There is a cheap and nasty way of dodint it:

Hang a boxing bag by a rope from a Tree or over the Cross bar of your posts. YOU can create the dynamic, or the movement by causing the tackler to move. use coenes or Heavy bag to create paths ann turns that the tackler has to traverse before the tackle.

Thats the point. Start from low, but hit high STAY on your Feet. There was a Tackle in the Lions-Western PRovince Games yesterday art about 70 minutes. Linon number 8 is falsely penalised for tackling liek Iron Rugby. It is a very good idication of the result if you tackle like this.

Please read the comments, before launching into this for teh umpteenth time.

Walk it through with a mate of yours - take the tackle to the logical conclusion. With our tackle you land on top, with the old school syle you land on the bottom, and lose the gain line.

The issue with Old school is shoulder injuries, your arm loses aginst his leg.

Over 10 years I coached 1000 players like this - noone hurt their necks.

just seems like an extravogant waste of time to me. u can only really learn to tackle by tackling a person.

[philipdc]

Use a boxing bag, hung over the goalpost cross bar.

Tackling the NFL is a science. The rest is just jolly hockeysticks and whose round is it anyway?

Do it how ever you like, the best tacklers I ever taught learned it. We do have lots of drills on using people, but ussually you need both.

Thats such a shit machine - try getting a friend and one of you wearing some protection - this dudes technique is poor too. bad posture, bad feet movement and gets his head the wrong side most times!

[LondonSpaz]

lol just because you are a coach does not mean you are right, good players don't need to get their head in the other team's way, they have strength

[chames102]

mate ur gona get bumped off like dat...

[ktmrider2216]

Shit machine and ur head is on the wrong side of the tackle, ur gonna break ur neck

[bremner3]

without doubt the stupidest thing ive ever seen, the whole point of a tackle is ground contact. utterly pointless, suitable for grid iron at a push

[HIShardenup]

Head's in the wrong position when its coming from the side. you'll be copping the attackers full weight on your it haha

[fatsoblitz]

he is tackling way to hih and he is putting his head in front of the "tacklee" if he was tackling a real guy he would get a knee to the kneck or head

[pumasxv]

Se va a romper el cuello, cuando tacklea de costado lo hace con el cuello en vez de cruzarle todo el cuerpo.

[bremner3]

think you're completely missing the point about teaching aspects of the tackle, i'm not even going to go into bad posture etc, the while point of a tackle is ground contact. this machine in no way allows dynamism in tackling technique, never mind allowing ground contact. poor poor idea

[shaneybaby123]

Have fun getting a knee in the face tackling like that...

[Rsoxfan23]

Not gona lie, this guy does have bad posture. However In rugby you want to tackle with your head behind otherwise you get a bunch of knees to the face.

[nnnuuuiii]

utterly useless, teaching nothing all your going is grabbing a bag, your just hitting it and running, not only is it giving you a bad posture throughout the tackle, your head is on the wrong side - broken neck anyone! and your not even setting the bag down, totally pointless!!
