[Edit: There is a better copy available here: Boxing by Haislet Edwin L. in Sports & Adventure All thanks to the effort of Kirk Lawson who republished and re-transcribed the book.]

Was just seaching for 'Boxing by EDWIN L. HAISLET' & 'INTRAMURAL BOXING AY 01-02' found this thread

[Chris Nagel]

Jim, check out the Ebooks thread in the training subsection. It has much more boxing books than you might ever read.

Btw, Kirk Lawson has re-transcribed the Edwin Haislet book, and I supplied him with the missing page that was absent in my original raw scans. The link to his lulu storefront is in the ebooks thread. Did I mention that the ebooks are free?

That's a coincidence, I had already found it on that lulu website. But yeah, i'll check out the Ebooks section... That sort of thing fascinates me (boxing, in theory)

Thanks man

Chris, can you point me in the direction of aquiring Naval Aviation Training Manual 1st edition? I have been dying to read it since I heard about it!

[Chris Nagel]

You can find a good deal for it on Amazon.com. It's not available in ebook form. If you want to view the original source, try Edwin L. Haislet's book. Haislet's ebook has been republished and can be viewed or purchased from Kirk Lawson's Lulu storefront.

The 1943 US Navel Aviation's Boxing, is a near-verbatim reprint of Haislet's book with several additions. An interesting addition is the chapter on feinting and drawing, clinching and infighting. The book outlines more combinations, and contains more details on the drop-shift, triples, as well as shifts. The photographs are nice, although they advocate a more 'square' stance than I would recommend.

OK, I've repubed a new (old) boxing manual that I want to let everyone know about and this is a cheap way to bump my post-count. Sux, but those are the forum rules so I have to live by them.

Peace favor your sword,

It's a shame that there isn't a generalized forum for other manuals, such as antique wrestling manuals. I have a ton of them too.

Hello, this may sound ridiculous but could someone give me a summary of the books and manuels talked about on here and how i can obtain copies? I have skimmed through here and tried some posts and a couple didnt work. I would really like to read these manuals.

Start here:

Boxing History and Ring Science Ebooks (with an explanation of most of them):

The thread is in the Important and Useful Posts Subforum (of Ask the Trainer)
Important / Useful Posts

Personally I love the Dempsey, Haislett, Frazier, Champ Thomas, & Inside the Ring (Ross Enamait) book -- the fairly modern books on actual technique. I have learned so much from reading, and re-reading these books.

By 'modern' I mean anything that deals with the general sport that uses something approaching modern rules and modern techniques.

Dempsey's book is about as good as you can find on the subject and it is from about 1950, 50 or 60 years ago.

I briefly summarized a few of the books earlier in this thread. Herb posted the link to the thread that I referred to. I need to fix some of the books in that thread. In the past a forum glitch prevented me from editing some of the posts, but I should be able to now. In the meantime for the Haislet book, d/l it from Kirk Lawson's storefront. It's great.

Anyway, if you have the time, it's worth going through the older manuals as well. These old-timers deserve respect as they had to contend with harsher conditions than what is given today. There are moves that can be learned from the old manuals are still applicable in ring if given the time.

It's a shame that there isn't a generalized forum for other manuals, such as antique wrestling manuals. I have a ton of them too.

Hey Kirk, do you recall Stickgrappler's forum? I think that your books would've found a nice home there. I think the archives of it is still around, would've been nice if that forum was still active though.
