College educated, Corbett was also an actor, writer, and boxing coach. "Corbett marked the turning point in ring history, replacing mauling sluggers with the new school of faster, scientific boxers."

During his illustrious boxing career, he earned the title of featherweight champion of the world and won the coveted Lonsdale Belt. "Driscoll was the king of all boxers.

For the average person,
Bruce Lee was a brief star in the entertainment industry who
spawned a pop
culture
kung
fu
craze.
But to those
who knew him, Bruce Lee was also an author, scholar, educator,
philosopher, as well as a groundbreaking martial artist; a man
whose creative energy and desire to grow brought him the respect
of hundreds of thousands of people.
Although much has been written about Jeet Kune Do, the art of
Bruce Lee remains an enigma, spawning endless debate about what
constitutes the art and how it should be taught and applied.
Understanding Jeet Kune Do is vastly different from the books on
Bruce Lee's
martial art that have preceded it, offering a fresh and simple
look at the mystery that is Jeet Kune Do. In Understanding
Jeet Kune Do, author Jason Korol demonstrates:
In 1888, William Edwards
wrote The Art of Boxing and
Manual of Training with the help of his friend and
former ring opponent, Arthur Chambers. One of the earliest
American books on the subject, The Art of Boxing and
Manual of Training features detailed boxing techniques
as well as tips on diet and exercise.
In 1892, "Gentleman" James J. Corbett defeated John L. Sullivan to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Using his own "scientific boxing" techniques, Corbett delivered a blistering lesson to the previously unbeatable Sullivan, ending the fight with a knockout in the 21st round. With Corbett's win, a new era in boxing began.
The Text Book of Boxing is one of the most important boxing books of all time. First published in 1914 and written by England's finest fighter, The Text Book of Boxing is a master class in the manly art of pugilism. This boxing manual contains over 40 photographs and detailed instructions on the proper execution of boxing techniques for both offense and defense.
