"...the most important work on classical boxing I have seen so far ... this book will be very very important in the history of this art." -Ken Pfrenger
"Reads very nicely, logical progression, clear layout..." -Tony Wolf
Join Western martial artist Kirk Lawson as he explores the exiting and mostly forgotten world of grappling from historic boxing.
Using antique boxing manuals as reference as well as a healthy dose of experience, Kirk systematically presents in easy to follow terms and sequences the throws, trips, and grapples of historic boxing.
With more than 70 illustration, both new and taken from historic manuals, modern martial artists and boxing historians alike will find this book an indispensable reference.
