Download or read book Boxing Simplified written by Clarence E. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 1929 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: By diligently following the principles set forth in this book, I am convinced that any mature person, with ordinary intelligence and initiative, can, without previous ring experience, become a capable teacher of boxing. The book was primarily written to meet the requests of a number of boxing instructors, many of them my former pupils who feel the need of such a handbook for their work. It also arose from the suggestion of a neighbor boy who felt that a book of simplified tactics, with illustrations in which the boxers were numbered and the drill counts given, would enable a troop of Boy Scouts, or any group of boys, to learn boxing without an instructor. Thus, though designed for the professional teacher, the book is also intended for the beginner who wishes to master the principles and technique of practical boxing. How far it has succeeded in the latter aim is indicated by the comment of a father who, on seeing it in manuscript, declared that it was the book he had long looked for in order that he might enjoy roughing it with his boys in teaching them boxing. "And it is so simple," said he, "that anyone can follow it." This statement led to the title, BOXING SIMPLIFIED.
Download or read book The Berlin Boxing Club written by Robert Sharenow and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Taylor Award-winning novel Berlin Boxing Club is loosely inspired by the true story of boxer Max Schmeling's experiences following Kristallnacht. Publishers Weekly called it "a masterful historical novel" in a starred review. Karl Stern has never thought of himself as a Jew; after all, he's never even been in a synagogue. But the bullies at his school in Nazi-era Berlin don't care that Karl's family doesn't practice religion. Demoralized by their attacks against a heritage he doesn't accept as his own, Karl longs to prove his worth. Then Max Schmeling, champion boxer and German hero, makes a deal with Karl's father to give Karl boxing lessons. A skilled cartoonist, Karl has never had an interest in boxing, but now it seems like the perfect chance to reinvent himself. But when Nazi violence against Jews escalates, Karl must take on a new role: family protector. And as Max's fame forces him to associate with Nazi elites, Karl begins to wonder where his hero's sympathies truly lie. Can Karl balance his boxing dreams with his obligation to keep his family out of harm's way? Includes an author's note and sources page detailing the factual inspirations behind the novel.

Download or read book The Fight written by Norman Mailer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaïre, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible “professor of boxing.” The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fighters’ moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailer’s grasp of the titanic battle’s feints and stratagems—and his sensitivity to their deeper symbolism—makes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport. Praise for The Fight “Exquisitely refined and attenuated . . . [a] sensitive portrait of an extraordinary athlete and man, and a pugilistic drama fully as exciting as the reality on which it is based.”—The New York Times “One of the defining texts of sports journalism. Not only does Mailer recall the violent combat with a scholar’s eye . . . he also makes the whole act of reporting seem as exciting as what’s occurring in the ring.”—GQ “Stylistically, Mailer was the greatest boxing writer of all time.”—Chuck Klosterman, Esquire “One of Mailer’s finest books.”—Louis Menand, The New Yorker

With his help and cooking skills, I’ve been able to train harder and make weight easier. I was instantly amazed with how much food I was able to eat and still lose weight. Many of the recipes in this book are not only healthy, but they also look and taste great!” — Daniel Jacobs, current IBF world middleweight boxing champion and former WBA world middleweight boxing champion “This book helped me lean up and perform better during training and competition without feeling like I’m on a diet or having cravings. The recipes Chris give you are simple, delicious, and nutritious. It’s an easy-to-follow lifestyle and the results have been amazing for me—and they’ll be tremendous for you.” — Aung La Nsang, professional MMA fighter and current ONE world middleweight champion and ONE world light heavyweight champion “Chris Algieri is one of the biggest and most fit boxers at his weight class and is a world champion. He makes me confident that not only will I make weight, but I will also perform at my peak performance. He made specific adjustments for my body type and has a great understanding of individual needs. This book will be a great resource for anybody.” — Dennis Bermudez, retired UFC fighter “Chris has helped me with my diet for my entire 10-year career in mixed martial arts. He has helped with my day-to-day nutrition in and out of fight camps, my weight-cut protocol, and my rehydration program for after weigh-ins, which to me are the most important. Chris doesn’t only tell you what to eat and when to eat it, but he also breaks down how every person’s body is different and reacts to certain foods different and he explains why I should eat certain foods and why eating them at a specific time is so important. Having him on my team absolutely gave me a tremendous advantage over my competition. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my diet.” — Ryan LaFlare, retired UFC fighter “I’ve been an athlete my entire life, but nutrition has always overwhelmed me. We live in a culture of fad diets. Consumers are taught to believe you need to starve in order to lose weight. As a result, the public, like me, gets overwhelmed and discouraged. We tend to starve ourselves to lose weight, and when we can’t take it anymore, we binge. Chris’s book has made it finally possible for me to break that cycle. I realize eating healthy doesn’t mean I have to be hungry. It doesn’t have to be boring. Not only do I notice a difference in my physical appearance, but the difference in my mood is also amazing. I can think clearer and feel generally happier just by finally finding a way to maintain healthy eating habits. I think this book serves value to not only those competing but also to anyone looking to make positive changes in their health!” — Sarah Thomas, 2018 New York Golden Gloves winner “Having known Chris and seeing the way he eats for a few years now, I’ve seen with my own eyes the superhuman capabilities it gives someone when they get their nutrition on point. I absolutely love that he’s not only finally sharing a taste of his secret recipes but also a ton of educational content so one can make it relevant to their own lifestyle and delivered using a system that seems very simple to implement.” — Avril Mathie, professional boxer and Miss Swimsuit USA International 2015
