How is Helen doing today, some thirty-seven years later? Has she hung up her gi? She must be very pleased to see how things have changed for women in martial arts. She's quite the pioneer.
Yes, Helen was a real pioneer and great Martial Artist. She developed a "get in shape" program called "Defensersize" years before Cardio Kick Boxing came into vogue. She was one of the best! Innovative and creative, a real competitor! She currently is semi-retired GM Ron Balas
