"so I can get your feet in there" THANK YOU! Finally a Combat Sports RU-vid camera man with a brain lol

Tim great break down, seems like a lot of fighter's today forgot the art of "hit but don't get hit" and the " Philly Shell " is a great way to accomplish that goal ! You and Smokin Joe had different versions but equally effective! Thanks for another great lesson my grandson is learning a lot !

Who better to learn from then a great champ🥊👍🏻

this is the best explanation of the Philly shell

Thats the one of the 1st thing the Coach back in day said STAY IN YO SHELL....

Boy your power had that boy scared when you slap them mitts on him how ever you made the Philly shell easy to understand and learn

Heavy weight boxing wouldn’t be the what it is without Terrible Tim Witherspoon. You did your thing in the hardest era of heavy weight boxing history. It is an honour to subscribe to your channel as your knowledge and wisdom is invaluable and will be much appreciated forever, thank you brother Tim!, much love!, A true legend!!! ❤️❤️

Tim Witherspoon…. Wow…What a delight to find you on RU-vid. You still rocking the mean streets of Kingston Upon Thames? Respect ✊ 🥊

Thanks for this vitally important info for beginners like me.. thanks champ 🏆🥇

That is so good... the kid looks like a fresher yet you got him to do a very nice technique... great coach!!

This content proves nothing is new except what is forgotten. Thanks champ 🥊

AWESOME, THIS IS THE MOST USEFULL VIDEO ABOUT BOXING DEFENSE I'VE EVER SEEN. THANKS A LOT COACH!

Tim Whiterspoon's course on his legendary defense? It is a dream come true after spending so much time imitating it back in the day after watching those hw bouts.

Tim Witherspoon . Real boxing fans no you You rocked Larry Holmes Holmes and you had a great career . Very well explained bro !

Man Tim, where were you when I needed you? Great teaching video!!! Bill "Superfoot" Wallace used the "Shell" and his left hand and left leg to go Undefeated in his Pro Kickboxing Career. This defensive position and technique works GREAT for a Kickboxer and I used it a LOT! Thanks for this very effective technique.

Tim is such a excellent coach. Great breakdown on the philly shell and foot work telling champ to get the right foot over more.. Mr witherspoon you definitely a legend and it always shows.. thank you for a excellent channel.. from Jay mosely dallas tx 1 luv

Great details. This channel is going to blow up once the word gets out. One small thing I noticed that may help Roy is to hold a tennis ball to his lower throat/upper chest with his chin and that will help to tuck the chin. Also to have him stand with his back against a wall and just practice blocking head shots to get in the habit of not turning his head away from punches and exposing the side of his face/chin and back of his head. One of the hardest natural reactions to break is to not turn away from punches. Everybody does it in the beginning. You are a master Mr. Witherspoon and I loved watching you fight growing up. Please keep sharing your knowledge. I wish I was 25 years younger and had access to your teachings.

My man 💥... a valuable channel to subscribe to!

Shout out from Harrisburg, PA, Cameron Street Boxing Club.

Remember when Terrible Tim fought Larry Holmes , Fantastic boxer, great skills.Great to see him looking well with his intelligence intact. Reckon he'd make a great coach becase he's got the knowledge and gives genuine and positive vibes.Got a lot of fans in the UK .

Appreaciate it champ .

Awesome tutorial Champ, clear, precise, and to the point :)

Champion level know-how…someone give this man more subs

Tim is a GREAT coach & a GREAT person - I love his positive vibe!

This is one of the best and most intuitive RU-vid videos on the low left lead guard. Thanks champ for sharing your wisdom and posting such great content.

Appreciate the vigor and enthusiasm, friend. Love some content focusing on defense!!!

Legend!!!!

I watch this over and over. Such a masterclass.

Thank you Champ, We appreciate the authentic instruction - Roy all the best on your boxing future

GOOD SHIT I NEED TO BRUSH UP ON MY PHILLY SHELL

I notice when top lvl guys use the Cross Guard like Archie Moore, You, Max Baer, George Foreman, Marciano, Frazier, it really seems to help them keep control of the center of the ring and make the other guy have to move or come closer to you. I got in trouble during my 1st Amateur sparring expo for using it when smaller Heavyweights jumped on me and the ref said it was pushing.

Thank you Champ. Can see how much you love the art and coaching.

I think this is better than most popular channels because it covers the progression and potential mistakes instead of just showing off they know moves real quick to sell views 👍👍👍

So much privileged to learn from my legendary friend TIM

Great to see you champ!

