Great thread, thanks for posting this.

I agree. Eventually a beginner will grow to the point that he'll need to do things in order to separate them self from the pack. Here's a quote from Jesse Rodriguez.

"That having been said, the advanced level boxer needs to differentiate himself from the rest of the experienced pack of bulls with picture perfect basics. That is when ideas from coaches such as yourself come into play. The Johnny Tapias, Naseem Hameds, and Roy Joneses of pro boxing owe a great measure of their success to very UNORTHODOX techniques and moves. At that level, one cannot afford to be predicable. These guys and their coaches can pick apart predicable fighters 8 days a week."

Andre from this board is the surviving business partner of Jesus Rodriguez. He has the all the tapes, it's about 6 hours of techniques per tape, which is if you do the math is 6 tapes/6 hours each. I'm not sure if he has any extra copies besides backups. For the time being, Andre's busy with his own things; however I'll see about contacting him after next week when he's available.

Anyways Jesse's main website is down, but I was able to find his older website that you may be interested in. You can check it out here: http://www.boxingimprovement.20m.com/

His tapes were advertized in Ring Magazine, Boxer's Digest, and Boxing Monthly, you can read some fighter's comments there in his old website.

You won't be able to buy the tapes from the websites given address, you'll just have to wait and see.

Gooday Chris thats great that you got a hold of those lessons from Jesses old site.
You know i never knew they were still there.
I spent hours translating them into proper english for him too!
I thought allthat work was lost!
Thanks mate.

His cousin Carlos who is mentioned on the site as the American and mexican contact wont reply to my emails.
Its my intention to try to contact Jesees mother and send any profits out to her in Lima which is where he was when the accident occured.
I think thats what he would have liked.
I'll try the births and deaths dep in Lima if something doesnt come to light.
Either that or i'll put it to a charity over there somehow.
Sorry for the delay on the dvds mate, Ive been away working ,and to come home and pry these kids off the telly and video of a weekend is one thing let alone me try to work out how to get them to tape over correctly ,the first 3 were a breeze but i had to keep trying different settings for the rest ;anyway I have 5 of 6 done and for some reason the sixth has a block on it.
I have a computer wizz comming here soon for other reasons and he should have a programme to break it for me.
back at you soon.

Hey Andre. I was able to get a lot of the pictures from the mexican sites that he posted his manual on. The words were in Spanish, but I had a printed copy that I had made while his website was still up and running and was able to retype it all.

Hey guys.

I was wondering if when you guys get those tapes/dvds available if there would be a way I could get them?

Thanks, the instruction at the front of the thread helped alot. Especially the ali step. I've been improvising that in a variety of ways.

I just got the dvd's a few days ago and they're worth every penny and then some.

Anyways they're available for buying from Andre. You can contact him through email at jagsl@bigpond.com

They're $100 for 36 hours worth, the stuff on the tapes are hard to find and make the instructionals sold in boxing catalogues pale in comparison. Lots of interesting stuff that you can add to your repetoir and to your better understanding.

He's told me that all profits from these tapes will be used to help Aids babies of Kwa Zulu Natal, so it'll be nice to know that the money will go for a good cause.

Thanks. I've sent him an e-mail.

Glad you like them Chris I was going to edit them down ,but then thought the earlier basic footwork sections that repeat for a few times are handy if you physically copy the actions as you watch them on the screen,so I left them alone. If anyone purchased the original three tapes I will do a special deal for the last three tapes in the series for you on dvd as it was a living growing set of works until Jesses accident.
Posting yours out in a few hours time Tendaii.

Got em. Thanks alot Andre.

The image hosting website is down. I'll see about fixing them in the near future.

Have you got them all saved yourself Chris?
I have to make another web sometime and want those for it if possible.
ITs a good pre lesson before the dvd is seen.

I sent you a couple emails with everything that I saved from Jesse's website including the lesson that you asked about.

If anyone needs to download it they can check the .pdf file on the last page, or download a microsoft word document from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/59427457...g_Lessons.docx
