Helene Delangle - Hele Nice

This is a truely wonderful read. Charting the life of Helene Delangle otherwise known as Hele Nice through her younger years (in the 1920s) as a dancer onto her career in the male dominated world of Grand Prix motor racing (through the 1930s). Her career in motor racing was interrupted by a very serious accient and then finally destroyed, after the war, by a legend of the sport. She ultimately faded into poverty before dying in Nice in 1984. Tragically she is not even remembered on her grave stone. This is a story that had to be told and Miranda Seymour tells the story wonderfully. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

a bible of jeet kune do

I had the opportunity to see Bruce Lee in action at an East Coast karate tournament in 1969. He wasnt competing but was there as a celebrity guest. I stood with others at the back of the tournament hall and listened in awe as he talked about having just finished filming Marlow and his plans to leave soon for Hong Kong to begin filming a movie. Later, I watched him warm-up a great tournament fighter named Luis Delgado. Lees speed was absolutely incredible. His backfist was nearly imperceptible and his footwork for closing the gap was a blur. What a loss to the martial arts world that he left us so soon. But we still have this book of his notes. It a wonderful bible, if you will, that will make any martial artist look at his own training to see how some of Lees ideas can fit. There will always be the Jackie Chans and Jet Lis who will come along and dazzle us with their screen antics. But Bruce Lee was a seeker of knowledge, a true master of the fighting arts and philosophy. Some of it is in this wonderful book. As an author of 13 books on the martial arts, I highly recommend this book for every MA library.

This is as close as it comes to the book of life....

This is as close as it comes to the book of life....it is a guide to assisting a person in the art of life first. The book hits its target at providing ways for developing the total persons mind, body, and spirit. Jeet Kune Do provides choices for each individual...anyone who actively uses the tools in this book will have the wisdom to make correct choices with anything, including the martial arts. The way Bruce Lee balanced his training and philosophy in this method of training make this book a must for every reading room in every nation.
