Hey everyone! Today we are looking at the PHILLY SHELL! (Aka Philadelphia Shell)

We BRIEFLY go over HOW to use it, and WHY you use it! It's all about that SHOULDER ROLL!

It's used by some of the GREATS in boxing: Floyd Mayweather, Canelo Alvarez, Arturo Gatti, Bernard Hopkins, you name it!

BUT! Will it work in striking sports or environments that allow things like KICKS, KNEES and further Clinches?? Kickboxing, Muay Thai, or Mixed Martial arts has completely different rules. Question is, will the Philly Shell still work? This is just my take and experience!

I hope you enjoy, if so please leave a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!!

As always, comment below what reaction video I should do next OR any other breakdowns you would like to see!

"We can go back even further, many great boxers used a form of the shoulder roll including two friends who would become the best in the world, Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis. Louis was trained by a former boxer named Jack Blackburn, Blackburn trained Louis in the style of himself, Sam Langford and Joe Gans. They all used a form of the shoulder roll. An interesting note is that Joe Louis learnt his boxing in Detroit, Michigan, Sugar Ray Robinson also spent some of his childhood in Detroit. Also present at the boxing club as a young amateur fighter was future hall of fame trainer Eddie Futch."
