cut and paste from these
booklets,
00:04:53.083 --> 00:04:55.082
from these questions, so it\'ll
nothing new.
00:04:55.083 --> 00:04:59.416
Okay Rene, let\'s go next door
and have a chat for a minute.
00:04:59.417 --> 00:05:00.458
I work at St. John\'s High School
00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:04.917
as a pre-employment teacher for
at-risk students...
00:05:04.918 --> 00:05:07.750
at risk of
not graduating, that is.
00:05:07.751 --> 00:05:11.374
Rene is a little bit cavalier in
his work ethic.
00:05:11.375 --> 00:05:13.958
Some of my colleagues are
getting a little bit frustrated.
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:20.124
What are the things that are
stopping you from getting here
before nine o\'clock most days?
00:05:20.125 --> 00:05:25.875
Usually I just take long to get
things done before I come here.
00:05:25.876 --> 00:05:28.124
I\'ve seen huge gains and huge
maturity
00:05:28.125 --> 00:05:29.958
but I\'ve had Rene for
three years.
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.998
Someone else might not see the
gains.
00:05:31.999 --> 00:05:33.583
You didn\'t quite make 11 last
year.
00:05:33.584 --> 00:05:35.998
We made a deal with you, if you
motivate yourself,
00:05:35.999 --> 00:05:40.124
if you can work above and
beyond, we will push you up.
00:05:40.125 --> 00:05:42.709
That sound like a plan?
00:05:45.626 --> 00:05:47.791
So I pretty much gotta,
00:05:47.792 --> 00:05:51.998
I got shit, I got shit, I gotta
catch up now.
00:05:51.999 --> 00:05:54.333
Melvin is doing very good
academically.
00:05:54.334 --> 00:05:54.999
He\'s very bright.
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:01.167
He\'s very anxious to do well at
whatever he does.
00:06:08.792 --> 00:06:13.082
I actually recruit a lot of my
own boxing students
00:06:13.083 --> 00:06:14.083
and my hope is,
00:06:14.084 --> 00:06:17.374
is that the discipline they
learn and how to train
00:06:17.375 --> 00:06:20.998
is something that they will
transfer into academics,
00:06:20.999 --> 00:06:26.626
into jobs, into places of
employment, into relationships.
00:06:28.918 --> 00:06:31.998
I have no interest in fighting
in the street anymore.
00:06:31.999 --> 00:06:36.918
Take too many chances, your
number might come up one day.
00:06:40.876 --> 00:06:45.999
The winner, boxing out of the
blue corner.....
00:06:50.751 --> 00:06:53.333
I met Rene and Melvin and um,
00:06:53.334 --> 00:06:54.998
I see a lot of fighters come
through here
00:06:54.999 --> 00:06:56.124
with good intentions at the
beginning
00:06:56.125 --> 00:06:58.458
and a lot of times you see how
much work it is and,
00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:04.666
and you have to actually like,
you have to change a lot of your
life and,
00:07:04.667 --> 00:07:08.791
and a lot of your routine and
your habits and stuff,
00:07:08.792 --> 00:07:11.998
and you have to change a lot of
things to be a boxer
00:07:11.999 --> 00:07:13.998
and takes a lot of commitment.
00:07:13.999 --> 00:07:16.041
Once you guys make a commitment
00:07:16.042 --> 00:07:18.998
you will not be mortal human
beings anymore,
00:07:18.999 --> 00:07:22.458
you will be boxers and it will
change everything in your life.
00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:27.583
Melvin, would you be willing to
throw in support for Rene...
00:07:27.584 --> 00:07:28.250
academically?
00:07:28.251 --> 00:07:30.208
Yeah, I could be there.
00:07:30.209 --> 00:07:31.083
You\'re a witness to this.
00:07:31.084 --> 00:07:33.750
This boy\'s gonna get himself to
grade 12.
00:07:33.751 --> 00:07:35.124
He will do the work.
00:07:35.125 --> 00:07:37.583
He will graduate in June.
00:07:37.584 --> 00:07:40.541
Okay, we\'ve got witnesses.
00:07:40.542 --> 00:07:43.999
I\'m gonna hold you to it.
00:07:46.751 --> 00:07:49.416
So always on the unfinished
side in,
00:07:49.417 --> 00:07:52.625
anchor it around the wrist,
00:07:52.626 --> 00:07:55.291
come diagonally through the palm
on the inside.
00:07:55.292 --> 00:07:58.750
Spread your fingers a little
bit, nice and relaxed...
00:07:58.751 --> 00:07:59.459
Boxing\'s good.
00:07:59.460 --> 00:08:04.374
I see it as a sport and for
fitness - you can never learn
too much.
00:08:04.375 --> 00:08:05.998
Under and around the thumb,
00:08:05.999 --> 00:08:09.166
and then you do the thumb from
the other way,
00:08:09.167 --> 00:08:10.500
around there,
00:08:10.501 --> 00:08:12.708
through the pinky and the
next one,
00:08:12.709 --> 00:08:15.750
through the next one and
the traffic finger.
00:08:15.751 --> 00:08:17.999
You call this the traffic
finger?
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.208
That\'s the traffic finger.
00:08:19.209 --> 00:08:23.998
Just in case you need to signal
someone\'s attention while you\'re
driving
00:08:23.999 --> 00:08:28.125
after they\'ve cut you off.
00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:29.167
Feet together,
00:08:29.168 --> 00:08:31.458
right foot out, right foot back,
00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:33.083
you got a left foot lead.
00:08:33.584 --> 00:08:34.998
The left hand in front of
the nose,
00:08:34.999 --> 00:08:36.458
your thumb should be just
touching your nose all the time.
00:08:36.459 --> 00:08:41.208
Better that you take it yourself
than you take a direct hit from
someone else.
00:08:41.209 --> 00:08:42.998
Right, I want on your cheek.
00:08:42.999 --> 00:08:47.124
OK, uh, so you got one punch,
your left jab.
00:08:47.125 --> 00:08:48.998
That can really jar someone.
00:08:48.999 --> 00:08:49.999
Shoulder covers chin.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.583
\'K, if someone ducks under and
goes to throw a counter-punch
00:08:53.584 --> 00:08:54.998
they\'re not gonna get you in
the chin,
00:08:54.999 --> 00:08:56.166
they\'re gonna get you in
the shoulder.
