@@TheUmmahFightCamp Very interesting! Love learning the original philly shell defense! 👍

[@RedRobin714]

Tom Yankello has been teaching the philly shell for years. He even put the cross guard in the system.

[@californiacombativesclub202]

Hell yessssssss

[@PoeticTentacion]

Woow That's exactly how George Benton used the philly shell, feet in L Position, moving foward and crounched a bit to the right!! You're right on!!! You're a true teacher!!

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

XxDmi3xX: Thank you sir!

[@garybargwanna1516]

Sir, As Sayf has mentioned in other videos the Philly shell was used by some of the most aggressive fighters of all times one being the recently departed Jake Lamotta. Worth watching some of Lamotta's fights to see an aggressive use of the Philly shell.There are many old school fighters who used this style other that the great George Benton!

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Gary Bargwanna: Hey Dude, you are my dude, but Jake Is not the best exmaple of a "philly shell" fighter lol. Using it DOES require a better defense than Jake. Just holding your hands low does not cut it. Benton had the classic Philly shell style, and I would have to name him the inventor of what we call it today in total. Past guys who came close that are none black would be Tony Canzoneri, Jimmy Mclarnin, Benny leonard. They had style and defense.

[@garybargwanna1516]

Nice of you to take the time to respond to my post. Yes you are right Jake isn't the best example of the Philly Shell but when he was under pressure he used elements of the Philly Shell as a defence. What I was alluding to was that the stance or slight variations you were demonstrating has been used by some aggressive fighters. George Benton at his best was an intelligent go forward fighter and was brilliant fighting in the "pocket". Be prepared my friend for more debates about old time fighters when I visit you . I will pay for the coffee you buy the cake,

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Gary Bargwanna: NP lol, but be prepared to also let some favoritism go in the face of facts :). Rocky also used the bladed position when he first started a round. That said, every one knows when I refer to the Philly shell, I am referring to a manner of Offense yes, but a manner of defense. If we include the Michigan manner, we have Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, and George Benton. Love him or not, Jake Lamotta defensively can never make that group. Hagler is my favorite fighter of all time, but he lost the fight to Ray Leonard. Gotta keep that heart at bay dude. just the facts man. Just the facts.

[@kevinkong6653]

A good boxer In this stance dose not wait for his opponents to throw he provokes them to throw, like you said by creeping foward. Great video bro

[@Blacksheepinblack]

What a wonderful discovery. Thank you for sharing this.

[@alirezat9218]

I realy need a coach like you...you are the best💜

[@metalphobos3632]

This was fantastic. You seem like a great teacher. The way you move is straight up bad ass.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Drummers Eve: A "bad ass", heck man, Being called that at 56 is great. Sort of like telling a person that thinks they are fat, "You had to have lost weight!" lol. Thanks man.

[@AntiquatedApe]

I really love these in-depth videos on the science and philosophy behind fighting styles. thank you

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Mister Jatip: Thanks dude!

[@robertbehringer4787]

Enormous informative and besides a tight look of the old school backyard jail boxing.. Besides, where 52 blocks takes his momnumentum, I guess. Great coach, very very insightful.. Thx a lot man..

[@michaelellis3985]

Brother Carman excellent Self-Defense wisdom being shared here.

[@Kalydosos]

Excellent tutorial I'm watching George Benton again straight after this video get some inspiration, the stance reminds me of some British Martial Arts point competitions where the competitors stand similar legs slightly wider. Lean over to the right a little not as much as in boxing. They raise the should high and dip the head with the hands set very similar to Sayf the L shape was easier for them to throw kicks lead leg kicks from I've seen people like Alfie Lewis from Liverpool, Chris Williams from Manchester, and Pele Reed from Birmingham use it.

[@lsporter88]

Very clear and thorough instruction.

[@kevlark3184]

The way philly shell is described here sounds very much like David Tua's style. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

kevlar k: LOL 9 years I have been on KZbin and YOU are the only one who mentioned DAVID TUA!!!!! Not only are you NOT wrong, but you go to the head of the class! YOU know your freakin boxing dude! Wow! I am a fan of YOURS lol

[@williewidener7170]

Great explanation. Very misunderstood stance. I fight from the position you demonstrated. It is an aggressive style in a sneaky kind of way. Thank you from Cameron Street Boxing Club, Harrisburg, PA.

[@georgerick]

Thank you, great knowledge shared! Also don't forget how Bernard Hopkins moved his head off line, great defensive fighter. Upload more videos, nice work!

[@fulldraw1980]

Loved the video and always enjoy the knowledge you pass on to us all

[@professor-wright]

Thank you for re opening the original elements of philly shell.

[@Coffeeanddonuts]

I'm the only guy who clicked like on the video which says it is 6 yrs old. I think this Karate teacher is very good.

[@MicrophoneImpact]

السلام عليكم Very instructive video bro! I want to learn how to use the Philly Shell for boxing cause it's also a really good technique when you use kicks in other fighting sports. I noticed that the two foot positions you showed are almost exactly the same in martial arts : the first one with the bodyweight on the rear leg for defense and the second one with the weight on the lead for attacking

[@tahseti1113]

This man has my respect! I subbed immediately.

[@TheVictorsCircle]

Fantastic Learnings as always!

