    Just found it on my hard drive. 182 pages and some pretty nice illustrations, including a throw and a waist lock for clinches. It would take a while to upload. Anybody interested?

    Customs have a habit of sifting through my stuff (the amount of dvds I get in the mail I think they're convinced I'm the ringleader of some pedo group or something).

    Okay, first thing's first...

    I promised GPater that I'd upload Dempsey's Championship Fighting as well.

    Chapters 1-6 are here:

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7P7RRK68

    The rest is coming up. Anybody else who's interested, feel free to download this one as well.

    The Art of Manual Defense, by "A Pupil of Mendoza and Humphries" (also listed as "An Amateur") in 1789. There are a couple manuals from before this period, but they aren't really illustrated and are of comparatively poor quality. Even Mendoza's doesn't really have illustrations.
