“My dad was a super physical, intense dude. He was kicking ass, and when I started to get a little stronger and go through puberty, I noticed a little rivalry started to go on. It’s a bit like ‘Papi I am getting stronger, taller, heads-up’.” Logan said.
Logan Paul also recalled when he choked out his father. With that feeling of rivalry, Logan felt like he had won something after managing to choke his father for the first time.
“We did some Jiu-Jitsu classes together, and for the first time in my life, I felt capable of overpowering my father physically. I choked him out in the class for the first time. I remember when it was happening I was like ‘oh my God I got him. I’m in charge now motherf*****!’ He tapped out and we had a moment on the mat, and he looked at me and said ‘you’ve got a lot stronger’.” Logan Paul said.