00:08:56.167 --> 00:08:58.750
You got a straight right like
that...
00:08:58.751 --> 00:09:01.291
you\'re gonna fire it out,
180 degree turn,
00:09:01.292 --> 00:09:02.791
shoulder covers chin,
00:09:02.792 --> 00:09:04.833
heel come up, knee comes down,
00:09:04.834 --> 00:09:05.998
pivot forward with your hip
00:09:05.999 --> 00:09:08.458
so you can throw your weight in
there but still...
00:09:08.459 --> 00:09:10.625
now your weight is now on
your left foot,
00:09:10.626 --> 00:09:12.166
you\'re not gonna go flying
through.
00:09:12.167 --> 00:09:15.500
So basically one, two.
00:09:15.501 --> 00:09:16.998
Now you can put those together.
00:09:16.999 --> 00:09:19.708
Left-right, and always back to
the same spot.
00:09:19.709 --> 00:09:21.917
Now let\'s mix it up one more.
00:09:21.918 --> 00:09:24.041
Left, right, left.
00:09:24.042 --> 00:09:26.625
You feel \'em out with the left.
00:09:26.626 --> 00:09:28.208
You try and hammer him with
the right
00:09:28.209 --> 00:09:33.082
and if they\'re
gonna counter-punch or anything
you need an escape vehicle.
00:09:33.083 --> 00:09:34.998
That\'s the last left.
00:09:34.999 --> 00:09:35.999
\'K, it puts a block up here,
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.458
your right hand is blocked by
your face again
00:09:38.459 --> 00:09:42.583
so you\'re pretty much impervious
to most counter-punches.
00:09:42.584 --> 00:09:45.208
OK, just try that.
Move around the ring.
00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:47.041
Try those four punches you got.
00:09:47.042 --> 00:09:49.208
I\'m pleased with the way it\'s
going for both of them.
00:09:49.209 --> 00:09:53.625
I hope that it makes school
easier to come to
00:09:53.626 --> 00:09:55.208
when they\'ve got someone to
relate to,
00:09:55.209 --> 00:09:59.291
someone to talk to about their
progress and boxing,
00:09:59.292 --> 00:10:01.041
and come to school and do the
same thing
00:10:01.042 --> 00:10:05.501
and school at that point becomes
a means to an end.
00:10:10.209 --> 00:10:11.500
How are you guys?
00:10:11.501 --> 00:10:12.083
I\'m all right.
00:10:12.084 --> 00:10:15.750
Last saturday we trained with
uh, Mr. Baleski.
00:10:15.751 --> 00:10:16.998
Pretty crazy shape, eh?
00:10:16.999 --> 00:10:20.292
Yeah, had us sweating bullets.
00:10:50.876 --> 00:10:52.999
When you run around here
00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:00.751
all you smell is listerine and
some other stuff.
00:11:28.501 --> 00:11:31.999
Oh, keep going until the end.
00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:43.998
All right guys, let\'s gather
around the ring here.
00:11:43.999 --> 00:11:48.917
What I\'d like you to do is keep
your elbows, or your knees nice
and bent,
00:11:48.918 --> 00:11:53.333
hands up on your cheek,
throw the jab,
00:11:53.334 --> 00:11:57.709
the left foot start going around
the ring.
00:11:59.501 --> 00:12:01.083
Stop crossing over.
00:12:04.626 --> 00:12:07.751
Go, come on, elbows in.
00:12:11.626 --> 00:12:15.792
Hands up, knees up, let\'s go.
00:12:17.751 --> 00:12:21.333
Make sure you work on your
footwork.
00:12:21.334 --> 00:12:24.250
Make this quick, everybody.
00:12:35.167 --> 00:12:39.998
Hammer down, four, three, two
and one.
00:12:39.999 --> 00:12:42.375
Back on the bag.
00:12:45.876 --> 00:12:47.333
Let\'s go, ten,
00:12:47.334 --> 00:12:48.209
nine,
00:12:48.209 --> 00:12:49.042
eight,
00:12:49.042 --> 00:12:49.999
seven,
00:12:49.999 --> 00:12:50.918
six,
00:12:50.918 --> 00:12:51.667
five,
00:12:51.667 --> 00:12:52.584
four,
00:12:52.584 --> 00:12:53.501
three,
00:12:53.501 --> 00:12:54.501
two,
00:12:54.501 --> 00:12:55.167
one,
00:12:55.167 --> 00:12:55.999
five,
00:12:55.999 --> 00:12:56.999
four,
00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:57.834
three,
00:12:57.834 --> 00:12:58.542
two,
00:12:58.542 --> 00:12:58.999
one.
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.374
Last, ten, nine,
00:13:00.375 --> 00:13:01.750
head\'s up, eight,
00:13:01.751 --> 00:13:02.917
seven,
00:13:02.918 --> 00:13:03.667
six,
00:13:03.667 --> 00:13:04.626
five,
00:13:04.626 --> 00:13:05.292
four,
00:13:05.292 --> 00:13:06.167
three,
00:13:06.167 --> 00:13:06.751
two,
00:13:06.752 --> 00:13:08.999
and one.
Feel that burn?
00:13:24.459 --> 00:13:26.998
My brother lived with my mom.
00:13:26.999 --> 00:13:30.958
They got into a lot of arguments
and he got kicked out.
00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:33.291
I told him to come and live
with me,
00:13:33.292 --> 00:13:37.374
that I don\'t want him to be
involved in gangs.
00:13:37.375 --> 00:13:38.666
I think he\'s doing good.
00:13:38.667 --> 00:13:43.041
I didn\'t ever think my brother
could be a fighter.
00:13:43.042 --> 00:13:44.998
I thought he was like a wimp.
00:13:44.999 --> 00:13:50.666
He tries to show me some moves,
which is kinda helpful.
00:13:50.667 --> 00:13:52.374
I\'ll go watch if he fights,
00:13:52.375 --> 00:13:58.792
unless he doesn\'t want to let me
see him get punched out.
00:14:02.999 --> 00:14:04.998
We do the warm-up,
mile and a half.
00:14:04.999 --> 00:14:05.999
Three rounds of skipping,
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.541
three rounds of shadow boxing,
00:14:07.542 --> 00:14:11.501
then we\'ll do three rounds on
the heavy bag.
00:14:12.292 --> 00:14:13.000
\'K, don\'t move.
