- "I train best. I am Lugash."
- ―Lugash[src]
Lugash is a gymnastics instructor. He has a thick Romanian accent and a large, brown curled mustache.
[edit] Origin
His origin is a bit mysterious as he says that he came into the United States in 1983 by cartwheeling over the Berlin Wall. However, another person claims that he defected into East Germany.
[edit] Training techniques
His harsh but effective training techniques helped Lisa to achieve a high standard of gymnastic ability. He also has a habit of confiscating his students' cats and dogs, only giving them back when the student has accomplished a physical task. Once however, he refused to give back a girl's dog, but gave her someone else's cat instead.
[edit] Anger management
He goes to anger management classes and threatens to spit on them.
[edit] Behind the Laughter
- He is based on former U.S. gymnastics coach Béla Károlyi, who has his own gym.
- Apparently, he thinks that Lisa (who is only eight), is a "grandma". This is probably a joke poking fun at the stereotype of eastern European countries beginning to train potential future Olympic gymnasts at a very young age.
