Written by J.O’Neil on behalf of the Royal Navy Physical Training School in Portsmouth, this action-packed volume showcases the latest in boxing training methodologies in 1919.

Designed as a practical guide for Naval and wider Armed Forces instruction, it showcases the fundamentals of the art via techniques, strength training and drills.

The volume also explores the inherent value of boxing within the Armed Forces and how to best build boxing training into PT sessions (including equipment, locations and session structuring).

This comprehensive guide is clearly photographed and gives easy to follow instruction on a full suite of blows, defences, footwork and ring strategies.

As a Chief Staff Instructor during and after war-time, O’Neil had clear belief in the power of boxing to enhance morale, fortitude and fighting fitness of soldiers and sailors. In this guide he makes it easier than ever before to rally service-people around the sweet science.
