Simon & Schuster Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense

Muy buen libro..vale la pena

I started boxing more than a year ago now and his Book helped me to improve my Boxing a lot and also taught me many things that weren't taught in my Boxing gym. Dempsey explains the techniques very good in my opinion and almost all techniques aged well also and aren't outdated at all. I only wished he would've talked more about footwork tho. If you look at his fights he may just seem like a brawler who just relies on his strength and aggression but he was actually a technical Genius. I mean I suck at Boxing and I'm not really physically strong but his book helped me a lot to have more snap in my punches, especially when it comes to the jab or jolt. I think anyone who does a martial art or martial arts should read this book.

I recommend this book highly to any casual sports fan that wants to gain a better understanding of the subtleties of boxing. This book is not an advanced training manual for amateur boxers. This book explains the basic X's and O's, technique and tactics of boxing to the complete layman, in an engaging treatise that can be read in an afternoon. After wrapping your head around the stuff in this book, it is quite likely that boxing will become your favorite sport to watch.

Great book for every boxing enthusiast, from amateur to professional. Jack Dempsey offers a new perspective on the art of boxing which is extremely valuable, although at first it may seem a bit "out of date". The drills, the basics, the weight-shifting... Every piece of technique is explained plainly and with the aid of precise drawings. If the reader pays attention, they will find that this book has a lot more in common with the most appreciated fighting styles than it appears at first sight. Got this book for myself (been into boxing for several years) and a copy for a friend of mine who's a new-entry to this beautiful world. Highly appreciated by both of us!

good book well worth the read
