When you've got a famous daddy like Vin Diesel who is widely known for his action-packed kick butt film roles, it really isn't too big of a surprise that he would want you to possess a few self defense skills. So what better way to go about it then to enlist the help of a famous UFC Champion like Ronda Rousey to assist in a bit of judo training? With a trainer like Rousey, Diesel's cute as a button 7 year old daughter Hania Riley is just bound to become a butt kickin' judo champ!

According to Heavy, Diesel's decision to get his daughter a little bit of self defense training is something he's been considering for quite some time. By that, we mean since the day she was born, obviously!

On regards to his daughter Hania's new judo training, Viesel told WENN:

"I've been thinking about this since the day I cut the umbilical cord, and because of that, I made a decision early on that I was going to do everything in my power to empower her to handle it herself. Because of her 'auntie' Ronda Rousey, she is now an orange belt with stripes in Judo. I'm dealing with it early. I'm creating a beast, and I want her to be able to say no means no."

Rousey, who became friends with Diesel after costarring with him in Furious 7, was more than willing to lend a helping hand. According to People, Rousey and Diesel became close during the filming of Furious 7 after the death of Paul Walker. Supposedly, Rousey helped Diesel through the grieving process. On regards to being there for Diesel, Rousey told People, " I just tried to be one of those silent supporters that are there just in case he needed anyone during that time. He really was devastated."

 All love...

'Creating a beast' might not sound too light-hearted, but it's pretty safe to say that once again, Diesel has reminded us that his rough and tumble tough guy appearance doesn't mean that he isn't one gigantic marshmallow at heart.
