urijahfaber_landrymajor642blogWe had a seriously fun trip up North to Urijah Fabers’ gym. Urijah and his gym have an super kick back vibe but still manage to be killer at the same time. Some one was sleeping on the sofa through driving disco music, and everyone brings in their dogs to hang out. Urijah has a whole posse of friends that all live and train with him and you can tell how tight they all are.  There is no ego or attitude with any of these guys and they could be surfers as easily as top MMA fighters.  After a morning work out everyone headed outside to the parking lot and ate and laughed in the sun, then back to training in the afternoon. We ended up staying an extra night to visit Urijah at home with the guys. Don’t miss Urijah’s next big fight in June, he is amazing to watch.

Cung Le

Cung Le is a marvel who defies gravity. He comes from the Martial Arts world and has crossed over into Mixed Martial Arts where he is undefeated.  I knew he was famous for breaking legs with his kick, so asked him to kick the bag for a shot. I asked how much room he needed to run into the bag? None. How many steps? None. He just lifted directly in the air and kicked, and he kept jumping effortlessly and airborne. Cung has crossed over into movies and has four movies coming out this year. He was a pleasure to work with. He is kind and professional and fully game for anything. It was raining in San Jose and we went outside and had him walking the railroad tracks. No problem.cungle_landrymajor-78blog
