Lead with your shoulder, driving it into their thigh or stomach. Keep your head up, tucking it along the butt of the attacker. Position your hands over your right foot, and draw it back as you spring towards the attacker. This should result in you landing a smooth and streamlined tackle. Stand with the ball against your chest, feet side-and slightly shoulder width apart and your arms at your sides. Lean in close, as if you were about to touch. Your legs should be extended forward to spring out and protect your head. Use your biceps to deliver a powerful kick on the attacker, arms shoulder-to-shoulder.
