US Military - Boxing training manual

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.

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.

Chris is 'da Man'.

I haven't seen many posts from him in recent weeks, but he has been EXTREMELY helpful to me ever since I started visiting these forums, specifically in responding to my questions, in posts intended to share his knowledge with everyone, and in his posts of book links where I learned so much.

A good strategy on learning here, would be to search on Chris Nagal's name and read most anything he wrote.

Yeah, Stickgrappler is a great guy. The first electronic version of Dempsey I found was on his site.

He still blogs occasionally but is a family man so that eats a lot of his time.

I guess it was really just an idle thought.

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk

Hey Chris N,

I am new to this site (and to the sport of boxing), and discovered your post saying that you had a copy of "Boxing" by Edwin L Haislet. I was curious if you still had that and would be willing to send me a pdf (or whatever format it's in)? I want to learn more about the sport of boxing, and will likely buy a book on it, but it seems that Edwin's book may have some pretty good information.

Thanks for your time!

Ian
