Written by a WBC-certified emergency and ringside physician, it has become a modern reference for understanding, treating and preventing the injuries that arise in martial and sporting contexts — from the clinical side of the ropes and from the mat.

• For clinicians, coaches and practitioners alike
• By a World Boxing Council–certified ringside physician