00:14:13.001 --> 00:14:17.917
Don\'t hop - waste energy big
time, and you don\'t let anything
...
00:14:17.918 --> 00:14:22.584
♪♪♪♪
00:14:25.209 --> 00:14:26.209
Good.
00:14:27.417 --> 00:14:29.751
That\'s good.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:35.416
You\'re on the balls of your feet
remember, never go flat-footed.
00:14:35.417 --> 00:14:36.708
Okay, good.
00:14:36.709 --> 00:14:37.125
Melvin.
00:14:37.125 --> 00:14:38.083
Are they willing to come out?
00:14:38.084 --> 00:14:39.625
Are they willing to do the work?
00:14:39.626 --> 00:14:41.625
Are they going to believe in
themselves?
00:14:41.626 --> 00:14:43.416
Show me the right hand a little.
00:14:43.417 --> 00:14:44.998
Good, oh that\'s nice, good.
00:14:44.999 --> 00:14:46.416
And they don\'t have to believe
in me.
00:14:46.417 --> 00:14:49.998
You know, who am I but some
middle-aged former boxer.
00:14:49.999 --> 00:14:51.666
They need to believe in
themselves.
00:14:51.667 --> 00:14:54.998
If they want it badly enough
they\'ll do it.
00:14:54.999 --> 00:14:56.541
You got a beautiful reach.
00:14:56.542 --> 00:15:01.834
Make sure that someone my size
can never get inside you.
00:15:02.125 --> 00:15:10.125
I figured, I work on my hook so
I could like break a rib or two.
00:15:11.292 --> 00:15:12.042
If you\'re injured, yes,
00:15:12.043 --> 00:15:15.166
you, you got a good shot in the
head and you\'re seeing stars,
00:15:15.167 --> 00:15:17.958
you don\'t mess around cause you
don\'t want to be 50 years old,
00:15:17.959 --> 00:15:21.917
get up and start shadow boxing
when the phone rings.
00:15:21.918 --> 00:15:23.998
For that you will go down and
you stay down,
00:15:23.999 --> 00:15:26.998
but if it\'s just conditioning
cause you\'re cramping,
00:15:26.999 --> 00:15:28.583
suck it up and finish
your round.
00:15:28.584 --> 00:15:32.416
Never leave a round unfinished,
never give in, ever, ever.
00:15:32.417 --> 00:15:37.708
If you want to learn or you want
to get motivated with sports
it\'s here,
00:15:37.709 --> 00:15:40.501
it\'s what\'s in your heart.
00:15:53.209 --> 00:15:56.459
Come in.
What is going on here?
00:15:56.834 --> 00:15:58.541
Well, what are they filming
you for?
00:15:58.542 --> 00:16:01.999
Um, documentary on uh, becoming
a boxer.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.999
So how\'s that going?
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.208
It\'s going good,
it\'s going good.
00:16:04.209 --> 00:16:08.333
That\'s good. It\'s a lot of
discipline in that sport.
00:16:08.334 --> 00:16:09.958
Last year of high school too.
00:16:09.959 --> 00:16:11.416
Yeah, I hope you\'re graduating.
00:16:11.417 --> 00:16:13.708
Oh yeah, that\'s the plan,
that\'s the plan.
00:16:13.709 --> 00:16:16.958
So when\'s your first match?
I\'d like to see that.
00:16:16.959 --> 00:16:20.292
Mm, well I\'m starting to spar
this week.
00:16:32.876 --> 00:16:34.124
With Rene and uh, Melvin,
00:16:34.125 --> 00:16:36.666
we\'re taking these guys right
from square one and,
00:16:36.667 --> 00:16:40.998
but we\'ve seen a lot of things
with the challenges around
those,
00:16:40.999 --> 00:16:41.751
both those kids.
00:16:41.752 --> 00:16:43.124
There\'s some underlying issues
there and
00:16:43.125 --> 00:16:46.291
it\'s so important like
these kids have an identity and
00:16:46.292 --> 00:16:49.999
that\'s what I was searching for
all my life was an identity and
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.999
never liked who I was.
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.666
I was never comfortable in my
own skin and, and uh,
00:16:53.667 --> 00:16:58.626
drugs and alcohol just kinda
went along with that, right?
00:17:00.125 --> 00:17:02.708
After sobering up at 31 and
going to boxing
00:17:02.709 --> 00:17:09.792
it was a huge deal for me cause
I wanted to do it since I was a
little kid.
00:17:09.999 --> 00:17:11.998
There\'s so much that goes into
being a boxer.
00:17:11.999 --> 00:17:16.542
It\'s gotta be a lifestyle if you
want to do anything with it.
00:17:22.751 --> 00:17:24.166
First time these guys are
getting in.
00:17:24.167 --> 00:17:27.209
They\'ve been training for a
couple months now.
00:17:29.959 --> 00:17:33.041
I\'m just nervous to hit other
people, you know.
00:17:33.042 --> 00:17:35.750
I\'m not a physical person.
00:17:35.751 --> 00:17:38.541
I don\'t use violence to solve
my issues.
00:17:38.542 --> 00:17:42.374
I don\'t care, man, I\'ll fight
today, tomorrow, in my sleep.
00:17:42.375 --> 00:17:45.124
I\'ve been waiting to do this.
00:17:45.125 --> 00:17:46.583
You guys want to get ready?
00:17:46.584 --> 00:17:50.374
You guys bring your uh,
your helmets?
00:17:50.375 --> 00:17:54.000
The ones you wear on the bus to
school?
00:18:03.542 --> 00:18:05.249
All right, all right,
there we go.
00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:06.750
Is your mouth guard good?
00:18:06.751 --> 00:18:07.999
Mmhm.
00:18:15.999 --> 00:18:17.709
Watch your arm.
00:18:20.417 --> 00:18:22.542
You OK?
00:18:22.999 --> 00:18:26.249
There\'s a saying that what
people fear the most in the
world,
00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:27.998
and one is public speaking...
00:18:27.999 --> 00:18:28.459
Right.
00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:30.998
And the other is uh, death...
00:18:30.999 --> 00:18:31.584
Yeah.
00:18:31.585 --> 00:18:33.998
And the other one is getting
into the boxing ring.
00:18:33.999 --> 00:18:34.667
No way, really!
00:18:34.668 --> 00:18:36.751
Well, we say that.
00:18:38.292 --> 00:18:42.208
Nice straight punches, straight
out, straight back, \'K?
