Scorning all treacherous feud and deadly strife,
The dark stilletto and the murderous knife,
We boast a science sprung from manly pride,
Linked with true courage and with health allied
A noble pastime void of vain pretense,
The fine old English art of self-defense."
-Jem Burn, English 1820's bare knuckle boxer
