It was in Del Mar or Solana Beach or somewhere in San Diego.

So Jerry would come back, and he's like, dude, I learned this move.

Let me show you.

And he'd learn this bullshit arm bar.

Do you know anything about jiu-jitsu?

Do you train at all?

No.

So this was in 1990.

I'm harmless.

I'm like a declawed cat.

This is in 1990, three or four years before the first UFC.

so then we would uh my dad would leave us like a dollar fifty for like if we went to school to buy lunch but we never did we just go buy cigarettes or something so we would take the bus down to your poor dad i know we were terrible but we would take the bus down to nelson's and then we would pay we know we get like five bucks together we teach him first we'd be paying for some jiu jitsu lessons and he would show us a move and then we just find some guy in the street and just choke him out or arm arm or whatever

And we started just doing this all the time.

So we got... At the time, we were like ninjas because no one knew jiu-jitsu.

No one knew what jiu-jitsu was.

So then I took it a little bit more serious and my mom started taking me... My mom and dad were divorced, but she started taking me to Nelson's on a regular basis.

And, you know, I went...

almost every day for, like, a year.

And then, like, every other day for, like, another year.

And then eventually I got a blue belt right before the UFC came out.