00:18:42.209 --> 00:18:45.708
Watch your weight, don\'t hammer
me, \'kay, you know what I mean?
00:18:45.709 --> 00:18:46.709
Hand\'s up.
00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:49.083
You can throw harder than that.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.999
Hands Up
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.416
So when you\'re throwing your jab
00:18:52.417 --> 00:18:54.416
you\'re going like this. \'K.
00:18:54.417 --> 00:18:58.249
You want to keep it here, throw
it there,
00:18:58.250 --> 00:18:59.501
\'K?
00:19:00.417 --> 00:19:01.459
\'K?
00:19:07.417 --> 00:19:09.000
Hand\'s up.
00:19:16.167 --> 00:19:17.959
Don\'t cross your feet.
00:19:23.542 --> 00:19:25.333
Hands up, hands up.
00:19:25.334 --> 00:19:27.459
Proper footwork.
00:19:31.542 --> 00:19:32.834
Good.
00:19:46.999 --> 00:19:48.166
Good, you guys.
00:19:48.167 --> 00:19:49.958
That was kick ass.
00:19:49.959 --> 00:19:51.208
\'K, you two go now.
00:19:51.209 --> 00:19:55.375
Nice and easy though \'K.
We\'re just practicing.
00:19:55.667 --> 00:19:57.501
Nice straight punches.
00:19:58.999 --> 00:20:00.209
Good.
00:20:00.626 --> 00:20:03.041
See, there\'s no way he should be
able to get in now with your
reach.
00:20:03.042 --> 00:20:06.125
Just pepper him with that jab.
00:20:09.751 --> 00:20:12.458
Keep that right hand,
watch your weight you guys.
00:20:12.459 --> 00:20:13.000
I know, I know.
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:13.999
Keep your right hand right here.
00:20:13.999 --> 00:20:14.999
And keep my shoulders loose.
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.166
Yeah, no, just... \'K, just
don\'t, just take it in, man.
00:20:18.167 --> 00:20:22.333
You don\'t gotta say something,
you know what I mean, like just
keep your hand here.
00:20:22.334 --> 00:20:23.500
When you\'re throwing your jab.
00:20:23.501 --> 00:20:26.583
Well it felt like at that time
against Rene,
00:20:26.584 --> 00:20:28.791
felt like he had intentions.
00:20:28.792 --> 00:20:32.208
Um, like there was that tension
between us,
00:20:32.209 --> 00:20:36.999
and he had an objective to try
and hurt me.
00:20:40.125 --> 00:20:42.292
Keep that right hand up.
00:20:45.667 --> 00:20:46.501
Keep that right hand up.
00:20:46.502 --> 00:20:49.541
I\'m gonna tape it to your head,
\'K?
00:20:49.542 --> 00:20:52.998
Keep it right here, \'K?
00:20:52.999 --> 00:20:54.709
Time.
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.500
It\'s fun, \'eh?
00:20:59.501 --> 00:21:01.208
Oh yeah.
00:21:01.209 --> 00:21:02.167
It\'s good, pump that jab.
00:21:02.168 --> 00:21:05.167
He\'s a little guy - shouldn\'t
be able to get in on it.
00:21:11.834 --> 00:21:13.792
Get it back up.
00:21:27.709 --> 00:21:29.999
Come on Melvin. Let\'s go.
00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:32.542
Let it come out, Melvin.
00:21:32.999 --> 00:21:33.999
Come on, don\'t get frustrated.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:34.959
You\'re okay, you\'re okay.
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.042
Don\'t get frustrated, come on.
00:21:37.709 --> 00:21:42.541
So Melvin, you know, part of
boxing...
00:21:42.542 --> 00:21:43.833
Something else is going on here.
00:21:43.834 --> 00:21:44.459
He\'s not hurt.
00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:46.416
You do have to get used to
getting hit,
00:21:46.417 --> 00:21:47.917
but there wasn\'t, that wasn\'t
what that was.
00:21:47.918 --> 00:21:53.959
Come on, get up and just move
around, move around, move
around, move around.
00:21:55.918 --> 00:21:57.500
Just move around, you\'re fine.
00:21:57.501 --> 00:21:59.334
Go get some water.
00:21:59.751 --> 00:22:05.583
Come on out, come on out, just
grab your water and come on out
and just loosen up in front of
the mirror, OK?
00:22:05.584 --> 00:22:07.583
Unless you want to talk
about it.
00:22:07.584 --> 00:22:08.998
You want to say something?
00:22:08.999 --> 00:22:11.249
No? Right...
00:22:11.250 --> 00:22:12.917
It brought everything back,
so...
00:22:12.918 --> 00:22:16.998
Is it? OK, OK, OK.
I understand.
00:22:16.999 --> 00:22:18.374
It\'s bringing back all the...
00:22:18.375 --> 00:22:20.374
Yeah, sometimes boxing does
that.
00:22:20.375 --> 00:22:24.666
I could talk to you on that too
there buddy because I went
through physical abuse,
00:22:24.667 --> 00:22:27.998
so if you ever need to talk
privately we can do that, OK?
00:22:27.999 --> 00:22:29.998
This is why boxing was so huge
in my life,
00:22:29.999 --> 00:22:32.998
it just helped me deal with all
that stuff and,
00:22:32.999 --> 00:22:34.998
and not running and facing my
fears and,
00:22:34.999 --> 00:22:37.458
and getting through
all that stuff.
00:22:37.459 --> 00:22:41.458
Like I came in the dressing room
many times, I didn\'t want
anybody to see me,
00:22:41.459 --> 00:22:42.998
and I just broke down by myself.
00:22:42.999 --> 00:22:44.875
But it\'s OK.
It\'s OK to be vulnerable
00:22:44.876 --> 00:22:46.625
and it\'s OK to show your
emotions, man,
00:22:46.626 --> 00:22:50.167
that\'s what a man\'s all about.
00:22:55.667 --> 00:22:56.875
I was boxing yes
00:22:56.876 --> 00:22:58.833
It was nerve racking at first
00:22:58.834 --> 00:23:03.708
and then after I got over the
nervousness something else came
after that,
00:23:03.709 --> 00:23:06.998
just brought back so many bad
memories of uh,
00:23:06.999 --> 00:23:12.833
violence within the family and
how violence tore apart the
family and everything.
