Fight (Passionate Pursuits)
07. Feb, 2010 · Filed Under Boxing, books, wrestlingCheck out this great coffee table book ( it is in paperback – so is not a true coffee table book) on combat sports by Philippe Di Folco. More specifically Wrestling and Boxing. You can read the book in its entirety on Google Book.
The books id divided into 5 chapters:
- Part 1: The origins of Combat
- Part 2: Wrestling – An Open Sports
- Part 3: From the Streets to the Ring
- Part 4: The Civillian Arena
- Part 5: Appendix
My biggest complaint is that in “Part 2: Wrestling – An Open Sports” all the full page photographs were of submission wrestling and not Greco Roman or Free Style this may confuse the reader.
This is a nice coffee table books that give a general and historical information on two of the Worlds’ oldest sports.
Wrestling, close-combat, self-defence and combat sports (in or out of the ring), with the exception of martial arts, are here analysed by a specialist double. A first-rate publication overflowing with on-the-spot photographs depicting facial injuries, sweating bodies, physical effort, bruises, muscles and brute force.
