The Iceman

Here's a new book by Perry William Kelly that I'm really looking forward to read!

Called 'Iceman' (ISBN 0-921165-73-0) it reflects on the life and career of the legendary, Canadian kickboxer, Jean-Yves Theriault (23 times World Champion).

Not only is Mr Theriault a fighter with a track record like no one else - being on top of his game for 19 years straight (!) - he is also one of the nicest people that you could ever hope to meet.

Like the author himself says: "Theriault was not a trash talker who boasted about how 'bad' he was. He simply went into the ring and did his job, which was knocking people out."

Being described as a rags to riches story, this book should be of interest to anyone who wishes to have a look into the heart (and gigantic dedication) of a true fighter in every sense of the word.

It also attests to the fact that you can be as hard as they come inside the ring - and a gentleman and down-to-earth role model when you step outside the ring.

Martial Arts action film star Don “The Dragon” Wilson calls this book, “A roundhouse kick to the heart and a must read for any martial arts fan who wants the inside scoop on what it takes to become a world champion”.

What are you waiting for?
