shoulder block
Body-check with torso
A shoulder block is a move in wrestling and football where a player drives their shoulder into an opponent to knock them off balance or clear a path.
The technique uses body weight behind the shoulder as the point of impact: He delivered a shoulder block that sent the defender stumbling backward.
In professional wrestling, it's a basic offensive maneuver where a wrestler runs and slams their shoulder into a standing opponent's chest.
