Chet Frank : So what is Jiu-Jitsu? You use one fighter's strength against him?
Mike Terry : Yes, in a way. You let him use his strength, and you use your understanding.
Chet Frank : So it's a form of wrestling?
Mike Terry : Yeah.
Chet Frank : Like we see in the Mixed-Martial Arts competitions?
Mike Terry : Yeah, that's right.
Chet Frank : You compete?
Mike Terry : No.
Chet Frank : Because...?
Mike Terry : Competition is weakening.
Chet Frank : Because it's fixed. Two guys in a ring, people betting money...
Mike Terry : It may be fixed. Any one fight may be fixed.
Chet Frank : Ah, but you train people to fight.
Mike Terry : No, I train people to prevail. In the street, in the alley, in...in combat, the bodyguard, the cop, the soldiers. One rule - put the other guy down. And you have to train in order to do that. Any...any staged contest must have rules.
Chet Frank : Everything has rules. The problem is sticking to them.

Chet Frank : Booze, women - what in this life that doesn't get you in trouble?

Guabayera Shirt Man : Hey, where's your protection, tough guy?
Chet Frank : I didn't know you knew the woman.
