Gene LeBell has been in over one thousand movies.

Although Gene LeBell might have learned some from Ed the Strangler Lewis he told me he learned 80% of Catch Wresting from Lew Thez.

"Judo" Gene learned his Judo in California as a kid but went to study more deeply in Japan in the 50s. A time when Americans were not well liked in Japan owing to the fact that America just dropped 2 atomic bombs on their country. Gene had it rough but he was tougher than his circumstance and earned his respect. Cool man and cool vid!

I cannot help myself, I have to add the story about him putting Steven Seagal in the rear naked choke til he passed out and defecated in his pamper. Gene LeBell, the real deal. Respect.

but never over a an actual REAL fight on tape LOL

[@davidtice4972]

@@kaosXfighting What are you talking about? I've seen Gene LeBell in real fights!

[@yemalad1.]

This can’t be true because Steven seagal had experts look into it and they couldn’t find any evidence of gene ever winning anything or even studying judo 😆

[@kaosXfighting]

TRUE!

[@zacharywells6867]

As we all know what Steven says must be true

[@Godrules]

This is funny in so many weird ways.

[@alialkhamis9058]

500 push-ups, 500 sit-ups, and 1000 jumping jacks. So he's the real life Saitama

[@johnredmon6762]

I had the experience of working out with Gene at a So. Cal. Renmei tournament at the El Monte dojo in Aug. of 1965. I can tell you that his technique was superior to that of anyone I have engaged in randori with. Anyone who questions his authenticity just doesn't know what he's talking about.
