Crafted by an unnamed 'Fistic Expert', this 1937 guide uses a mix of film strip style illustrations and easy to follow sketches to showcase the latest advances in professional boxing. With a clear focus on the fundamentals, it covers the use of equipment, the techniques and the thoughts of the author(s) on the rules, training regimen, rules and boxing culture of the time. This is an extremely comprehensive guide that gives the reader all the tools needed to sharpen their skills in-light of the most celebrated and successful pugilists of the late 30’s and early 40’s. Typical of its time and geography (an American publication) there’s a big focused on the crouched power-punching style of boxing favoured in the US. With many times on power generation and strength development alongside in-fighting strategies.
