Hi Stefan, I have a daughter named Sophia as well...great minds eh?:) ... I look forward to seeing you next ISMAC....No wmaw for me this time around. Just...
Hi Stefan, That is a tall order! Knowing your preference for more of an upright fencing-like approach to pugilism, I would have to say that Price would be a...
Allanson-Winn's stuff may be later than we're looking for here, but he does offer a set of lessons and (as a trained engineer) effectively addresses the...
Hi Stefan, I?d prefer to combine the lessons of Mendoza with the techniques that are described in Sullivan`s manual. Although I don`t practice Pugilism too...
I'm with Ken on this, Mendoza's lessons and principles can be adapted for use with several other 'styles'. I use Mendoza's lessons with other styles with great...
... I started off with Walker's basic system, expanding the blocks based on Mendoza's lessons. This seemed to work quite well. Defensive Exercises is now...
hello: for a all-in-one sourcebook on the grappling of pugilism, there's of course Kirk's excellent BANNED FROM BOXING book :-) ~sg 2e. Re: starting Pugilism ...
Thank you for all your suggestions, gentlemen! I'm going through Sullivan at this time. He makes it easy to access his stuff due to his very graphical...

... If you want very good defensive moves, read Jack Dempsey's book from 1950 on boxing. It can be found on the net for free. Part of the offensive moves do...
Hi Stefan! ... I think I speak for everypne here when I say it is always great to help someone just starting out. We are all happy to encourage other people to...

Hi there! I thought I'd give you a quick update on how I (we) progress. I read / looked through Sullivan. It gives a quick overview over the main techniques,...

... Interesting. I found his simple method very good and useful for getting started. However, I would feel the need to use his basic parade on both sides at...

... I am not a big fan of his universal parry. At least for me it has me off blanace and slows down any return I could possibly make and most important for me,...
... Thanks - that makes sense. I've not had too much trouble with it but the universal parry isn't a very flexible system. I asked about his other defence as...
... Great manual. As I'm reading through Mendoza's book, I find that Art and Practice lifted quite a bit from Mendoza. I'm looking forward to repugbing the...
Hi Ken, thank you for pointing me at the 'celebrated pugilist'. I already had the book. Years ago some friends gave me a number of copies of pugilism books at...

Has anyone seen any texts from the classical pugilism period that discuss safe falling? The only one I can recall seeing is Walker's Defensive Exercises but I...
... No. None. The closest (besides Walker) is Edwards which says that you have to see to your fall. Great. :P ... Walker's advice on safe falling is...
