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.'
SENI 2008: Bruce Lee Museum Update
(March 2008) Back in January we revealed that the Bruce Lee Museum is coming to London. With special guests Shannon and Linda Lee now confirmed we can
reveal the latest c/o Fighting Spirit News: "The Bruce Lee Museum will be at the heart of Seni08 and will feature 35 unique items and 35 unique
