The martial arts answer:
- go in for the tackle, anticipate a DA, and either catch the player's arm and bring it down OR dodge the outstretch arm by side-stepping and then tackle again, not allowing the player to do another DA!
The footballer's answer:
- go in the tackle low and target the waist/lower trunk, head-first just to the side of the player. The DA would then likely to hit the tackler's head and shoulders which would result in a free against the DA, or if the DA misses, the player would then be tackled
An attempt to be funny, answer:
- a tackler acting as a decoy from the front, and another tackler entering from behind. The DA can only fend off one opponent from the front, and before he knows it, BANG! A DA sandwich! HTB!!
