I just bought "How to Box" by Tousey. Late 1800s. Also have made a bid on Spalding's "How to Punch the Bag".
Further, I've gathered enough resources on James Sullivan's boxing manual to be able to re-edit together multiple scans of pics and thus reasonably create "New Art" so that I can repub. I'll probably give Dr. Meyers' credit for sourcing it though.
Not boxing, but I've also got "The Science of Wrestling and Art of Jiu Jitsu" (circa 1920's ims) sitting on my shelf waiting for me to repub it.
I'm still trying to source some Saber/Broadsword manuals as well.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting Tousey. Ken Pfrenger provided me a photocopy he has but the person making the original copy for him missed a number of pages and they're just GONE. I hate doing that so I decided to invest in my own original.
Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
