Summary: Girlbox
Review: I was glad to find a boxing book written by a woman. The information is for all, however, so men should not put off by the fact a female is the author. She gives extremely good basic information about "the sweet science". This is a great book for those new to boxing.

Summary: Meh, you can't learn to box from a book
Review: I'm an MMA fan, and I wholey agree that boxing is an integral part of the standup game (maybe more than Muay Thai) but I don't think you can get it from a book. If you want to learn to box I suggest you get to a gym. this book is good in that it gives you a lot of the basics and even the more in depth information on the intricacies of punches is good, BUT unless you have somebody who can coach you through your development, you're gonna suck at boxing, no question about it.In MMA I would say that books on grappling are a better use of your money because you can reference back to them for pointers on the hundreds of techniques you can use, however in boxing there are less than 10 common punches, and you have to MASTER those punches (as well as movement, footwork and an assortment of other things) to learn to box well. Mastery of anything requires tutorial that can't be found in a book no matter how in depth. Bottom line: the information is good, but you'd be better off spending this money on a membership to a boxing gym.

Summary: Best guide ever for fitness boxing
Review: I've been taking fitness boxing classes for the past few years & have purchased several of the published training guides. Danna Scott's have been by far the best. The explanations along with the photographs are first rate. I highly recommend this book for beginners or advanced boxers. There's something for everyone.

Summary: Ross Enamait's Books are far better
Review: In my opinion, the best bang for the buck when it comes to boxing and martial art information is written by Ross Enamait. His products can be viewed at www.rossboxing.com. The forum there is also great. Check it out before you purchase anything else. I think you will be very impressed. I know for a fact that I was, and I own and have read countless boxing and martial arts "how to" books. Todd Reinhard

Summary: as a woman boxer, this book is especially helpful
Review: it can be intimidating to enter a class like boxing having no clue as to what you're doing. danna scott's book is an excellent resource for any boxer, but particularly for a beginner who really wants to master form. not to mention that the shiny, high-waisted shorts are just so flattering on those models; i feel a new trend coming on....

It will guide you through some of the basic equipment up to a full work-out which will put you through your paces. This book should definitely be in your collection if you are even remotely interested in boxing.