00:23:12.834 --> 00:23:20.834
Emotions ran high after that and
then... lucky it was the last
round when that happened.
00:23:20.999 --> 00:23:24.082
Made me relive everything I\'ve
been through.
00:23:24.083 --> 00:23:26.998
When he would hit me and like
you get that flash
00:23:26.999 --> 00:23:33.999
and it just showed me images of
me getting hit.
00:23:53.042 --> 00:23:56.958
The period from the beginning of
september until Christmas
00:23:56.959 --> 00:23:59.458
is the longest stretch of the
school year.
00:23:59.459 --> 00:24:03.999
So those of you have done this
time and are successful
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.998
have really got it happening,
00:24:05.999 --> 00:24:08.875
and I\'m gonna ask people to
simply
00:24:08.876 --> 00:24:13.124
say out loud about something
they\'re glad and happy about.
00:24:13.125 --> 00:24:18.249
I\'m glad to have all these
people here and that I can call
my friends.
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:21.999
I guess I\'m happy for making it
this far to grade 12.
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.166
I\'m grateful that there are so
many,
00:24:23.167 --> 00:24:28.249
in fact I don\'t think
there\'s ever been so many still
here at Christmas, uh,
00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:30.374
that had started in September.
00:24:30.375 --> 00:24:31.250
Thank you.
00:24:31.251 --> 00:24:32.998
I take a pass.
00:24:32.999 --> 00:24:33.959
Yes you may.
00:24:33.959 --> 00:24:34.501
Thank you.
00:24:34.502 --> 00:24:36.333
Uh, guess I\'m thankful I could
prove to all these teachers.
00:24:36.334 --> 00:24:42.208
You got a kid who almost failed
can get the highest honour roll
mark in pre-employment.
00:24:42.209 --> 00:24:46.998
I\'m happy I\'m graduating,
finally.
00:24:46.999 --> 00:24:52.208
Um, \'K, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:24:52.209 --> 00:24:57.750
I was respectful and listened to
you guys.
00:24:57.751 --> 00:24:59.374
OK.
00:24:59.375 --> 00:24:59.999
Wow.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.041
Now I\'m nervous, everyone\'s
looking at me.
00:25:03.042 --> 00:25:06.998
OK well, I\'m glad that I\'m in
grade 12.
00:25:06.999 --> 00:25:09.416
Many people in my family been
helping me
00:25:09.417 --> 00:25:15.208
and a lot of family members also
didn\'t think I would make it
this far.
00:25:15.209 --> 00:25:23.209
Um, so I\'m gonna keep going...
and uh, continue with a
post-secondary.
00:25:27.999 --> 00:25:32.999
Way to go!
00:25:39.999 --> 00:25:42.333
Math and science, Melvin.
00:25:42.334 --> 00:25:43.583
Scoring particularly high.
00:25:43.584 --> 00:25:48.500
He did an incredible jump in
English to a pass.
00:25:48.501 --> 00:25:48.999
OK.
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.708
And uh, same thing with History.
He\'s now passing.
00:25:50.709 --> 00:25:52.998
Oh, I found a difference in the
amount of work he\'s handing in
00:25:52.999 --> 00:25:56.998
just since he\'s decided to set
the goal of going to university.
00:25:56.999 --> 00:25:57.792
Yeah, so...
00:25:57.793 --> 00:26:01.998
And Melvin just went to the
reserve to talk to his chief
over the weekend...
00:26:01.999 --> 00:26:02.501
Yeah.
00:26:02.502 --> 00:26:04.998
Cause he\'s going up there to
look into funding...
00:26:04.999 --> 00:26:05.542
OK.
00:26:05.543 --> 00:26:06.998
University for next year, so.
00:26:06.999 --> 00:26:07.334
OK.
00:26:07.334 --> 00:26:07.999
Perfect timing.
00:26:07.999 --> 00:26:08.959
Let\'s talk about Rene.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.998
Rene has failed the first two
terms of History.
00:26:11.999 --> 00:26:13.625
He didn\'t even show up for his
exam.
00:26:13.626 --> 00:26:20.626
And English he\'s failed the
first two terms, and again he
didn\'t show up for his exam.
00:26:20.999 --> 00:26:24.208
They\'re good teachers.
I just feel like I let them
down.
00:26:24.209 --> 00:26:28.291
I don\'t want to be around
teachers that I feel like I
failed, you know.
00:26:28.292 --> 00:26:31.625
Just feel like giving up on, you
know, going to school period.
00:26:31.626 --> 00:26:34.834
He may not even finish grade 11
again.
00:26:36.209 --> 00:26:38.998
I kept boxing and you know,
00:26:38.999 --> 00:26:39.999
I thought it was a lot of fun.
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.998
I thought it\'s what I wanted to
do but I\'m kinda,
00:26:44.999 --> 00:26:47.791
kinda lost interest in it.
00:26:47.792 --> 00:26:48.917
I mean the sparring was good but
00:26:48.918 --> 00:26:52.998
now I got my sparring privileges
taken away because I didn\'t go
to any classes
00:26:52.999 --> 00:26:56.998
and kinda didn\'t like that,
you know.
00:26:56.999 --> 00:27:02.166
I mean I worked hard to start
sparring, you know.
00:27:02.167 --> 00:27:04.998
I always wanted to do Muay Thai
or kickboxing.
00:27:04.999 --> 00:27:11.998
Was always something I felt more
passionate about than boxing.
00:27:11.999 --> 00:27:13.166
You know, I realize what I want.
00:27:13.167 --> 00:27:19.375
Like, figured I may as well make
a career out of this.
00:27:19.751 --> 00:27:22.998
Sometimes the only thing I can
do is give the student
00:27:22.999 --> 00:27:24.917
some framework and say look,
here\'s what is.
00:27:24.918 --> 00:27:31.082
You can\'t have a fantasy about
being a, a boxer or being a
fighter
00:27:31.083 --> 00:27:33.541
and that uh, it all just
happens.
00:27:33.542 --> 00:27:36.750
There\'s a tremendous amount of
work that goes into it.
00:27:36.751 --> 00:27:37.998
You have to ask yourself
00:27:37.999 --> 00:27:39.999
do you really have the
self-discipline
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.208
to be the kind of ultimate
fighter that you want to be.
00:27:42.209 --> 00:27:49.374
If he\'s gonna be an athlete he
has to take on the lifestyle of
one and the dedication.
