Fistic combat represents the greatest human drama in all of sport. Roman gladiators thrilled citizens and emperors alike when they entered the octagon to face an intense, life-threatening experience. Boxing, the sport of kings, also has its roots in the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome. Banned in 500 A.D. by the Emperor Theodoric, it resurfaced twelve centuries later in England. John Milton praised it as a noble art for building character in young men, and sports writer A.J. Leibling dubbed it the Sweet Science. Many of its major protagonists - men such as Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali - have become transcendent, near-mythic heroes. But boxing is not the only combat sport, and mixed martial arts, in all their ferocious beauty, represent the fastest growing sports genre in the world. Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) has joined boxing in paying seven figures to some of its champions, and draws millions in its pay-per-view events. This book details leading figures in boxing, sumo wrestling, kickboxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, and mixed martial arts (including organizations such as Ultimate Fighting, PRIDE, K-1, Total Combat, and SportFighting). Over 150 entries cover champions, contenders, and other famous combatants from all over the world, as well as legendary promoters, managers, trainers, and events. Also included in this encyclopedia are sidebars on controversies, highlights, brief bios, and other noteworthy events, along with a general timeline. .

Excerpt from The Complete Handbook of Boxing and Wrestling: With Full Simple Instructions on Acquiring These Useful, Invigorating, and Health-Giving Arts; Illustrated With Fifty Original Engravings and Portraits There is no single exercise taught m our gymnasiums, or practiced on land or water, which calls into active use more parts of the body at the same time than the art of Sparring. It brings into play everymuscle and nerve from the eyes to the toes, while the brain plays a very con Spicuous part. It is f01 this reason, more than to make candidates for the Prize Ring, we take a stand in its favor, adding that a knowledge of the science ill be found of incalculable value if ever you should be forced into a fight, be attacked by some street rowdy, or be called upon to defend either sex from insult or actual assault. -a, com plete knowledge of Sparring gives confidence and Courage, coolness, presence of mind, quick perception, grace, elas ticity, strength, manliness, and, even when the knife or. Pistol has been attempted to be used: we have known scores of cases where their weapons have been seized and a sound thrashing administered to those benton killing them or someone else. Ri'he main object in Sparring is to strike your adversary as often as possible and'prevent him. From striking you.
