Charlemont method

Also known as

Academic French boxing · Charlemont style

Description

The academic form of French boxing codified by Joseph Charlemont from his training with Louis Vigneron and the methods of the Lecour brothers, which he refined with his own observations. He published his first treatise in the late 1870s and taught it at his Académie de boxe in Paris; his son Charles and pupils such as Victor Castérès carried it on. Green and Svinth say the Charlemont camp kept French boxing academic rather than a competitive sport.

“Thus, French Boxing declined during the 1910s, and during the period between the two World Wars (1919–1939), it almost disappeared; only a few isolated gyms promulgated Charlemont’s practice.”
