  • Looks like a great book. Where can I get a copy of this? BTW, anyone interested in another book on boxing check out Joyce Carol Oates novel "On Boxing".

  • LOVE. This is SO Great! Thank you! !!! BTW, I'm a former psychotherpist (also 55 yo, Jewish) and an award winning women's self defense expert, best known for my PRIMAL methods and no-nosense messages. My beloved trade name is Dr. Ruthless. If you're on FB, please come visit me; love to interact... (Ordering your book now!)

  • AN AWESOME VIDEO for an awesome book. I own and have read BLOWS TO THE HEAD and I can say it is an easy read and facinating story. Binnie describes the hidden Jewish heritage through boxing and her own babtism into the squared circle. Anyone remotely interested in boxing as a sport or fitness activity, or the Jewish link to the sport, will be enlightened and entertained by it. After I read it, I just had to go and hit the speed bag!

  • Just a great video Binnie--exceedingly well done. Scott's choice of music, the photography, the visuals--all just terrific. This book will lead to great things (greater things!) and it's next on my reading list. Every writer should look at your example when it comes to tasteful and interesting self promotion--it's an inspiration to lazy bums like me :)

  • Fantastic video, Binnie! Great images, great music!
