While it's a great place to spend your 20s and do whatever the hell you want, there's plenty awful here to get in the way. That's why Sylvester Stallone did the appropriate thing and hired Navy SEALs to train his daughters in self-defense before their big move.
(NY Post) Sylvester Stallone was so nervous about his daughters Sophia and Sistine living in NYC that he hired Navy SEALs to train them in self-defense — and even had them chase chickens Rocky-style.
“It was the hardest. It was about six hours we were in those woods,” Sistine, 25, told The Post ahead of Season 2 of “The Family Stallone,” which premieres on Feb. 21.
“Sophia and I got our asses whooped by these guys. They were the real deal,” she said.
Although they’ve now been living in the city for a year, the girls said their East Coast residence is still nerve-racking for their dad, a native of Hell’s Kitchen.
“I don’t think he’ll ever be less nervous,” said Sistine. “He’s like a classic, overprotective dad. Three daughters at an age where, you know, we’re kind of all over the place and we’re out and about.”
Fairly aggressive, but also pretty smart. Whether it'd be human sized rats, subway creatures, homeless people, Nate, creepy finance dickheads, asshole cyclists, there's plenty in this city to make a father extremely concerned for his attractive daughters' safety. When you also consider this is who is defending our city from its evils, yeah I'd say you're well in the right to take matters into your own hands.

That's where the SEALs come in to whip them into shape. Have to respect that move from Sly. Nothing wrong with a dad being overprotective for his daughters.
They even made the women do the Rocky inspired chicken chase.
Just know if you see Sophia or Sistine Stallone in NYC, they're Navy SEAL trained to fuck your shit up. That and Sly is one phone call away from getting on a jet and ending your life.
The youngest daughter Scarlet was not subjected to the training as she's still in college, but just know Sly lives in the same state as her now. You've got hours to live if she thinks you're a problem.
