Download or read book How to Box written by Joe Louis and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1948, "How to Box" was the first instructional book developed and written by one of the greatest fighters of his time, Joe Louis. The nuts and bolts of Louis' brilliant engineering are here in this book. Legend has it that before beginning the fighter-trainer relationship that would help define him, Louis worked with one Holman Williams who is credited by some with supplying Louis with perhaps the most precious gift he ever received-his jab. But Williams is also said to have taught Louis the rudiments of the defense and was supposedly the first man to encourage Louis to punch in combination. "Boxing is built upon punching and footwork," says How to Box. "If the stance is too narrow for balance, move the right foot a few inches to the right to widen the stance; if too wide, glide the right foot forwards a few inches. Don't lock the left leg but keep it straight."Freddie Roach described Joe Louis as the "best textbook fighter of all time." Here we see the first great foundation of that inch-perfect style. Louis hardly ever made small adjustments with his left foot. His left jab is always perched over that lead foot, ready to be thrown. A boxing training manual intent on conveying the art of boxing, physical fitness knowledge, and the power of the sport to the general public. A great historical reference and a valuable addition to any library concerned with the history of boxing and martial arts.
