    Good for a learning experiance and also an historical look at our past.
  

*by O***2 on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017*

This is a great book to read just for a glimpse of our military history! I admit that when I purchased this book it was to acquire some lost or forgotten self defense boxing instructions.  It is a manual for the aviation teacher on preparing cadets for the rigors of battle. It starts with a brief and interesting history of boxing: starting with ancient boxing; as a way to harden soldiers (similar as it is today) and continues into it's modern , but still early turn -of- the -century development. I learned early-1800 boxing matches in Britain not only where bare-knuckles (no gloves), but allowed cudgels and eye gouging! Yikes. Rules where only instated to attract a wealthier and more refined and affluent strata of society. This wealthier upper-class was needed for the prize money for the winners of each bout (hence the word "prize fight"). The small photos that demonstrate the written instructions are black and white, but still adequately show proper form and execution. The lessons are put forth so novice military personnel are first taught the very basic elements of self defense. Starting with conditioning ('road work is the single most important conditioning exercise..") continuing with simple punches ( "a left jab is a 'feeler' punch to keep your opponent off guard.." and a "left hook is the most important punch to learn...") and how to combine several types to knock-out your opponent. It has lessons on stance, attack punches and how to defend against them. I enjoyed this book for the detail on how to box, but also the time period it was written in 1942. Great historical military manual.

    Navy Boxing Excellence ~~~
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013*

I have a pretty extensive collection of self-defense books and fairly good experience of self-defense Arts ~ of the East, West and other ~ old and new. This particular manual concerning the artistry and science of boxing is outstanding for a number of reasons. It is well-organized, concise and precise in presenting an Art of self-defense that is [or can be] well-organized, precise and concise. Quality spot-on information is given on just how, what, when, where, who, whom, why and why not to BOX. A favorite example [for me] of such precise and concise boxing information is the section starting low on page 75 on *Left Jab to the Chin ~ Counter Attack*. Herein is given precise and concise strategic advice on exact boxing technique and nerve reflex conditioning. Such great angles of the Art [and science] of Boxing are given that some may appear to be reinvented elsewhere in other great Arts ~ such as Kenpo, Savate, Krav Maga and Jeet Kune Do ~ and proven yet again in current all-out *Mixed Martial Arts* sparring. It is focused overtly on Boxing Ring ~ SO it does include *sticking* and *slipping* ~ even *en-clinching* and *un-clinching* ~ BUT also how to use palms, arms, holds and head-pressing in order to hit and not be hit via fists. To quote the last statement from the back cover ~ *Get yourself in top fighting shape by following the combat proven boxing drills used by generations of naval recruits.* Note the *combat proven* especially ~~~

    Navy Boxing Manual
  

*by W***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012*

Bar none, this is the best boxing manual I have ever read.  There are more modern books but nothing I've read to date has gone into the intricacies of stance, weight transfer, and all the ways to teach boxing.  I read a book a few months ago about the golden age of boxing and how all the tricks and techniques used then and the trainers teaching them were gone.  Well guess what?  A lot of that supposedly lost information is in this book!There are a few typos and the pictures are extremely dated but this book has the goods.I recently saw a video selling the ringside face-saver headgear where John Brown takes credit for inventing the that type of headgear 15 years ago.  Not so!  This book was published in 1943 and lo and behold on page 19 is a picture of a very similar piece of equipment they had way back then.I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to box or how to teach others to box.
