Not a day goes by without Gewik Mousasi messing around.

Like his brother, Gewik can’t be in a gym for too long without joining in on the training. Today is no exception, and after a few minutes in the Glendale Fighting Club, Gewik is in a t-shirt and board shorts, circling the mat and looking for a partner.

He spots a willing opponent. The boy is maybe 15 years old, at most, and weighs approximately 145 pounds. The Iranian-born Mousasi decides that this young student is going to get a lesson.

Gewik takes mount and postures up, his adolescent foe squirming beneath him. Mousasi moves to side control, where he sets up an arm-triangle and is just playing with his new friend. The student must be having fun, as he doesn’t tap or ask to be removed from the situation. Gewik repeats this routine with a few of the other kids, too.

When asked why his brother is rolling with the younger kids, Gegard responds, “Too much testosterone.” Later, when Gewik is asked why he was rough on some of the youngsters, he responds, “They have to learn sometime.”

Besides striking, grappling is also on the menu today at the Glendale Fighting Club. Max "Payne" Martyniouk is just a day removed from training with Team Quest, and it shows.

Rolling with a GFC student goes well for Max. He stays on top, even passing the guard of his grappling partner. A scramble ensues, and the budding MMA fighter does something Dan Henderson would be proud of: Martyniouk sprawls.

"That was the best grappling session of my life," says Martyniouk afterward.

Max Martyniouk is making some noise at the Glendale Fighting Club. The Estonian mixed martial artist is in the boxing ring with muay Thai coach Edmond Tarverdyan, popping the focus mitts.

Martyniouk is now deep into his training with the Sherdog MMA Fighter Exchange, and it shows. His confidence in his overall game is through the roof. He’s held his own on the mat this session, and is throwing his strikes with accuracy and power.

Tarverdyan recognizes the skills of the fighter and starts adding more to the drills. Max smiles as he sees me and a few other people watching him. He likes the attention, and he loves the training.

"This is my friend Gegard," says MMA fighter Roman Mitichyan. Mousasi waves bashfully to the MMA class. "I want to congratulate him," says the Armenian. The class applauds. It was just three weeks ago when "The Dreamcatcher" captured another MMA title, the Dream light heavyweight belt. Mousasi is visibly blushing.

At 25 years of age, the Dutch-based fighter is an international superstar. Mousasi has fans at nearly every gym we go to. Not once throughout this experience has Mousasi ever treated an admirer with anything other than respect. He returns the gesture of applause by teaching the class a technique. This man is all class.

The Glendale Fighting Club is instantly comfortable for Gegard and Gewik Mousasi. Glendale, Calif., has a high population of Armenian-Americans, and so does this gym.

While Max "Payne" Martyniouk wraps his hands for striking class, Gegard engages WEC featherweight Manvel Gamburyan in Armenian dialect. The conversation is light and fun. People here are clearly happy to see the Mousasis.

I walk up to the Mousasis’ hotel room. They’re staying on the second floor, with the entrance to the room out on the balcony. The door is thick, so I give it a nice hammerfist to make my presence known. The door opens, and there stands Gewik.

"You know, you don't know me that well," says the elder Mousasi. I play it off.

"I am just knocking like a real man," I rejoin. Gewik smiles and looks toward the railing.

"Let's see if a real man can fly."

Thankfully, he was only kidding.
