It’s a 95% mental game. “Get the man down no matter what,” you must constantly think. Don’t allow anything come in the way of you bringing him down.
Always keep an eye on the guy you’re tackling’s hips. The head, shoulders, and legs may all deceive and deceive you, but the hips can never deceive you.
Your core, hips, and legs provide the basis for your strength. If you’re outrun and have to dive, don’t tackle with only your arms.
To tackle, go for the waist of your opponent and burst with your hips. Wrap your arms around your opponent’s waist, forcefully planting your shoulder in their torso. Keep your wits about you. Keep your legs moving at all times to drive them to the ground. It is critical to maintain momentum.
Keep safety in mind at all times. Always avoid aiming at the head.
You’re a gentleman, to say the least. After you’ve thrown him to the ground, give him a helping hand.
