The Football Safety Academy would like to recognize ATAVUS for developing an Advanced Tackling System that makes football a “safer and better game” by developing techniques to minimize the head impact during tackling. As a football coach of almost 5 decades, I’v seen the concepts of tackling change for variety of reasons but not until now I haven’t seen a safer approach to tackling than the ATAVUS Tackling System. Judge for yourself: view a Great Free instructional video on “close angle tackling” at https://vimeo.com/175284985.

“Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, ATAVUS Football was launched in 2015 to provide a modern, impactful solution for coaches from collegiate, high school, and junior football programs to improve the efficiency and safety of the tackle.

Now combine the ATAVUS Tackling System with the “Hulk Shrug Technique” that utilizes a shoulder shrugging motion which allows the neck’s stronger extension muscles to stabilize the head thereby enabling the head, neck, shoulders and upper back to act as a solid single unit during football impact thus functioning simultaneously not as separate individual units by Dr. Donald Chu (bio) PhD, PT, ATC, CSCS, Sports Performance and Sports Medicine Specialist.
