Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense, by Jack Dempsey (Recorded book)

A recording of Jack Dempsey's excellent book "Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense". Champters one through five. I plan on recording the entire book, including the illustrations, with video clips to demonstrate techniques as I go along.

This book is public domain and is available to read or download for free online. I highly recommend anyone interested in training, teaching, coaching, cornering, or competing in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, even BJJ and wrestling... or any other combat sport as well as practical self-defense invest the time into studying this book and internalizing it's principles which transcend boxing. It really is one of the best books on martial arts ever written, regardless of style.

And for all the Bruce Lee fans out there- Mr. Lee himself owned this book, studied it, and borrowed heavily from it in the development of Jeet Kune Do. (Compare Dempsey's illustrations from Championship Fighting with Lee's from the Dao of JKD, and the resemblance is shocking.

Jack Dempsey set the bar higher for all boxers that followed and inspired many subsequent champions including Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson. Tyson idolized Dempsey and modeled his aggressive high risk, high reward style on the template that Dempsey laid out decades previously.

Jack Dempsey is a personal hero of mine for many reasons, and I'm honored to give you my rendition of his words.

Stay tuned for the chapter by chapter break down to come.

Thanks for watching, now get out there and train!
