Why are we going for the legs when we tackle?

We shouldn't be going for the legs we should be wrapping at the waist then sliding down to to pull the legs together......either that or stand square and hit them hard in the belly button and drive them to the ground.

I was always taught to aim for the belt buckle and run right through it. We're aiming at shoe laces.
