Boxing
The Problem in boxing is not only which skills and techniques to learn,
but when and how to learn them. Literature in the field at the present
time seemingly ignores this problem. In any field where continued
development rest upon the mastery of each element in its correct place,
the learning sequence is all important. Great skill in boxing can result
only through mastery of each technique in its proper place. There is a
proper learning sequence in boxing which, if followed, allows a natural
development to result. Ignore it and the development of skill is
definitely limited.
The learning sequence herein presented is the result of experiment and
experience. It is not perfect and no doubt further experience will bring
constructive changes. It is, however a sequence which seems to bring the
quickest results and greatest skill with a minimum output of time and
energy. Followed closely, it enable the student of boxing to continue
as far as is desired, ability and determination being the only limiting
factors. |
