This instructional book, "Boxing Simplified" by John Walsh, offers a comprehensive guide to the principles of successful boxing, specifically tailored for amateur boxing and its coaches. Endorsed by Arch Ward, Sports Editor of The Chicago Tribune, this publication aims to dispel misconceptions surrounding amateur boxing and elevate the sport's caliber. Walsh's unparalleled record as an amateur boxer and coach, including leading the University of Wisconsin boxing team to an undefeated streak and coaching United States Olympic Team boxers, underpins the long-proven facts presented within. The book serves as a masterful teaching instrument, designed for boxers, coaches, athletic directors, and various organizations seeking to integrate boxing into their programs.
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and concise instruction, serving as both an educational tool and a compelling medium for promoting the sport of boxing. It covers the fundamental principles of effective boxing, drawing from practical experience rather than unproven theories. This resource is intended for anyone involved in amateur boxing, from individual participants to institutional leaders, offering a solid foundation for athletic and physical education. The content focuses on practical application and dispelling myths, making it an invaluable guide for improving the sport and its practitioners.
Devoted as I am to popularizing amateur boxing and to improving the caliber of this particularly desirable competitive sport, I am highly enthusiastic over John Walshs boxing instruction book.
No one in the United States today can equal Johns record as an amateur boxer and a coach. He is highly regarded as a sportsman. Before turning to coaching and the practice of law John was one of the most successful college and Golden Gloves boxers the sport has ever known.
The soundness of his instruction is impressively at-tested to by the feats of his University of Wisconsin boxing team in going nine years without loss to a collegiate rival in a dual meet.
In this book John sets forth clearly and concisely the principles of successful boxing just as he has imparted them for years to boxing classes, members of his fabulously successful Wisconsin team, and United States Olympic Team boxers whom he has coached. These pages are commendably free of unproven theory. Everything ex¬pounded by John is based on long-proven fact.
This book will prove a tremendous aid to boxers and coaches alike. I am particularly enthusiastic about the manner in which John dispels quaint and absurd miscon-ceptions about amateur boxing. This book is not only a masterful teaching instrument, but also a convincing selling medium for the sport.
Athletic directors in schools, military establishments, clubs, churches, and communities would do well to study the pages that follow. No one doing so could deny boxing its rightful place in any well-rounded athletic or physical education program.
