The Philly shell feels so natural to me

[@muzzamilnadeem3104]

It feels natural to a lot of beginners but trust me the peekaboo is something you should master first. PhillyShell gets people in a very defensive position (where youre not thinking about countering) where a number of hook combinations can devastate you.

[@zitoschouten5068]

@@muzzamilnadeem3104 totally agree

[@Noone-ew2wk]

You need to learn all guards really.

[@californiacombativesclub202]

The philly shell hits natural when I’m tired

[@tantofirewater6707]

Dan Hemphill Same lol.

[@kickboxingunderground]

I must admit, I had no idea my chin should be tucked to the center instead of behind my shoulder. I have totally been doing this wrong. Really appreciate the refinement, man! You always help me become better.

[@sharif1136]

I didn't know myself I been tucking my chin towards my shoulder the whole time too

[@17thNO]

Right. Me neither.

[@Wonderwoody1]

same bro

[@Wonderwoody1]

same lol

[@burtybasset4486]

I found my body naturally adopted this style when I sparred. Awareness of the lead foot in relation to the opponents lead foot helps with this style to gauge distance and when attacked which way I needed to dip/roll/slip/move.

[@xcelentei]

I have no boxing experience, but I've been doing taekwondo for a decade. When I was an intermediate belt, my instructor told me that if I'm ever getting lit up by kicks during sparring, switch my stance to this. He never told me it was a boxing technique! Turns out a modified version is effective for deflecting consecutive kicks in WTF sparring, while giving a stance to counter with a roundhouse.

[@zammerack7203]

It all makes sense now. I did Muay Thai and was always told to keep my hands way up when dealing with legs so I can check kicks easier and not get my neck snapped by a nice roundhouse. I did fight against a TKD guy and he told me to change my stance because I'm leaving too much open. It worked against him but I tried it against a Muay Thai fighter and got kicked so hard in the neck I thought I was floating in space for a good minute.

[@xcelentei]

@@zammerack7203 Yeah, there's a big difference depending on what you're defending against. Consecutive kicks you'll see from "leg-fencers" are aiming for contact, but not destruction since we wear armor and don't want to KO anyone. You can't "parry" a committed murderstroke to the neck with your arms; there's just too much weight behind the kick.

[@Poleeze1]

I have 3rd degree ITF black belt and Philly Shell is my go to defense when I’m tired of running around. I did boxing for a year. It was intimidating because of the close proximity and kept getting lit up. It was all peek a boo at first but I couldn’t operate that way because I’m used to bladed stance. Then I went away for a week to research boxing stances. Fell in love with shoulder roll because I’m naturally sparring that way anyway. Went back to my coach that I want to learn only this defense for a month. Did it everyday. Went sparring with same guys, they got hell trying to score points. Then I started working on the counter punches from the position. Very weird. But counter kicks from the position was fine. Today I still use it in my TKD sparrings and competitions

[@udarue]

Even so little adjustment like tucking your chin right did so much effect in defence. Thank you!

[@jaywaup]

Just started with the Philly shell recently. I appreciate you adding more detail to what I got to learn from training.

[@georgealexandrescu5369]

I'm so grateful for I came upon this video man! This style comes so naturally to me and I am watching Mayweather all the time but I needed someone to break it down for me. Appreciate it!

[@LostSoulAscension]

Beautiful advice here, that point about working the rear side is such golden underrated information.

[@tenpercentfordabigguy8550]

The Philly shell for me is like riding a horse or sailing a boat Looks good from a distance but not something id risk my health doing

[@stephengreen1084]

That was funny!😂

[@crkst]

It sure does look good! But very spotty for sure!

[@swiftstreak98]

Depends on how you apply it

[@sharkdeepwater8]

@@swiftstreak98 Exactly, its the application. And the ability to to shoot your offense/counter out of it. That part is not easy.