00:27:49.375 --> 00:27:50.458
I don\'t think he has it.
00:27:50.459 --> 00:27:51.250
I think he\'s lazy.
00:27:51.251 --> 00:27:54.082
I think he\'s living in a dream
world fantasy,
00:27:54.083 --> 00:27:55.374
looking at magazines and hoping
00:27:55.375 --> 00:27:56.998
one day he can be some of those
guys,
00:27:56.999 --> 00:27:59.998
but as a 19-year-old he\'s
already past it.
00:27:59.999 --> 00:28:04.374
The clock is ticking in terms of
this dream.
00:28:04.375 --> 00:28:04.999
Well...
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.708
No, seri... it\'s ticking in
terms of this dream.
00:28:07.709 --> 00:28:13.833
In sport you get so many years
to develop and work yourself
along,
00:28:13.834 --> 00:28:14.875
and guys that are 19 and 20
00:28:14.876 --> 00:28:19.998
should be well on into their
careers in terms of where they
are in their development.
00:28:19.999 --> 00:28:26.082
You need to be accountable and
responsible for what is going on
here.
00:28:26.083 --> 00:28:30.999
As things stand right now in the
report card, you\'re still
incomplete for grade 11.
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.998
In terms of where he is with
that ultimate fighting thing,
00:28:34.999 --> 00:28:36.708
it\'s a dream that is doomed to
failure.
00:28:36.709 --> 00:28:40.416
You know, maybe having him
suffer the problems he\'s gonna
suffer
00:28:40.417 --> 00:28:41.500
trying to get a job right now
00:28:41.501 --> 00:28:47.500
and continue with school may
be the splash of cold water he
needs.
00:28:47.501 --> 00:28:47.999
So.
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.249
That\'s where that\'s at right
now.
00:28:49.250 --> 00:28:50.000
I liked them at first.
00:28:50.001 --> 00:28:51.791
I don\'t like them that much
anymore.
00:28:51.792 --> 00:28:58.501
Picture his face on a couple
punching bags and went to town.
00:29:02.417 --> 00:29:07.791
Rene, he was possibly having
several bad days in a row
00:29:07.792 --> 00:29:13.959
and he just gave up and didn\'t
come back.
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.791
So I know you wanted to, you
want to talk privately after or
what?
00:29:35.792 --> 00:29:37.708
No, I got my own agenda...
00:29:37.709 --> 00:29:38.167
Yeah?
00:29:38.168 --> 00:29:39.959
To stick to.
00:29:40.999 --> 00:29:45.625
Well, I don\'t know man, like I
just want you to know that uh, I
don\'t know.
00:29:45.626 --> 00:29:50.166
Like all the camera stuff aside
man, like I\'m here for you and
...
00:29:50.167 --> 00:29:50.918
Sure.
00:29:50.919 --> 00:29:54.583
You can use my number, man,
like... and every monday night
we meet up here, \'K?
00:29:54.584 --> 00:29:57.082
Mmhm. I tend to do things on my
own.
00:29:57.083 --> 00:30:02.583
Yeah, well it\'s, I can see how
unhappy that\'s making you, man.
00:30:02.584 --> 00:30:10.584
You know, you\'re not... like I
don\'t know, uh, I want to help
you out, man.
00:30:12.751 --> 00:30:15.166
Nobody can help me in my
situations.
00:30:15.167 --> 00:30:16.998
Listen, you know what?
00:30:16.999 --> 00:30:17.999
No, like seriously,
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.791
I\'ve asked for help before and
it\'s just no point in asking for
help for,
00:30:22.792 --> 00:30:24.166
from anybody so why mask for
help?
00:30:24.167 --> 00:30:26.998
Well, I\'ve told you a hundred
times that I can help you.
00:30:26.999 --> 00:30:30.501
I don\'t care.
00:30:38.542 --> 00:30:41.417
You still got my number?
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.999
There was too much pride in me
at the time to ask anybody for
help
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:58.750
because I made it so far by
myself without asking for help.
00:30:58.751 --> 00:31:01.791
So, it was just more of a pride
issue.
00:31:01.792 --> 00:31:07.750
Went to school probably day
later or something.
00:31:07.751 --> 00:31:10.708
I lost focus I guess you could
say.
00:31:10.709 --> 00:31:12.998
Uh, dropped out.
00:31:12.999 --> 00:31:19.416
I just started to see myself as
just another Indian.
00:31:19.417 --> 00:31:23.416
Good for nothing, troublemaker,
criminal.
00:31:23.417 --> 00:31:30.999
That\'s what, that\'s what I
thought of myself at that point
in time.
00:31:31.501 --> 00:31:35.998
A few issues of the past came
out from the, from the training,
from the boxing.
00:31:35.999 --> 00:31:43.542
He just started fizzling after
that and we lost him too.
00:31:47.501 --> 00:31:52.999
You\'re gonna see the most
incredible sport that I ever
witness.
00:31:53.999 --> 00:31:56.082
You\'re gonna see mixed
martial arts.
00:31:56.083 --> 00:31:57.998
This is the real thing, best man
wins.
00:31:57.999 --> 00:32:00.374
Glad to meet you, Rene.
My name is Tony Condello.
00:32:00.375 --> 00:32:03.291
I\'m the president owner of
Ultimate Cage Wars.
00:32:03.292 --> 00:32:07.999
Because you\'re really interested
to going to the mixed martial
arts
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.708
then you\'re gonna learn
properly.
00:32:09.709 --> 00:32:11.666
Hi, I\'m Chris Stranger.
00:32:11.667 --> 00:32:12.626
Dwight Sutherland.
00:32:12.626 --> 00:32:13.250
Hi, I\'m Rene.
00:32:13.251 --> 00:32:16.666
I been doing uh, mixed martial
arts for about three years.
00:32:16.667 --> 00:32:18.998
I also do my own fights in
Peguis.
00:32:18.999 --> 00:32:22.998
Give him my card,
I can set him up at my shows.
00:32:22.999 --> 00:32:23.584
Are you for it?
00:32:23.585 --> 00:32:24.791
Yeah man, I\'m for it.
00:32:24.792 --> 00:32:25.834
Not a problem.
00:32:30.667 --> 00:32:31.459
How\'s it going everybody?
00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:34.998
It\'s almost 1:25 and for all you
duck hunters,
00:32:34.999 --> 00:32:37.875
don\'t forget you have to
register for the duck hunt.
