FACT #1: I have ZERO ground game. Was a less than 10 second snack for my Jujitsu teacher @wonbjj … FACT #2: Love being a white belt again…stay open, stay learning. FACT #3: I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE TOMORROW 😩 Thanks to @wonbjj for my first lesson. If you’re in LA check out his school…he may 155lbs but made me think he was 280lbs by the way he was choking and tapping me. 🥋👊🏾 #jujitsu #bjj

Lee’s father is a Korean Tae Kwon Do grandmaster, so the dedication to martial arts runs in his family. Hopefully, he’ll now become the latest celebrity to fall in love with BJJ as well.
