Great relationship between father and daughter ❤❤

[@themovingdance2744]

That he isn’t jealous of her and connects her to his network. Life is easier with a pro as a parent and the right connections. I wrestled and fought with my Dad and he taught me about grappling with my brother. I had a talent for fighting. My sister came along and so did she. My brighter did not. Now I haven t fought for 10 years and I injured my foot in dancing samba so can’t do the foot work anymore so I m starting this. I need it for the street and to feel powerful again against those that harass me to steal my bike. Best cure for anxiety is fighting

Incoming comments about her accent....

[@ronhenderson783]

Yeah this doc is from 2016 kinda proves she's been had an accent

[@KharlHungus]

@@ronhenderson783 have you never seen footage of here speaking perfect english?

[@GottfriedKilianus]

Look. I grew up bilingual. It's a really wierd thing, if you are bilingual you just start copying the way words are pronounced by the people around you. I was in Sweden for a few weeks, at the end I started pronouncing things with a swedish accent

[@KharlHungus]

@@GottfriedKilianus Thats great. But it's not what I asked.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

​@@GottfriedKilianus Same with me and Spanish.😅 I think it's just the way we are wired as we learn a different language.🤔

[@dansmitka5230]

She backed off the brasil accent