I'm lucky asl I stumbled onto you from another video. I fight this way but this is suppper informative

Excellent coaching by an excellent boxer... Tim Witherspoon... You will always be remembered as a great boxer. UK 🇬🇧 Boxer

What a blessing to be coached by Tim. A combination of knowledge and kindness. Tim knows the old school techniques

Another great lesson champ. Thanks for giving back to these young ones. Hope to see one of your kids make it to the pro ranks one day

Gold, appreciate you sharing your knowledge Champ

Champ looks great, he was in his 60s for this. Amazing Coaching job, the excitement the praise, checking on how they feel, the reinforcement, this is how it is done.

Thanks a lot for explaining and showing the basic mechanics of the philly shell. First video I saw that explains it step by step so clearly.

Wow the video we have all been waiting for! Thank you for continuously giving us the game, Tim & the crew!

Great job coach

Awesome! Thanks much. Too much boxing knowledge is being lost, so this is a great resource.

Yessir 💪🏾 Putting in work Blessings To You And Your Family Champ 🏆🙏

I'm from Brazil and you taught me better than my teacher, thank you very much 🥊

This is so cool. I wish I could've learned all this cool stuff when I was younger.

Great instructions from the champ. Great personality and coaching. Roy is raw clay with potential he was at my gym a few times good kid with a nasty right hand. Now He’s under great tutelage. 👍🏾

You can really be confident and expressive when you know what you're doing

Broke it down to a precise science

Nice one Tim, you kept it real Sir!

Thank you for anther very instructional video. Love it. Learning a lot. Keep it coming champ 🙇🏻🙇🏻

Keep it coming! Love the content

This was a great tutorial! The explanation was one of the best so far I’ve seen, I’m able to execute on.

Thanks!

greeting from Argentina ! I use this defense ! thank you for you videos

I love it!

Tim the great with the Philly shell/Cross guard

Could you show some more videos on how to practice the philly shell? That drill you showed where you throw 6 punches and the boxer blocks them is really nice. What als do you do/recommend on how to practice this defence? Thank you

I found a gold mine with this channel!

Wow you seem like a great Coach, would put a lot of ppl at ease.

I wish more box trailers was like u I feel like Philly Shell is most fun style fight in. We neeeed this in europe!

Could you do a video on head movement and parrying?

Great video champ! I hope there's a part two where u go over when to keep ur lead hand down and when to bring it up!

I hope to get into the boxing gym some day. Self-Defense is good. Good videos coach!

Good luck Roy - stick in.

Lovely coach

Had to learn the Philly shell the hard way but I got the hang of it eventually. Still there’s always work to do.

11:55 that biting of the wrist with the forearms is a cruel technique when followed up by a hook, like the champ stated. Jail House Rock (52 blocks, stato, etc.) uses that too because prison fight has no rules. Nice video!

Thanks bro, cool channel! yea first time someone put it your way.... "It's a Shell..." I like using the Philly Shell in sparing, and I found that it's very natural to shift into 52 Blocks from it, which is exactly what you showed... Well Done. May d Force b With U

Bro teaching the PUREST Philly Shell mechanics i ever seen 🔥

This guy should be training pros, AJ could do with Tim's help.

Love the way he teaches

Definitely has a new subscriber in me great video coach

Wow havent seen TW in years. Thrilled he looks healthy and is training fighters.

Great, thanks

One of the most important part of the philly shell is keeping your chin tucked in the POCKET between your shoulders, super safe on the side once you master that

Masterclass!

Tim’s awesome

Binge watching Tim Witherspoon videos on this defense

My shell is much more bladed, think mayweather jr. I’ve never seen a shell this squared, but like Tim said, your shell is whatever works for you. I feel standing square puts you both off balance, and makes you a larger target. Standing bladed forces the opponent to commit more for the body shot, which can be quickly countered by the loaded arm.

That's one interesting aspect of boxing a bunch of "old-school" boxing wasn't written down. Boxing hasn't evolved it's been lost to time in some ways.

Legendary

I always mention you to the young lads I train. I tell how good you we at blocking the jab.

Hey champ do you have personalised content on your patreon channel like other courses or more advanced courses?

Nice 👍

Champ I think you will enjoy seeing me flow through all kinds of blocks and deflections in my 52 and mma sparring vids.

I didn’t realize terrible Tim was such a cool dude

6:01 JAJAJajjajajaj how pround he was just look at his face jajaj lol

The best coach 🥊👌🏻

Great video Champ!

Coach could youndo a video on how to read an opponents footwork and timing a counter?

OG said purpose 1st 💯
