About this listen
This volume is a practical and comprehensive compendium of traditional English bare-knuckle boxing. It brings together extracts from 31 historical treatises, selected through meticulous research and edited for clarity, coherence, and thematic consistency, featuring 300 original images.
The material is distilled and reorganized by subject, allowing readers to trace the development of English boxing and to understand each technique within its historical context. Divided into four distinct parts: The pugilism of the Broughton era and earlier; The London Prize Ring era; Grappling techniques historically integrated into bare-knuckle fighting; and Boxing applied to the fixed bayonet. The book offers a clear, systematic, and authoritative view of traditional English pugilism, directly in the words of the great masters of the past.
This is a book no Gentleman should be without.
