Cung Le’s AKA, Home of the USH Fight Team, is moving to a new home located at 543 Parrott Street in San Jose (next to Costco off of Senter Road). We apologize for the short notice but this was an opportunity we could not pass up. The new building fits our core demographics as well as our need to expand while we continue to grow!
We also will be closer to our sister AKA schools to create more training opportunities for all of our members! AKA Bernal is 9 miles away from the new facility and AKA San Jose is 8 miles away. As some of you might be aware, the Valley Transportation Authority will be coming through our existing building so while the move may seem sudden we were just looking for the right fit to move our gym to. We appreciate everyones support and we will try to make this as painless and create as little disruption as possible to our valued members!
Currently we plan to start teaching classes at the new gym the week of May 16th – May 20th. We are working diligently to have as little downtime as possible for our members so please check in at the front desk, via email membership@cungle.com or call us today at 408-729-4468 for immediate updates to this message. Otherwise, we will continue to send our emails and posts to update you on this exciting move!
“True Legend”, the latest film starring Cung Le, is scheduled to be released on May 13th in the USA. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping (The Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill Volumes I and II, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero), this movie depicts a heart pounding epic about the timeless battle between good and evil. Su Can’s (Vincent Zhao) respectable life is obliterated when his vengeful brother, Yuan (Andy On), returns from war armed with the deadly Five Venom Fists. Weakened but not destroyed, Su Can learns a never-before-seen form of martial arts: the Drunken Fist. Armed with this new power, he returns home to honor his family through retribution by taking on his brother in a battle to become the ultimate warrior. Packed with distinct fighting styles–including MMA, knife combat and sweeping aerial stunts–, this film also stars martial arts legends Michelle Yeoh, David Carradine and Jay Chou.
Cung Le recently had a guest spot on the Jace Hall Show, a show about the Video Game industry. During a challenge that Jace Hall throws down for a video game, Cung ends up having to fight off a few real ninjas. Enjoy!
Bleacher Report, a premier sports reporting website, has just released its top 10 reasons why Strikeforce has overtaken UFC as the hottest company in MMA. Author Artie Cooper names Cung Le as being among the top reasons for such a success. Cung has been dazzling fans on Strikeforce cards since its early days of kickboxing promotions, and has easily transitioned into MMA along with Strikeforce’s change in direction. Since Strikeforce has debuted in MMA in 2006, it has exploded onto the international MMA scene with live broadcasts on Showtime and CBS, and lucrative syndicate broadcasts. Cung is among the premier roster of MMA fighters that continues to draw in the fans, giving MMA-giant UFC its biggest challenge to date.
Jean-Claude Van Damme has just signed on for a supporting role in Dragon Eyes. He joins the cast in the action film starring Cung Le and produced by mega-producer Joe Silver, who also produced “Sherlock Holmes”, “The Matrix”, and “Die Hard”.
Cung has grown up watching Van Damme and is excited to be working with him on this movie. Van Damme has previously turned down a role in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables”. Both actors will be working with John Hyams, who directed Van Damme’s movie sequel “Universal Soldier: Regeneration”.
Cung Le has just left for Baton Rouge, Louisiana to film the new crime drama Dragon Eyes. He stars as a mysterious man who comes from an impoverished part of New Orleans to unite two warring gangs against the corrupt lawmen who’ve been using them. Joel Silver is producing through his Dark Castle banner along with After Dark Films. Dragon Eyes is scheduled for release to theaters in 2012.
