Gene LeBell was an avid supporter of USA Stunts and a member of Stunts Unlimited. Gene was a former judo/wrestling world champion and affectionately known as The Toughest Man Alive. Gene was a man who believed in equality and diversity, and had a huge heart. For many years Gene generously trained stunt performers, actors and athletes, including Bruce Lee and Ronda Rousey. He made sure that every stuntperson he met, both young and old, received the correct training.

USA Stunts loves Uncle Gene and cherishes his memory.
