This is part of Shihan Alejandro Ivan Serralles Sagalowitz's traditional Japanese Jujutsu (Nihon Dentou Jujutsu Ryu) class in the Defense Center dojo in Santo Domingo. Our style is Kempo Aiki Jujutsu and our school is part of Shuko Kai International, a global school of martial arts led by Shihan Kunio Miyake.

In this clip, Shihan Serralles has us practice the standard Jujutsu roll plus picking up an item mid-jump. This exercise is meant to aid in a theoretical real life, street fight situation where you must either procure a weapon or valuable item and immediately face the opponent coming towards you.

    The ability to roll overobstacles and pik stuff up as you do is a VALUABLE real world combat skill.It's greatly underappreciated and undertrained.I make my guys do it.Lolol I make them roll pick up medicine balls throw it and continue with plyometric bunny hop cone drills then roll their way back to the starting point.Lolol great conditioning explosivity and body control drill.

    @ATACXGYM Thanks for watching and for your comments. We were mostly white belts and yellow belts that day, so it was light. Nowadays, we have to pick up two knives on the fly and jump over as much as 4 crouching bodies, or someone just slightly hunched over. Visit our new channel in the video annotations for more updates!
