Sylvester Stallone “put a small knife” in his daughter Sistine’s backpack in fourth grade for self-defense
Sylvester Stallone defends himself very seriously.
The actor – who has three daughters with wife Jennifer Flavin – once gave their middle child, Sistine, a “little knife” to take to school.
“He made us practice pepper spraying each other,” the 25-year-old revealed in a confessional interview during the Season 2 premiere of “The Family Stallone.”
“Oh my God, this is so bad. He put a little knife in my backpack when I was in fourth grade.
Elsewhere in the episode, the “Rambo” actor, 77, took Sistine and her sister Sofia, 27, to learn self-defense with a defense strategies group.
“I’m not playing a game,” he told his daughters, who live in New York, about the self-defense lessons.
“These are people who have seen combat and faced death. This is the real deal.”
During the training session, the two teachers – who were former members of the Navy – threw punches at the girls while wearing boxing gloves.
However, Sofia was skeptical when she asked them: “When will I do it in New York?”
“On every first date ever,” Sistine told her.
In fact, Sistine almost got a date out of a self-defense cla*s, revealing that one of the instructors sent her a message on Instagram.
“But I’m not his type and I’ll tell you why. He only follows girls who have really big curves,” she said of her “stick” body type.
Sylvester later indicated that he and Flavin would move permanently to Palm Beach, Florida, to be closer to their youngest daughter, Scarlett, 21, who is studying at the University of Miami.

The “Rocky” star told Sofia and Sistine: “After long and hard thought, your mother and I have decided that it is time to move on and leave California permanently, and we will go to Florida.”
He continued, “I don’t want to change things, but I know that my wife wants a big adventure,” noting that he “owes it” to his wife “to take this step.”
During the conversation, Flavin, 55, considered their home an “empty nest.”
“I need to change it up… Because we live in an empty nest, we can have a lot of problems together,” she said.
The “Expendables” actor is also the father of two sons with his first wife, Sasha Czak: Sergioh, 44, and Sage, who died of coronary artery disease in 2012 at the age of 36.
