“Battles are won by fire and by movement. The purpose of the movement is to get the fire in a more advantageous place to play on the enemy. This is from the rear or flank.”—General George S. Patton, Jr. “War as I Knew It” [1947]
“Give ‘em the shift, then shift ‘em agin!”—Reported “Ringside” at an Impromptu Scuffle in Georgia, circa. 1840s.
Fist fighting/Boxing were different animals in the early days of the Republic. Before the turn to “extending” bouts and the bleed over from AAU rules to score fights, less “fencing” minded tactics were embraced.

We see many examples of this in the early era [ungloved] on into the early glove era [Dempsey, Wolgast, Ketchel et al.] into unlicensed fighting influenced by penitentiary adaptation on into the Cus D’Amato tutelage of the early Iron Mike as he leapt and shifted onto the world stage.
In our latest Black Box Historical Combat Instructional Volume, we dig deep into the hows and whys of this devasting addition to anyone’s striking vocabulary.
Among the fun covered…
