"Shadow?" Brian smiled gratefully at the bigger man. He'd been putting up with quite a bit. "Could you walk past me, please? Just start there..."
Now Shadow was walking towards and past him, and he stepped forward into it-- dropped low, bending his knees, and sprang forward. He grabbed Shadow around the legs, just at the knee, wrapped his arms tightly together and pulled tight so that Shadow's lower legs were pulled together.
The big man had a great sense of balance, and managed to stay up for a bit, but eventually he toppled gently-- landing very well, actually.
"Doesn't matter how big they are," Brian said, giving Shadow a hand off the ground and sincere 'thanks!'. "If you can lock their legs together like that, they'll go down. Takes practice, though. ...and I couldn't take him by tackling at the thighs, or the chest."

Smile.
"You wanna try on me?"
