"PHILLY SHELL" BOXING / THE HISTORY : STYLE and NAME.

For INFO on upcoming projects: [e-mail]
In this video I share the ORIGIN of both the PHILLY SHELL fighting style as well as the name. I trace the style of the "PHILLY SHELL" back to the GYM "RAT", those guys who would walk into gyms and spar with world champions and beat up on many of them. I point out that the style itself DID NOT originate from PROFESSIONAL BOXERS, rather than from GYM FIGHTERS who had little to no desire to BOX PROFESSIONALLY. I also trace the name "PHILLY SHELL" back to "SWEET" GEORGE BENTON. Benton was the true master of the style and does not get enough credit for being such.
Enjoy, S
