In retired life, Fitzsimmons taught Boxing, Self-Defense, and Physical Fitness, then known as "Physical Culture." In 1901, he published his Fitness and Boxing manual titled "Physical Culture and Self Defense" which included material from earlier articles he had written.
This book is a faithful retranscription by Kirk Lawson of the original text. Special attention has been given to recreating the look and feel of the original document, including similar fonts, the preservation of spelling, hyphenation, and intentionally blank pages.

Blows to the Head: How Boxing Changed My Mind

Why am I fascinated by boxing?' asks Binnie Klein. And like a savvy fighter, she approaches her question from a variety of angles: Is it to do with being Jewish? Being a woman? Approaching middle age? Is it about family history? Klein tackles these questions with a deft and admirably light touch. The result is the warmest, funniest, and most tough-minded boxing book I've ever read."

Inside the Ring By Ross Enamait

Ducking Punches - A Simple Boxing Defense!

There are two main reasons why a boxer ducks during a contest. The first most obvious reason is as a boxing defense to avoid an opponent's punches, hence the title 'ducking punches'. The second reason is to engage the opponent with body shots otherwise a boxer may 'punch down' to the body and this has it's problems. There is a third reason, which relates to 'feinting' to draw a reaction from the opponent, and this is dealt with in the article Feinting in Boxing, well worth a look. Ducking is one of the most simple boxing techniques to learn, and when executed correctly and at the right time opens up many avenues for attack as well reducing the risk of taking head shot

Slipping Punches with Ease!

Before showing the video, I wanted to outline some of the benefits of slipping punches. Slipping punches offers a world of opportunity in terms of capitalizing on the openings created. By definition, when you as a boxer successfully slip a shot, you are within range to land any of a battery of your own shots. By continually slipping punches, ducking punches and rolling (or the bob and weave) during a boxing match, it has the effect of making it very difficult for an opponent to target your head and also acts as a feint or diversion, which applies a constant level of pressure to the opponent during the contest.

Counter Punching

In this article we are going to look at Lomachenko taking on the brilliant Russian bantamweight (54KG) World Champion Sergey Vodopiyanov. The contest took place in the 2009 World Championships in Milan and was to decide the gold medal winner at featherweight (57KG). Both are southpaws and both are brilliantly skilled. The difference is that Vodopiyanov uses what is fundamentally a defensive counter punching style. Lomachenko is more versatile and that is what ultimately is the difference between the two.

Boxing Footwork

Footwork is the word used to describe how we move around a boxing ring, being able to change position and approach depending upon what is needed to overcome a particular type of opponent. All of this whilst remaining perfectly balanced. This is not a simple and straightforward thing to do.

The key thing to remember about footwork is that it is not about dancing around the ring like an imitation of Ali. Sure, good footwork would allow this type of movement, but good footwork is more subtle than this. In fact, good footwork is just more than this!

Learn How to Box - Punching

Punching is what everyone automatically associates with boxing, and why wouldn't you? After all, punching is what ultimately delivers victory. The absence of punching will not only lead to a rather dull boxing encounter, it may also lead to one or both boxers being disqualified for not being proactive. In short, to learn how to box we really do need to throw punches and throw them well.

Body Punches

Effective body punching turns the tide of fights. There is no doubt about this. It's true that some fighters have massive, almost unnatural resistance to head punches. These same fighters cannot have the same resistance to accurate, well-timed body punches. A single body punch can bring about an instant end or a lingering one. Both however will result in the most agonizing and distressing experiences that a boxer is likely to experience inside a boxing ring. Head shots don't do that.

Body Movement

Good body movement adds a certain something to a boxer's style. When done right it makes the boxer look like the consummate professional. It's also a brilliantly diverse type of skill, which we'll cover in a moment, so if you want to learn how to box then understanding how to execute the perfect body movement skills are vital.

Counter Punching and Boxing

The great Floyd Mayweather recently stated that he is the best counter punching boxer in the history of the sport. Counter punching aside (just for a moment), I actually believe that Floyd is one of the greatest boxers in history. I won't go into the reasons for my opinion here, but because I feel that he's one of the greatest boxers in history this means that by definition he is one of the greatest at counter punching.

In this article I want to explore what counter punching is and how it fits in with boxing. I also want to give 6 tips that will help you to exploit a range of tactics, skills and approaches to become an elite counter punching boxer.
