http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lao69rFaW9w[/quote]ya know what? i think that is awesome! one of my teachers played as a linebacker for the atlanta falcons for about 6 years. he is a large, powerful and well trained athlete. a few times when we did push hands practice he charged me i guess like a lineman would (he said he thought it would help me since very few people i come in contact with are that big and strong) i learned a lot about getting out of the way! it is a bit scary having a linebacker try to plow you down.
he told me that he does not think he would have made it that many years in the nfl without his ma training ...
