Don't know if anyone has seen this, but I've been meaning to post it for some time. Ralph will be well-acquainted with it, but for those of you who don't have...
Carls BKB material is the best video representation of Allanson- Winn's book I have seen to date. I love the intensity of his presentation- you can tell by the...
Indeed, Carl was the genuine article, and I truly lament the fact that I was never able to meet and train under him. I am, at least, grateful we have some...
Listmembers, There's a fellow over in England, Iain Abernathy, who teachs/promotes "Applied Karate", who also has somewhat of an interest in Classic Pugilsm. I...
Hi everyone, ... While researching old charters I came across the following ... I have been studying English charters and came across the following which may...
Have any of you gentlemen had any experience with Rodney "Chico" King's Crazy Monkey Boxing? If so, what is your estimation of it, and what parallels do you...
These videos are posted by the same fellow who put up the Cestari Bare-Knuckle videos. I believe they come from a DVD series sold by Matt Furry, whose...
Hello Andrew, Nice find. Now as far as this crazy monkey boxing being a new form of boxing, I'm just not so sure about that. After looking at your link and...
Thanks, Ellis. I am familiar with 52 Handblocks/Jailhouse Rock, having read of it, mainly through the Stickgrappler web pages and the work of Dennis Newsome....
Forgive me; I misspelt "independently" in that last message--not that anyone but I cares. I will say this. I am frightened at the thought of using of the Crazy...
I'd love to hear what he has to say on that. It appears that crazy Monkey Boxing has some 52 in it and may incorpricate other aspects to form a system of it's...
Do any of the old pugilistic manuals address the issue of proper fist formation for bare-knuckle use? Author Ned Beaumont in his Championship Streetfighting...
The similarities between the 52s and Crazy Monkey boxing (and the Keysi Method) have been noted before, but AFAIK there is no connection between them other...

... Edwin Haislet, though though that's 1940. I think Sullivan does. I know that he has *illustrations* anyhow. So does Corbett. Very clear photos of how to...
Can someone explain the skills of 52, and what makes it different to classical Western boxing. Thanks, Craig G http://defensedanslarue.wordpress.com To:...
... This is a big stink'n kettle of fish. 52 (aka, "52 Blocks," "52 Hand Blocks," "Jail-House Rock") is said to be modern(ish) system of unarmed fighting...
Hi Craig and list, a number of years ago I developed a strong interest in the 52 Blocks and managed to gain the trust of one of the few modern practitioners...
Ellis, I will report back as soon as I am able to contact Rodney. I would still like any of the bare-knuckle men on this list to comment on the similarities...
Honestly, this doesn't look a bit different from burmese boxing (thiang), and other indigenous bare knucks type of stuff many MMA guys train in. At first...
Which videos did you watch? Rodney does draw upon Muay Thai, but I think the base remains in western boxing. Andrew ... From: awm33@... <awm33@...> ...
Kirk, what did you mean by "this is a big stinkin' kettle of fish?" I don't follow. Are you saying 52 Handblocks is rubbish? Or is it a comment on this thread...
Thank you, Prithivirajch. I am familiar with the method Dempsey advocates, and I believe I may have read those portions of Fitzsimmon's and Edward's books as...
I just watched the one from the link you provided and the first one on the website. Those elbowing in the clinches and head manipulation looked very familiar...

... Well, the likelihood of their being single point of origination is unlikely. More likely is that, given similar problems and similar resources human...
Thanks, James. I've read that article before, as well. It was, as I recall, a good read. However, I'm still looking for a written document from the days of...
Thank you. Fascinating. I had only given that manual a cursory glance before. I must stress here that I have encountered several modern documents on the...
