Editorial Reviews

Review
"A must read for all boxers, trainers, fans, and officials. An informative book of this nature has been long awaited." Barry Jordan, MD Sports Neurologist -- Publisher Comments

Product Description
In this text, great emphasis is placed on studying the offensive techniques and defensive tactics of the great masters of the art in the 20th century. A rigorous, successful regimen for training and achieving optimum physical & mental conditioning is a natural complement to boxing strategy. The prevention of injuries, too, is outlined.

The method of instruction in this book has been utilized in many high schools, colleges and universities for over four decades by the author, who is generally recognized as one of the country's leading boxing deans.

The methods work from the perspective of safety, on the one hand, and effectiveness on the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps the beginner tremendously!, December 28, 1998
By A Customer
I take a boxing class at my gym, but I wanted to get a bit more involved with the sport. I bought this book and found that I could "self-teach" myself some boxing moves and training regimen which were not covered in my gym class. The photographs were easy to follow as were the written instructions. Very helpful book for the beginner and I'm sure for most levels.

1.0 out of 5 stars horrible - does burn well though, December 14, 2000
By darren copeland "dgc@copelandstudio.net" (austin, texas United States) - See all my reviews
complete guide to frustration. this book is far too simplified as a display to fundamental stance and punching techniques. i would recommend "the boxers start-up".

2.0 out of 5 stars Less than expected, December 17, 1999
The editorial reviews led me to believe that this book would have a wealth of information on technique and tactics, with examples of how they were applied by boxing greats. Instead, the information was very basic.

This book contains almost no information. It is simply a series of photos of the author with famous boxers. I believe, but cannot be certain, that it is self-published. Read more
