Thanks (again) Chris. Now I have copy that is readable.
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.
Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
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.
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.Originally Posted by lklawson

oh yes thank you so much!! There is so much good stuff in here the only time i will leave the computer is to go to the gym lol. Seriously thank you so much herb for the link and the help once again and chris thank you for all the posts in that thread. You both are very generous with your knowledge
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.

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
