He told his father it just was there when he needed it.
But it doesn't matter b/c he didn't do MMA or BJJ. He didn't go back in a time machine and fight Mohamed Ali in his prime, he didn't fight Tito or Shogun, hell not even a Gracie! He didn't get a trophy or belt, it wasn't fought in a cage so it doesn't matter.
But it mattered to his dad, that his son wasn't in the hospital, and it mattered to his friend who was gettin the $*#t kicked out of him and I imagine he was happy too.

No need for the qualification..
Good for him and you since I guess you DID train him.. Sometimes not knowing what you "can't do" is useful..
