The Ring's How to Box

Nat Fleischer was considered by many as the "Father of Boxing." Starting "Ring" magazine in 1922, Fleischer was an avid proponent and fan of boxing throughout his life. How to Box was originally written in 1929 and went through several editions up to the 10th edition in 1962. Created as a training manual for the beginning boxing enthusiast, Fleischer goes through the many aspects of boxing training with the intention of giving an insight into the technical knowledge of boxing, as well as providing a foundation for ongoing training in the art. Written clearly and intelligently with the aim to make boxing methods fully comprehensible to any lay person, How to Box is amply illustrated with drawings and photographs showing different leads, counters, cross-counters, swing hooks, jabs, uppercuts, etc. It also carries advice on training from many champions of the day. A must-have edition to any boxing library and an indispensible reference to any student of boxing and other martial arts.
