Good basic knowledge
I am a 66 year old retired Law Enforcement Officer and Self-Defense Instructor. That said not too much in this dvd was new to me, however the techniques shown and taught in this dvd are in my opinion not being taught anymore in the majority of self-defense classes and/or martial arts dojos. That's too bad as all of this is solid information and if practiced consistently and diligently with an able training partner this dvd can give you the tools to defend yourself with great effectiveness.

Best Video on the Topic
Online channels have proliferated to cover the topic of bare-knuckle boxing. Buy this DVD and read the voluminous source material reprinted and available on Amazon and elsewhere. PDFs also exist online.Carl Cestari, a Judo expert, boxing practitioner, and close-combat specialist, studied Western martial arts prior to the more recent revival. Among these, he revived bare knuckle techniques for his students.Cestari's DVD covers basic and advanced blows, along with the now-forgotten techniques that either would be illegal under modern rules or ceased to work with the advent of bigger gloves. He offers solid body mechanics behind some practical and fist-friendly blows that, with some training and basic fist conditioning, could level offenders if needed. (And they work quite nicely in martial arts sparring with lighter gloves.)Go straight to the classics: Col. Monster's "Self-Defense for Gentlemen and Ladies," Billy Edwards' "Art of Boxing and Manual of Training" (1888), "The Complete Handbook of Boxing and Wrestling" (1878), Edmund Price's "Science of Self-Defense" (1867), R.G. Allanson-Winn's "Boxing" (1897), and James Edward Sullivan's "Boxing" (1893). Cestari referenced the final book in his "Fairbairn Seminar" DVD, and the book sources numerous swings and chops that look more Southern kung fu than the boxing we're familiar with.The only letdown is that Cestari, with his Judo and other grappling expertise, doesn't explore the role of the clinch, "chancery," and the upper body throws that further separate old-style boxing from its modern counterparts. However, it does help to see the blows in action, outside of the static line drawings and photographs in the other books I referenced.