[@jonnathanjimenez3867]

thanks for sharing the knowleage

[@tmoneyofficial1]

very insightful good to learn things from the teachers who know the game

[@sirgigolo]

Exactly the way I was taught except when I move in, I use peek-a-boo head movement to get inside.

[@mikhailpivarovich3434]

James Toneys Style my fav boxer of all time

[@Marouder]

Fantastic, great insights..

[@SuperHorsecow]

Excellent video

[@Cheez3Wagen]

Very informative sir, I will use this in my training😊

[@erikbakker1639]

This is good! Very well explained.

[@miketurley3296]

Excellent

[@ColGales]

Bob foster was perfect at this

[@ddavis7338]

Mannnn this is confirmation like I can't even explain, I'd spar guys more experienced and try the textbook stance and struggle... Then I'd fall into this stance naturally and dominate guys easy more experienced with shuffles, pivots, the off center head Bob , rear hand elbow makes em gun shy cuz they punch that sharp elbow and then I can be aggressive and am more confident countering and pressing the action. In the textbook stance I feel awkward, but when I get into that George Benton sort of stance I just flow man I need this program

[@Frankoignatius]

Thanks sayf that one tip made so much more offensive. I fight primarily out of the shell but that T shape made all the difference in raising my punch output.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Franklin Ezebuenyi: Its "me" job :) Glad it helped.

[@bigartone1]

We learned how to shell from slap boxing in Philly.

[@graciousplenty3727]

I think James Toney used the philly shell best

[@lonewolf7136]

💯I seen like 2 Philly shells this I like that's more comfy to me ima practice that at home then the gym

[@bigbrotherinlife1654]

Like James Toney as well, great video my brother. Can Southpaws fight from this stance?

[@andreasoloansihotang122]

R u kidding me? Southpaw boxers are demigods..

[@donlaw71]

Thank you !!!!!!

[@crypttorque681]

I've noticed when I use this position my opponent is very reluctant to throw a left hook.

[@elenchus]

very interesting

[@thedynamiteteamproductions4081]

Can i use this was the pendulum step footwork

[@marcoarana2773]

What is the difference between the philly shell and the hit man stance used by Hearns?

[@scottbacci8933]

Great video. Adrien broner fought this style vs malignaggi.

[@Menyhard]

Thank you sir

[@saintzig]

Did the name of the channel change? I cant seem to find the Orginal Philly Shell Channel

[@MrKeepnit100]

Brother Peace be upon you from An Israelite

[@ishthefish9006]

Fuck you Corny ass Israelites

[@ciphbudd7102]

Looks like J. Hurd

[@MjahedTV]

could you do a video about the orginal philly shell in the way joe frazier used it compared to the peekaboo style that mike tyson used with regards to slipping and bobbing and weaving?

[@bxgaucho4762]

Jewels!

[@AJxxxxxxxx]

watch George bentons fights

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

NOXISUM: LOL! YOU watch Benton fights! I am 57 years old! I SAW Benton show his position.

[@AJxxxxxxxx]

TheUmmahFightCamp im only 26 but what I meant was I seen youtube videos of his fights and I thought he did a good job using the Philly shell defence to stand his ground

[@k_sr20]

Is the Philli shell applicable as a southpaw? I notice how the lean keeps the right hand further; how is this posture best used as a southpaw?

[@dalehusbanduk]

Course it is man just swap sides

[@Balanceiaga]

Leaning on my backfoot in the philly shell seems to neutralize my jab.. Normally I boxed from the outside with quick jabs, but in this stance it is too slow.. I believe this is the ultimate stance but how do I solve this problem?

[@paulodepablo3649]

Jay Williams distrubute the weight from back to front. Watch how floyd mayweather moves. His jabs arent there for knocking out his opponents but to gauge the distance and trick them into coming in so that you can dish out a swift counter with your main arm. Alternatively, you can move in while jabbing. It isnt going to be good looking but if you want power then that may help you out. Other wise, try leaning into your jab, a sway in to generate a bit more power.

[@TheNerdiestKids]

Bravo.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Nerdiest Kids: Thanks Dude!

[@kashifbenshamim8445]

Jazakallah

[@lonewolf7136]

So that means you have to jab upwards

[@BluesRockRo]

can you fight the philly shell with the philly shell?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

BluesRockRo: Sure. Let the best man win. :)

[@illkid86]

BluesRockRo zab Judah used a version of the Philly shell esp when he fought Floyd and like Floyd zab is a counter puncher

[@KingDumas]

Andre Lewis Zab Used Philly Shell AND some 52 blocks

[@andrewbarrett2576]

Did Roy Jones fight out of this stance ? Also do you think this would work in MMA ?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Andrew Barrett: The style has to be modified a bit, because the hips have to be square to sprawl from take downs. It can be used though.

[@TheMOTIV8Xperience]

Look up "Bobby King" on here... he's an MMA fighter in the UFC and there's a video of him utilizing it. Yes, it can be used... but much like in Boxing; it isn't for everybody!

[@elegba]

[@christrucker4882]

[@trumpetperson11]

Dang, I thought EDP445's accent was completely fake, but I guess thats actually legit for philly.

[@timspoon6756]

Sorry I don't mean no disrespect but this is not the Philly shell or type defense I commented on a couple of the boxers that was doing the Phillies show I hope they don't be disappointed I just don't want no one to get hurt sorry if I offend you

[@user-zg4ww2cx4p]

Add more video

[@regcatdog]
