    I'm pleased to announce that I've republished "Teacher of Sparring" by Edwin F. Shaw, 1886.

    The pdf download is, as always, free:

    Interesting Kirk that there are some methods in these older boxing systems that remind me of chinese martial arts. The ''chopper'' here appears to have parallels in the Hakka arts.

    Thanks very much for the download.

    Yeah, you don't see the chopper much. Where you do, it's always a variation of the back-fist or a hammer-fist. Usually straight down on the opponent's nose or brow.

    Peace favor your sword,

    As always another brilliant one by Lklawson. A huge tip of the hat for taking the time to publish this and many other good books on boxing as a free PDF file. :)
