It's funny how Americans don't know their own game:

"As a general rule blocking is a push; one is not allowed to grasp someone or do any sort of pulling, otherwise a holding penalty will be levied."

The guy on the video probably didn't word it very well, but he does explain he didn't grasp or pull, so he is actually right.

Wait...what?

Blocking with your arms folded just increases your risk of injury, you need to open your hands and push on the opponents chest pads to drive him on running plays and hold on pass plays.

A lot of college teams use girl punters since they usually have more strength in their legs.

you only get holding call if you....oh wait this comment is four months old nevermind.
