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.

 

 

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.

 

 

I picked up my belt when was in the military in Chung do Kwan while I was in the military.....

 

That is not a hand fighting martial art

 

The ability to use a opponents leverage against them would suit O and D line much better

Judo would probably be better for this.

 

Kim's not just a tae-kwon-do guy.  He's also into MMA and very knowledgeable about football.

 

Here's his bio when he was an assistant S&C coach with the Brownies...

 

Joe Kim enters the first season of his third stint with the Browns. Overall, 2016 marks his seventh season with Cleveland, where he serves as a strength and conditioning assistant/skills development. Kim originally got his start in the NFL with the Browns in 1992, where he was on staff as an assistant strength and conditioning coach/pass rush specialist through the 1995 season. He returned to the Browns from 1999-2000.

 

Kim returns to Cleveland after spending the 2015 season with the Washington Redskins and the 2014 season with the Chicago Bears in the same capacity.

 

Prior to his time in Chicago, Kim served as a pass rush consultant with the Kansas City Chiefs (2010-12), New York Giants (2010), Buffalo Bills (2009), Penn State (2009), Denver Broncos (2007), Miami Dolphins (2001-04, 06), Green Bay Packers (2005) and Dallas Cowboys (1998).

 

In addition to strength and conditioning, Kim brings a wealth of martial arts knowledge and experience with him as a seventh Dan Black Belt recognized by Kukkiwon, USA Taekwondo and the World Taekwondo Federation. He has produced more than 250 black belts and numerous national and international champions. In 1990, Kim earned bronze medals at the Pan Am Games and World Cup as a member of the U.S. National Taekwondo team. He is also a two-time U.S. Olympic Festival gold medalist and national champion.

 

A native of Lakewood, Ohio, Kim attended St. Edward High School. He and his wife, Jeana, have two daughters, Katie and Lexi.

I'm not sure why the Pats hiring him is news worthy.  He's worked with 8 NFL teams previously and has been around the NFL since 1998.

on a side note Lynn Swann was noted to practice ballet, and he was quite graceful on the field

Are you offering to teach players?

Sure, if you know a demonstration partner I'd love to!

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

 

 

Okinawa Karate or Good Kung fu.

Agree that Tae Kwon Do is worthless for hands as all they do is kick. A Korean derivative of Shotokan which was a Japanese derivative of Okinawa Karate.

Aikido is to soft for the NFL.

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.

 

 

Cyrus was years ahead of his time:

Kinda smart...being in the trenches is similar to hand to hand combat with the hand fighting that goes on...so anything you can do within the rules to gain an advantage is smart to look at...

 

I mean is he going to teach them to give them a shot to the solar plexus to knock the wind out of them and force their hands down?  Would that be legal?

I remember week one of the 2011 season showed some martial arts guy the Chiefs hired training players on the field prior to kickoff.

 

Buffalo laid a beat down, 41-7.

One of my buddies is good friends with Joe Kim so I’ve met him a few times and talked to him about football. He tried working with Maybin when he was drafted here. Said he was hopeless.   Tried to get him to do extra work after practice and maybin wouldn’t show up.

Maybin was too busy thinking about his book.
