US Military - Boxing training manual

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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

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!

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.
