Results of “Born To Fight” - San Jose, California

Cung Le once again put on a fantastic San Shou and Muay Thai event in San Jose on Saturday night. Fight and Fitness had two of our fighters compete and they both did very well.

FnF’s fighter Gem Mil Langit started out the night with an exciting bout against Vishnu Gulati of Team U.S.A.. The first round started off slowly with each fighter sizing each other up. Vishnu and Gem Mil appeared to have a mutual respect of each other and the first round ended in the clinch with both competitors delivering an array of knee strikes.

In the second round, Vishnu was able to catch Gem Mil’s leg and sweep him twice—causing some frustration to Gem Mil’s game plan. Gem Mil was able to land a few hard left kicks, while Vishnu delivered some clean punches. The last round was more action packed as both fighters struggled to get the win. The fight again ended in the clinch and the knees continued through the bell. In the end the decision went to Vishnu of Team U.S.A.. Congratulations to both of these fighters.

Ray Juachon of Fight and Fitness was the next fighter of the night. Ray also was up against one of Team U.S.A.’s gladiators, Chris Hom. This fight started action packed as both fighters put the pressure on with quick hands followed by hard kicks. Ray slipped many of Chris’ techniques and countered with some hard, clean shots. In the second round, Chris was able to deliver a clean foot jab to Ray’s face. This appeared to make Ray more aggressive and he finished the round strongly by landing many right leg kicks that seemed to slow Chris down. The third round was also exciting. Ray continued to land hard punches and leg kicks while they both landed some nice knees in the clinch. The decision ended in Ray’s favor and a win to Fight and Fitness. Congratulations to both Ray and Chris for a fine demonstration of muay thai skills.

Fight and Fitness would like to once again send our gratitude to Cung Le for scheduling our fighters at his event. It was a fun night and many FnF students were in attendance. Thanks to all the people who cheered our guys on—it definitely means a lot to us that our student body is so supportive of those getting in the ring.
