Boxing (Classic Style)

This is the style of professional boxing with faster, longer jabs and punches, relying on reach and footwork to get out of the way of the opponent’s incoming blows. While punching another person in the face has been around since the dawn of time, this style of combat is based on 18th century rules of combat. This would include opponents fighting upright, not purposely hitting below the belt, and no biting a person’s ear off (usually). Dornálaíocht, an Irish style of boxing, is close to the Classic style of boxing, while bare-knuckled boxing relies more on blocks than dodges.
