Episode Details

Doctor Mark Cheng is a ninja, a Jedi, and an evil genius.

He possesses, what some might consider, magical, mystical healing powers.

I met Doc Cheng a few years back and had him start working on some of my injuries. His ability to assess and correct dysfunction is second to none. He can tell what's wrong with your shoulder by the way you walk. He can tell what's wrong with your ankle by the way you talk.

Maybe I'm exaggerating. Or maybe I'm not.

In addition to being a respected healer and body worker, Doc Cheng is a highly trained fight expert.

In my 30 years of training experience the best I've ever felt was when I was working with Doc Cheng on a twice per week basis.

We started in his office and then progressed to training in the gym. I believe that even coaches need coaches, so I handed the reins over to the good doc and let him take control.

We mixed rehab, strength work and fight techniques all into the same workout.

The progress I made was mind blowing.
