Mr Cestari is considered by many (including myself) as one of the top authorities in classic pugilism. This gentleman was training and teaching these older...
I was hoping someone could help me out with his work. The technique looks easy enough for the most part but some of his wording is hard for me to go about,...
In the photo section I've mistakenly attributed the illustration of the trippet to Parkyns when in fact it is from Layton's 'Norfolk Wrestling' ... Terry ... ...
Well that's different from what I was thinking. I thought it was more of lock closer to the ankle that you bring backwards towards yourself. Thanks for the...
I know I'm beating this into the ground but I have a few observations and questions. Firstly, I think Parkyn's was a boxer and taught boxing. He knows, at the...
Gustavo here is a quote from "Boxing and How to Train by an Expert" (no authors name listed) published 1889. It provides some center line principles- maybe. "...
Do you have a link to this manual online or is it only a hard copy book at the moment? I wasn't aware of a manual that recommends the wall pad besides Doran....

I caught a bit of it. I wouldn't describe as pedestrian per se, more that Haye had a simple plan that he stuck to. TBH the Russian looked unable to deal with...
I watched the fight and thought Haye won easy, I don't know what fight Jim Watt was watching haha. Goliath was a big man and a lot better than I thought he...
Normally I really enjoy watching the HW Eastern Europeans box but Valuev has gotten by on size alone. He is hardly a boxer at all. Many many gift decisions for...
I caught it on youtube - god bless whoever uploaded it so promptly, even tho the commentary is in German! I love sportsboxing in spite of myself but have been...
I posted awhile back and introduced myself, but it's been a bit. My name is Austin,I have a bit of martial arts expereince here and there, six months of wing...
Whereabouts do you live? Are there any board members within reach of you? I ask because direct tuition with someone who has already researched bkb is the best...
I live in Arkansas, the Little Rock area to be more specific, I have no idea if there are any board members in the area or not, it would really be nice if...
A good number of titles have been republished on lulu, I'm sure Kirk will give you the details; BTW I recommend Kirk's 'Banned from Boxing' as a very good...
