Western boxing and archery are ancient survival skills used by primitive people to
strengthen their bodies and survive in harsh environments. Before bows and arrows were
invented, humans had to defend themselves with fists. This is the earliest prototype. It was
first seen in historical records in Egypt in the 4th century BC. Boxing was practiced in
ancient Greece and Rome. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, boxing disappeared.(引文)
