Boombattle 1: “Hard Times” to Barge-Fighting
The following is the first volume of top tier Boombattle combinations--fists, elbows, lowline kicks, shift-offense, twist-defense, trigger-fighting, and more.
All strategies and tactics you would find in the era of Depression America. Culled from cup fights, illegal barge fights, barroom set-tos, hobo railyard scrums and the like.
See the 1975 film Hard Times for a fine fictional take on the era.
All will be demonstrated via focus pads, but all drills transform lickety-split to sparring, street, heavy bag or shadow work for the solo training vacation times.
72 Rounds of Drilling
These are Hard Combinations from Hard Men who Lived in Hard Times.
For a glimpse from a man who boxed in some of these melees, a man who rode the rails, a man who knew these men, here’s a young Louis L ’Amour on the subject. [Yep, that Louis L ‘Amour of Western novel fame.]
“At the time there were at least twenty good fighters for every one there is now, it was about the only way a young man could come off the streets and become somebody. Now, with basketball and football paying enormous sums, there are many other ways to reach the top and even common labor pays more in a day than one can receive in a week in the 1920s.”
