Tamba Hali is a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He weighs in at 275 pounds; here he is smashing some poor QB:
Here's an interesting video of him training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
Couple of interesting things to note: Tamba weighs at least 75 pounds more than his instructor, and he learns an insane amount in 1 week.
Tamba Hali is veerry fast for a big guy, I've always wondered during grappling sparring if guys get nervous about people being slow at recognizing the tap out signal...
ReplyDeleteTapping becomes very frantic...
ReplyDeleteI must note that in the video, most of what Hali is transferring is speed... into momentum... into that quarterback's spine.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he even felt a shred of concern after he laid that guy out?
ReplyDeleteAh, the guy was still moving...
ReplyDeleteIt didn't look like Hali even felt it when he ran into him. He's a pretty compact 275# at 6'3", I was surprised at how normal-sized he appeared in the Gracie video.
Steel for bones?
ReplyDeleteAnd that was with pads, check out this rugby highlight for some insane tackles without pads.