00:32:37.876 --> 00:32:38.998
We have some guests in the
studio here.
00:32:38.999 --> 00:32:43.208
Peguis\' very own Chris
Stranger, Dwight Sutherland,
Rene Catcheway.
00:32:43.209 --> 00:32:46.666
Chris, uh, why don\'t you
introduce the fellows here?
00:32:46.667 --> 00:32:48.666
Well uh, this is Dwight.
00:32:48.667 --> 00:32:51.917
Rene uh, seen Dwight at his pro
fight and uh,
00:32:51.918 --> 00:32:53.583
decided to pick him I guess to
uh,
00:32:53.584 --> 00:32:56.998
come and get into mixed martial
arts cause he\'s a boxer.
00:32:56.999 --> 00:32:57.459
Yeah.
00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:58.875
He\'s gonna train with me.
00:32:58.876 --> 00:33:01.541
He\'s gonna fight in my show in
Peguis here.
00:33:01.542 --> 00:33:04.541
I\'m gonna start out with
stretches now, go to the hips.
00:33:04.542 --> 00:33:10.998
Jujitsu, Muay Thai, kick boxing,
boxing is all hip movement.
00:33:10.999 --> 00:33:12.583
Large circles.
00:33:12.584 --> 00:33:16.250
Very important stretch out...
Forward.
00:33:16.584 --> 00:33:20.124
This is really what I wanted to
get into for like the longest
time, you know.
00:33:20.125 --> 00:33:23.124
I mean even if uh, even if I
train and I lose, you know,
00:33:23.125 --> 00:33:26.958
it\'s, I\'m still getting what I
want out of this.
00:33:26.959 --> 00:33:33.625
Winning\'s important to some
people but you know, fighting\'s
just important to me.
00:33:33.626 --> 00:33:34.209
Go.
00:33:34.209 --> 00:33:34.999
One,
00:33:34.999 --> 00:33:35.834
two,
00:33:35.834 --> 00:33:36.417
three,
00:33:36.417 --> 00:33:37.125
four,
00:33:37.125 --> 00:33:37.999
five,
00:33:37.999 --> 00:33:38.834
six,
00:33:38.834 --> 00:33:39.250
seven,
00:33:39.250 --> 00:33:39.959
eight...
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.082
Rene, he has a, a, he has the
heart for it and the discipline.
00:33:43.083 --> 00:33:44.083
Well, he has a lot to learn.
00:33:44.084 --> 00:33:47.750
Like some of the guys I have
here been a year, been a year
with me in training and uh,
00:33:47.751 --> 00:33:49.998
and they\'re still learning it.
00:33:49.999 --> 00:33:50.999
14,
00:33:50.999 --> 00:33:51.751
15,
00:33:51.751 --> 00:33:52.709
16,
00:33:52.709 --> 00:33:53.209
17...
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:56.000
It\'s pretty tough.
It\'s what I expected.
00:33:56.459 --> 00:33:59.998
Drive, drive, drive, drive,
drive.
00:33:59.999 --> 00:34:01.249
\'K, I\'ll try it again.
00:34:01.250 --> 00:34:03.042
Come right here.
00:34:06.959 --> 00:34:09.501
Now I say I\'m weak in
everything.
00:34:09.999 --> 00:34:12.041
Uh, I\'m getting kinda nauseous.
00:34:12.042 --> 00:34:13.583
Okay, that\'s all right.
00:34:13.584 --> 00:34:14.417
Toughen it up.
00:34:14.417 --> 00:34:15.000
Look over here.
00:34:15.001 --> 00:34:17.998
I say lay down, on your knees.
00:34:17.999 --> 00:34:19.041
Again, on your feet.
00:34:19.042 --> 00:34:21.999
Go again, let\'s go.
00:34:27.876 --> 00:34:30.501
Do something.
00:34:31.167 --> 00:34:33.998
On your feet, on your feet,
on your feet.
00:34:33.999 --> 00:34:36.792
Ready, go again.
00:34:40.501 --> 00:34:42.626
Come on, man.
00:34:50.959 --> 00:34:51.998
\'K, that\'s the one.
00:34:51.999 --> 00:34:54.208
So what do you guys think of
the new guy?
00:34:54.209 --> 00:34:56.083
Needs a lot of work.
00:34:57.542 --> 00:34:58.917
Yeah, is a, I don\'t know, I
don\'t know,
00:34:58.918 --> 00:35:05.708
I thought I was uh, gonna be
able to uh, defend those uh,
submissions easier but...
00:35:05.709 --> 00:35:07.374
See how exhausted and fatigued
you were?
00:35:07.375 --> 00:35:08.998
Little, little bit of work-up?
00:35:08.999 --> 00:35:10.917
You\'re only warming up.
You shouldn\'t be sitting down,
00:35:10.918 --> 00:35:13.333
New rule.
You can\'t be sitting down.
00:35:13.334 --> 00:35:14.042
Ready?
00:35:14.042 --> 00:35:14.751
Go.
00:35:14.752 --> 00:35:18.708
In a fight, he\'s coming at me,
your feet are always moving
different way.
00:35:18.709 --> 00:35:21.998
All these guys want to go pro.
So come to my club - we\'ll see.
00:35:21.999 --> 00:35:22.999
You know, they\'ll fight me.
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.999
I\'m gonna show you what I could
do to you.
00:35:25.542 --> 00:35:28.791
Again. One, two.
00:35:28.792 --> 00:35:30.666
Hard as you can.
00:35:30.667 --> 00:35:32.583
That\'s all you got?
00:35:32.584 --> 00:35:35.791
Sit-ups, crunches,
bare knuckles hit.
00:35:35.792 --> 00:35:37.998
Technique again.
00:35:37.999 --> 00:35:39.333
There\'s no lies in here.
00:35:39.334 --> 00:35:40.209
Good class today.
00:35:40.210 --> 00:35:41.458
Some of the guys never fought in
their life.
00:35:41.459 --> 00:35:43.998
Some guys will be fighting in
the cage the first time.
00:35:43.999 --> 00:35:45.082
We\'re gonna fight in here today.
00:35:45.083 --> 00:35:48.666
Sparring is exactly what I
thought it would be.
00:35:48.667 --> 00:35:49.459
It\'s full contact.
00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:55.041
You pick him up, put him down,
slam him, can go pound, smit
him, whatever you want to do.
