Review
A practical book on boxing fitness is long overdue in the martial arts world and Ian Oliver is eminently qualified to produce such a guide. Ian's approach to the 'noble art' is the same as his approach to life; a down-to-earth, non-nonsense view supported by superior levels of intelligence and humility. Those of us who have been lucky enough to train under Ian have marveled at his wealth of knowledge and his ability to express and share his experiences. He has the ability to make the complex seem simple and is constantly adding to his seemingly endless repertoire of drills. Those reading this book who know Ian will not be surprised at the quality of what is to follow; those who have never met him should prepare themselves for a wonderful journey of discovery. -- Terry Barnett, Top JKD, Panantukan and Eskrima instructor 'Ian Oliver, FHM's 'Fighting Dad', really knows his stuff!' - FHM magazine Also recommended by top martial artists Larry Hartsell, Bob Breen and Rick Faye.

Customer Reviews

Boxing Fitness
An excellent reference guide for boxing training. Covers techniques, equipment, drills, nutrition, and even how to apply hand wraps. There are some excellent sample training programmes in there aswell. Would reccommend it to beginners or anyone looking for new ideas or information on how to maximise their training.

Good stuff
This book is perfect if you know absolutely nothing about the training side of boxing and the physical requirements of it.

It goes through all the types of punches, how to stand and using your body weight while doing them, goes through good routines and advantages of doing running, weights, skipping, sparing and much more.

This is just the type of book that i was looking for and highly recommend it to anyone with no experience of boxing and want to get into it, and also learn how to get fighting fit.

Perfect
All you need to get started and fit!!!! Just the right amount of info to get you started boxing for fitness. Really works and is great fun. My only critism is that there isnt a follow up book for people who want to develop more!!
