The boy who wants to learn boxing can best do so by getting practical instruction from a proficient teacher, and later when he has some familiarity with the elements of the science by working as a sparring partner with some experienced man...Practical hints such as are contained in this hand-book will be found helpful to those who have access to good instructors, and to those remote from urban centers who with the as­sistance of an enthusiastic partner carefully re­hearse the various movements a fundamental knowledge of the game will be conveyed, such as will be of use should the chance arrive later to work with a skillful man."- Excerpt from Introduction
