Fadingpain Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 There are all kinds of things to be learned by football players from experts in other disciplines. I have often wondered why offensive linemen don't get a little crash course in sumo wrestling in training camp. The things OL need to do all the time are what Sumo is all about.

TheElectricCompany Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Sounds like the same guy that Jauron brought on years ago.
thenorthremembers Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Didn't the Bills do a very similar thing a few years back? I vaguely remember someone from this discipline coming into training camp to work on hand to hand combat in the hopes it would improve the Defensive Lineman's hand speed and strength.

Cause you have to hold on to your opponent to make that work..... besides seeing the O line in depends would kill my love of the sport.

I'm pretty sure they had someone back in the Superbowl days. I want to say it was a guy from a place near the corner of South Abbott and Armor Duells.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 I've always though Sumo wrestlers could make good O-linemen. Not the big fat guys. Sumo actually comes in weight classes, but the technique is the same.

John from Riverside Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Tae Kwon Do is not the instructor you want you want teaching hand technique if your looking for a martial arts instructor. Akido would be better

Insofar as I remember, OJ Simpson took ballet when he was playing for the Bills to help his balance. He was such a natural athletic talent I'm not sure he really needed it. 2 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Tae Kwon Do is not the instructor you want you want teaching hand technique if your looking for a martial arts instructor. Akido would be better Was going to mention Aikido....it's all about balance and energy transfer, using your opponent's own energy against him to guide him where you want him to go. Again, very useful stuff (perhaps) for an OL in pass blocking mode.
