The Boxer's Workout

I have been training in martial arts now for about ten years, but I have never been completely satisfied with my systems' hand techniques. This book is awesome for a beginner or someone like myself who is looking to hone certain skills. While it is true that some things are outdated, the book is packed with helpful information. Anyone who would completely dismiss this book is foolish. Mr. Depasquale has done a nice job, and should be commended. Mr. DePasquale, reguarding all who would foolishly dismiss your book: "Speak not in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of thy words." (Proverbs 23:9)

Peter DePasquale's "The Boxer's Workout" is a perfect introductory book for those interested in boxing. It covers the basics like necessary equipment, how to wrap your hands, nutrition, workouts and basic technique. The photographs are helpful and most are clear. The book's most unique and best attribute is the workout it describes. This was designed by DePasquale for white collar boxers. The workout is a non-contact boxing workout that can be done at home or in a gym. The workout is good for stand alone fitness or it can be used to prepare for more advanced boxing and sparring. If the reader wishes to take this route the book offers advice on finding a good professional boxing gym. I must agree with the other reviewers that some of the techniques are somewhat dated and that DePasquale sometimes gets overly nostalgic about The Gramercy Boxing gym and the white collar boxing movement. However I forgive DePasquale because the workout is so effective and enjoyable. The book is well written and even an experienced boxer can learn something from it.

This book shows you the basic technique of boxing, a very good manual for the beginners.

Tells you everything , you dont have to have too have much equipment , and you dont have to have a brain either , all the directions are given to you !!!!

This book has everything that a person needs to know in order to have knowledge on a real boxing workout. It shows you from the very basic things to extensive techniques in the ring. Anyone without experience will need this book and experienced boxers and trainers will appreciate everything that the book covers. By far the best book I've ever seen that works so well for everyone. It's a real knockout
