Boxing Taught Through the "Slow Motion Film" - Paperback

by Charles Rose (Author)

This unique take on boxing instruction takes its cues from the best fights of the early 1900s with the likes of Kid Lewis, Billy Wells and Carpentier. The guide uses slow motion stills from boxing film, and breaks down the techniques and tips of the champs for the audience to emulate. Replete with multi-angle photography of boxing in its rawest context (a fight) it eschews the theory and gets to what works and how the champions make it work. This guide uses comparative analysis to showcase stylistic and strategic differences in techniques like left hooks, slips and crosses, to give multiple perspectives from a myriad of fighters.
