Because in the art of sport, I mean, you do a lot of that on concrete and wood or different ball games.
on the mats because there's two different flavors of understanding.
One protecting in the street and hitting that kind of ground and so forth.
Because a lot of times at the internationals, it was concrete.
That was in 64, 65, how we fought.
on concrete, taking down sweeps, but letting them back up.
There was a code of honor.
Even though we swept and took them to the ground, and some will reverse punch to the ground and then let them back up.
But again, I just think that sometimes when you're on the ground and there's somebody's livelihood, you're thrashing.
And the idea, okay, I understand what it takes, you know, to hold that hand up as a winner and what it takes of the rules.
But I've always got turned around when I see somebody jumping on somebody.
That's the journey.
Truth speaks for itself.
You know, there's something that I've been drawing in my mind, just like when the Jet Center, I was drawing on toilet paper.
In Japan.
Actually, in Japan.
And I had an idea, and I started drawing on toilet paper because I didn't have anything else to do.
So I started drawing the Jet Center, and I told Blinky, I said, Blinky, this is our gym.
What do you think?
And he looked at me and he said, I dreamt about that.
