Sanshou Coup
Cung Le left West Valley College to become a world champion fighter and is striving to promote his sport in the United States
|
Ten years ago, Cung Le was a member of West Valley College's wrestling team. He was good, very good, and he was intense. So intense at training was Le that wrestling coach Jim Root was concerned Le would burn out. Though Le had won a state wrestling championship, Root says Le was too nice as a fighter to win big. Today, some call Le the "Golden Boy" of the sanshou form of fighting, which is relatively new to the United States. As a professional sanshou fighter, Le has a 12-0 record, with seven knockouts. Le has been featured in magazines such as Black Belt and Kung Fu; owns two kickboxing schools; and his manager is negotiating a movie contract.
