As a life time student of the martial arts one of my regrets is never having met or trained with Gene LeBell; however, I have read and studied all his books and read every article I could lay my hands on about this extraordinary martial artist. This authorized biography is interesting, entertaining and highly informative. A short forward was written by Rowdy Roddy Piper, a professional wrestler and karate expert/movie hero Chuck Norris. This fantastic book has nineteen chapters covering many of the highlights in Gene LeBell's action filled life. This is a man who grew up with boxing and wrestling all his life. In conclusion, this is a book that should be in every martial artist's personal library.
Rating: 5 stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Monadnock Defensive Tactics System, MDTS).
