Boxing, originally published in 1943, was compiled by boxing champions and coaches to teach World War II cadets how to take a punch and fight back viciously, calmly and with deadly intent. The manual was so successful that the U.S. Naval Institute reissued it several times, and copies of the original manual are still in high demand. Get yourself into top fighting shape by following the combat-proven boxing drills used by generations of naval recruits.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for both instruction and training.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boxing (Naval Aviation Physical Training Manuals) (Paperback)
I have always considered my book "Boxing" by Haislet to be the best book on boxing instruction especially since it was obviously used by Bruce Lee in the "Tao of Jeet Kune Do".
Well, that was before I received my copy of this book... this book has excellent instruction material AND good training plans. The pictures are a little grainy because it is a reprint of a manual from 1943 but you can see great detail in the movements shown. It is an encyclopedia on boxing. It covers all aspects of boxing punches, guards, footwork, lesson plans, drills. As well as the aspects of "ring science". Just remember that it isn't one of those "fitness" boxing books. This is a manual on how to train a boxer on how to fight in the ring. If you want to learn boxing, get this book.

The Lost Knowledge of Boxing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boxing (Naval Aviation Physical Training Manuals) (Paperback)
I found that this book had historical aspects of boxing long lost and forgotten.
Foot placement and body positioning to get the most out of your training. The information on how to train groups was a big plus for me, as I teach in a community center the Sweet Science of boxing. DMarks CONSTELLATION