[@retroliftsprs]

It's all about practice. The more you use it, the better you get. Just try it out when sparring with someone who doesn't go 100%.

another thing i learned from using this is having good headmovement allows more counter punches

[@engenheiromateus]

Great! Thank you so much👊👊👏👏👏👏

[@robotsoft]

Watching the video completely ... practicing ... thank you master !

[@The_Void_Staring_Back]

The Shell brings 2 main advantages, but also 2 disadvantages... What you gain is far better eyesight to see incoming punches, and you get to become almost immune to body shots because you get to wear your lead arm as armor across pretty much your entire body.... but you lose a lot a armor on the front side of your face with only a little shoulder to block with instead of a whole arm. You also lose positioning for a lot of counter shots with your lead hand.... it has strengths & weaknesses like any style.... its the fighter using the styles that make them... not the "styles" themselves...

[@babadraga3114]

The lead hand being lowered can oftentimes lead to people not worrying about it as much or nearly forgetting it altogether. Don’t underestimate the power of a good solid landing backfist!!!!

[@The_Void_Staring_Back]

@@babadraga3114 I only compete in Boxing so I don't really think about the backfist. Although I kinda wish we could throw them.

[@BalkanShipyards]

Great presentation, I watched this vid a bunch of times, then spent a couple days using it on my double ender, pounding hard and rolling as it came back at me... Then a sparring session came up, it was truly amazing how effective it is. I love changing stances, orthodox then south paw, now with the Philly Shell, I enjoy also playing with another type of guard... I found the Philly Shell to be safer, yet at moments harder to become explosive, still it was good enough to get the opponent confused and wondering about what just hit him.... Thanx! Keep up the good work, Balkan Shipyards

Amazing video! Every fighter should learn the philly shell, all the greatest defensive fighters of all time have defensive versatility! They clinch, they catch shots, they roll with shots, they use their feet, they move their head. Just as you should be unpredictable on the attack, you should be unpredictable on defence. Thank JT

[@mistermarcos5508]

You know boxing! Much respect 🥊

[@babadraga3114]

Philly Shell is the first stance I learned, it felt very natural to me! I loved it because it gave me easy access to a VERY deadly 6-12 elbow. Plus, the fact that I’m a southpaw makes the shell a hell of a defense against right hooks

[@clamchoder1386]

Ill drop u

[@haikovanderleeuw9945]

I'm a southpaw, How does the shell defebd against right hooks? Instead of deflecting them with your shoulder you're now catching them on your left glove?

[@babadraga3114]

@@haikovanderleeuw9945 you can either just block the hook like normal or use the shells small framing and sideways stance to duck the suspected hook.

The best defence

[@alvinelisukisa2971]

nice

[@kalives5774]

I think the shell works best when you in the corner & on the ropes. When using it in the center ring. The blocks & parries are cool. But you need to have quick/good footwork. Because the posture you're in with the shell kinda stiffens you up & if you don't have good footwork with it your shell will look alot like Adrien Broners. If you notice he stands flat footed in the shell posture. But since his footwork isn't good he gets stuck when combos coming at him & he start getting caught & welled on. Not to mention he not throwing only looking to counter. If you look at Floyd & James Toney they uses a loose shell but they know how to move they feet with it

Some people say you can't use philly shell against a southpaw. But as a southpaw using Philly shell, I find it so comfortable fighting against the orthodox. Any tips for Southpaw Phillies like me? Thanks so much.

[@dofostaine4514]

Perfect for those with glass chin. Vulnerable to overhands.

[@mikedropthegreat9134]

When i boxed as a hobbyist in highschool and in college, i never knew why but i defaulted to this stance as a tall guy. In a full sideways stance and liberal use of your bicycle to always be at the tip of your ranges, you could cover your head and body with your left while also disguising the body jab as a shoulder roll. Your right is also always cocked and ready to throw a power straight and you could defensively throw out right uppercuts into a standard guard leaving only a tiny opening and only on your terms.