00:35:55.042 --> 00:35:57.208
This is a real fight.
00:35:57.209 --> 00:35:57.876
OK?
00:35:57.877 --> 00:35:59.998
Fight how you would fight in a
real fight.
00:35:59.999 --> 00:36:01.291
Lock the door, guys.
00:36:01.292 --> 00:36:02.999
Fight!
00:36:06.334 --> 00:36:08.042
Hit him! Hit him!
00:36:08.999 --> 00:36:10.792
Hard guys!
00:36:13.292 --> 00:36:15.042
The body...
00:36:22.584 --> 00:36:25.209
Oh, full mount... bad, bad...
00:36:25.584 --> 00:36:28.125
There you go.
A fish on the ground.
00:36:30.125 --> 00:36:34.125
What are you doing?
So something.
00:36:34.501 --> 00:36:36.501
Pound him. Pound him.
00:36:45.876 --> 00:36:49.041
Control him. Control him.
Do something. Do something.
Do something guys.
00:36:49.042 --> 00:36:51.500
You\'re both exhausted.
00:36:51.501 --> 00:36:52.833
Use your hip bone... hit him.
00:36:52.834 --> 00:36:58.374
That\'s it. That\'s it.
Joe, Joe, Joe, stop.
00:36:58.375 --> 00:37:00.124
Okay, next guys.
00:37:00.125 --> 00:37:00.999
Good fight.
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:03.834
Touch gloves.
00:37:04.542 --> 00:37:06.584
Good fight.
00:37:06.999 --> 00:37:07.999
That was fun, man.
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.082
Even the best fighters lose,
you know.
00:37:10.083 --> 00:37:13.125
Like I\'m not expecting to go
undefeated.
00:37:15.626 --> 00:37:16.125
Go out.
00:37:16.126 --> 00:37:18.334
There\'s a bucket there some
where.
00:37:19.999 --> 00:37:23.999
You guys go out and party,
that\'s what happens too.
00:37:25.999 --> 00:37:31.374
To me, going through school was
a tough ride.
00:37:31.375 --> 00:37:33.998
There\'s still a lot of things I
do think about,
00:37:33.999 --> 00:37:37.416
uh, but I don\'t let it, like I
said, control me.
00:37:37.417 --> 00:37:42.791
Um, I feel like it\'s better to
talk about your issues than keep
\'em in.
00:37:42.792 --> 00:37:49.667
Every morning I almost go to the
office cause they offer a free
ride to work, so.
00:37:56.417 --> 00:38:00.750
So it\'s true, Melvin, you are a
movie star, eh?
00:38:00.751 --> 00:38:05.833
Uh, dropped out, uh, went back
to school two years later.
00:38:05.834 --> 00:38:07.998
Did a pre-industry training.
00:38:07.999 --> 00:38:10.208
I end up landing a job at Build.
00:38:10.209 --> 00:38:13.791
A month and a half later they
bump me up to supervisor.
00:38:13.792 --> 00:38:14.998
I\'ll see you at the job site.
00:38:14.999 --> 00:38:16.542
Yeah, okay.
00:38:19.584 --> 00:38:20.625
Right now I have a ten-year
plan.
00:38:20.626 --> 00:38:28.042
See how my career is in
ten years, um, and then go back
to school.
00:38:30.292 --> 00:38:32.625
Me getting married?
00:38:32.626 --> 00:38:36.917
Big step into showing that I was
mature.
00:38:36.918 --> 00:38:37.584
Ready for it.
00:38:37.585 --> 00:38:40.208
That I was willing to become a
family man.
00:38:40.209 --> 00:38:48.209
That I was dedicated to
one person and my, my children
at the same time.
00:38:48.999 --> 00:38:52.791
What\'s up, hm?
00:38:52.792 --> 00:38:54.416
Find your purpose.
00:38:54.417 --> 00:38:59.666
Find your purpose in life and
follow it.
00:38:59.667 --> 00:39:03.998
Cause some people waste their
lifetime trying to find a
purpose.
00:39:03.999 --> 00:39:06.918
Go bye-bye.
00:39:10.459 --> 00:39:14.458
And hold your head up.
00:39:14.459 --> 00:39:18.918
Cause only you can take it down.
00:39:23.999 --> 00:39:28.541
In here there\'s no laws, you can
fight or not.
00:39:28.542 --> 00:39:31.792
I\'m in here to win, that\'s it.
00:39:33.209 --> 00:39:34.833
When you get ready to fight,
gentlemen,
00:39:34.834 --> 00:39:37.958
don\'t worry about the people.
Don\'t worry about the crowd,
man.
00:39:37.959 --> 00:39:40.708
You\'re here to win.
You\'re here to fight.
00:39:40.709 --> 00:39:41.833
And after you\'re done fighting,
00:39:41.834 --> 00:39:47.542
shake the other guy\'s hand win
or lose, give that respect back.
00:39:48.584 --> 00:39:53.583
Go ahead.
Put the gloves up.
00:39:53.584 --> 00:40:01.584
♪♪♪♪
00:40:03.626 --> 00:40:11.626
♪♪♪♪
00:40:13.584 --> 00:40:21.584
♪♪♪♪
00:40:45.292 --> 00:40:48.416
I want to tell you a little bit
about our next fighter.
00:40:48.417 --> 00:40:49.375
We want to welcome to Peguis.
00:40:49.376 --> 00:40:54.166
This is his first time in the
cage.
00:40:54.167 --> 00:40:59.708
Let\'s bring out
Rene Wayne Catcheway!
00:40:59.709 --> 00:41:03.750
Let\'s bring him down,
Rene Wayne Catcheway.
00:41:03.751 --> 00:41:06.250
Where is he?
00:41:16.999 --> 00:41:19.875
You\'re fighting for your life.
00:41:19.876 --> 00:41:20.998
I\'m in here to win.
00:41:20.999 --> 00:41:23.417
That\'s it.
00:41:25.167 --> 00:41:31.999
From Winnipeg,
Rene Wayne Catcheway.
00:41:34.542 --> 00:41:35.958
Ready?
00:41:35.959 --> 00:41:37.834
Fight.
00:43:10.792 --> 00:43:17.998
I already made my choice a long
time ago what I wanted to do,
and this is it.
00:43:17.999 --> 00:43:22.999
I\'m not, not gonna do anything
else besides this.
