RECENT NEWS
Ruby Chow Passes Away
(June 2008) Bruce Lee Review is sad to report the passing of Ruby Chow, on 4th June aged 87. Although her place in Bruce Lee lore is assured, there was so much more to
her than many of us might know. As well as a long-running restaurateur she was also a prominent figure in politics and a widely respected member of her community
thanks to her civic work and services to Seattle's Chinatown. [Image: Tom Reese/Seattle Times]
Bruce Lee Event in Seattle
(May 2008) Summer 2008 marks the 35th anniversary for the release of
Enter the Dragon as well as the passing of Bruce Lee. To commemorate these milestones, the Bruce Lee Foundation has
put together an elaborate event at the Seattle Art Museum and Lakeview Cemetery. Included will be seminars, a 35th Anniversary
Bruce Lee Exhibit, screenings of Enter the Dragon, the first-ever JKD Instructor Summit, a graveside memorial and celebration
banquet, an Exclusive Limited-Entry Preview Night, and much more! Visit The Bruce
Lee Foundation for more information and to register.
SENI08: Bruce Lee Museum in London!
(April 2008) On Sunday 27th April, BLR was given leave to cut loose the bonds of domesticity and attend SENI08 'The International Combat Sports Show' held at the Excel Centre in London
Docklands. The main attraction was arguably the Bruce Lee Zone we've been bleating about since January, with its centrepiece Bruce Lee Museum, soon to find a permanent home, backed by a seminar and signing area and Bruce Lee Foundation stall selling
merchandise. To see images and hear audio from the event, click here.
Shannon Lee: Martial Arts Illustrated
(April 2008) Shannon Lee is the toast of this month's Martial Arts Illustrated (Vol 20, #12), the cover slightly modified from the one on display here, with a brighter logo and building in
a background image of her father plus an additional shot of Shannon Lee in fine martial arts fettle to offset the sexy aspect! Inside, she's interviewed and talks about coming to London
with the Bruce Lee Museum. The Jun Fan Journal also pays tribute to Bruce Lee student, the late Herb Jackson and chats to Jeet Kune Do exponent and Bruce Lee Foundation adviser Tim Tackett.
There's also a feature on Enterbay's efforts to capture Bruce Lee in sculpted form, making this an issue not to be missed. Muscle & Fitness are also running a seven-page piece ('Bruce Lee The Accidental Icon')
in the May edition of their magazine while Black Belt's June 2008 offering is something of a Bruce Lee 'lite' edition; Teri Tom's Jeet Kune Do source article details 'how to adjust the depth of your punches to achieve maximum effectiveness in different situations.'
