Re: Football and Aikido... anyone do both?

At my dojo's annual seminar Randy White showed up and talked to us on how his traning in the martial arts helped him get around much larger offensive linemen. He said it made a huge difference since he always was playing against larger guys. He always wondered why the offensive guys never picked up some of this stuff. He figured they were content to be good, and not "The Best". So the gist of his message was Martial Arts = Good for football, but that coaches and trainers are intimidated by something they don't know. That is why it isn't encouraged that much by the coaches.
