BOX - KICKBOX: [translated]

by M.P. Lynch

Jack Johnson had not yet crushed Tommy Burns, and Jack Dempsey was but a star on the horizon. The year was 1908, and France had begun to take an interest in the Sweet Science. Hoping to cultivate a first generation of French pros, J. Mortane and A. Linville joined forces with the American Champ Willie Lewis and the savate fighter Castérès to create a manual for novice boxers/kickboxers. Here you will find both an enduring core of wisdom regarding the manner in which to box and train alongside some practices peculiar to the age (burgundy wine in training and dubious elixirs for health). You will also find the seeds of MMA fighting which would take almost a century to blossom. From bare knuckles in Britain to the octagon of the present day, BOX-KICKBOX has something to interest and amuse every fight enthusiast.
