What's up, everybody down here.
I am at Science of JuJitsu Academy.
My friend Marcus's Jujitsu school.
I've done a video here before, but today we are going to change it up a little bit.
He's not going to be teaching me so much of the jujitsu moves.
Today we'll be working on how some gymnastics tumbling
correlates into jujitsu.
This is my friend Marcus.
We were at his jujitsu school and he's the one who's gonna be helping us out today.
Teaching us a little bit how those skills, the cartwheel, forward roll,
backward roll, handstand walking how all of that can correlate into jujitsu.
Good.
When we talk about the forward roll first, right?
All those movements that, that, demonstrated we can correlate
those directly to some of the movements in jujitsu.
They're not going to be performed the same way, but we can show you some examples
of how they correlate directly into your training when you're doing jiujitsu.
So the first one's going to be a forward roll,right?
So go ahead and get on your back for me, please.
So there's a, there's a multitude of circumstances where, maybe Dom's
legs will be engaged where he has what's called the guard, right?
And then he'll have some sort of grip on my body and he starts to take me overhead
or, or sweeping me in a direction.
Right.
So he's taking my arm away.
So I can't necessarily post.
Right.
Which is one of the moves we'll talk about in a little bit.
So if you start to engage his legs and he starts to tilt me overhead, that
puts me in a circumstance where now you can see my head starting to go
lower than my hips and essentially I'm starting to engage into a portal, right.
So he starts to follow through with his legs,I want to execute a forward roll so
that my face doesn't play into the ground.
And I'm essentially accepting that sweep.
Right.
Like, I know I'm going that way.
So I definitely don't want to mess up my modeling career.
So I'm going to go with them.
I'm going to execute board role to kind of help ease that, that full.
Okay.
In the same light, you can start to see where he's doing a backward roll.
Like if he starts to follow me over, this is a perfect example of a forward roll
in a backward role in Brazilian jujitsu.
As he starts to execute with his legs, tilt me forward, he follows me over to the
top, you can see, we both executed a roll.
I executed a forward roll to ease my full, he executed a
backward roll that gave him the opportunity to come out on top.
Okay, cool.
Another example of forward roll in Brazilian Jiujisu is
where I get a grip on him.
Right.
And I'm trying to attack, but he's holding me and I want to
get myself around back of him.
Right?
So from here, there are opportunities where I can follow
and stay on top and attack him.
But there are also opportunities where I can attack his back.
And one of those is where I use a grip called the Kimura and I execute
a forward roll from this position.
I'll forward roll.
Now I'm in line with him.
If he starts to follow me forward, I can move myself into a position where
I can attack with back or even come up on his arm and follow through, right.
But the angle that I need to achieve or attack that comes off
of my forward roll, I had a grip.
I slowly roll over him.
He started to come up and I can follow over, move myself into a
position where I can attack him.
All right.
So another example of the back roll would be like a straight up old school.
Like self-defense, he shoves me, I'm off all balance.
I want my heels.
I can back roll and get myself back up, ready to go into
a position to fight, right.
Or maybe he's attacking me and I start to lose my balance and I
can use my natural off balance and start to fling him and come back up.
Right.
You can see it's a little bit different of a maneuver.
However, I'm still rolling backwards and over my shoulder, or maybe he's got
control of my leg and I start to fall and he starts to tumble my leg over.
I can attack him.
Right.
So he has control of my leg maybe.
Right.
And then he starts to use that as I fall to roll backwards, I can backwards fall
to come out and look to find them again so I can follow and put myself back into
a position where I can be on the ball.
Right.
So those were a couple of different examples of back rolling.
cool.
So the next one we're going to talk about is handstand walking.
Now this isn't going to be executed the same way as you saw the skill,
but you're going to see the action.
When he actually planted on my hands.
In Jiujitsu, we have a, a defensive movement called active posting, right.
And it's when Dom tries to use his legs to, to off balance me
and sweep me to the bottom while I'm standing or I'm on top of him.
I can use my hands to kind of base right.
And generate some sort of, of a balance for my hands.
So he can, start to use his legs to bring it forward over top of them.
If you see, I sent a plant with my hands, any direction he shifts, I can
start to use my hands as a balance because my legs are off the ground.
Right.
So if he gets a grip on my collar, right, or maybe a grip on my sleeve, in my
collar and now I'm down a hand, right?
He starts to shift me.
I can use that hand.
Right.
And I can start to shift back to my feet if he directs me the other way
I can use my hand to shift back to my feet, makes me go in a circle.
I mean, I can still do the same thing and make my way back to my feet.
If he uses a grip on my leg and starts pushing you backwards right
now, I can start using my hand to active post in a way that's gonna
allow me to keep from knocking over.
And use myself to push myself back square where I have balanced unlock the door.
Leighton.
Yeah, there you go.
What do you want?
You'll come out.
Okay.
But you can't right now because we're recording.
So you got to go sit down.
Okay.
Can you go to, yes, please.
No.
Hey, well this is why we have the movie.
The Abbey with his pets or whatever.
Please give me kiss.
Kiss.
No, Lennox do you want to use massage gun?
You can.
And as soon as we're done, you want to use the massage gun?
So the last one is going to be cartwheeling.
There are a couple of different examples of this that you can find with jujitsu.
One of the more flashy versions is I need to navigate my way past his legs, right?
His legs or his guard.
I don't like that.
I need to get myself into a position where I can get around back with him,
or I could put my chest on his chest.
Right?
One of the shortcuts in jiu-jitsu is to go over the guard.
One of the ways you go over to the guard is to get a grip on him, place my hand
inside, and then start to Cartwheel to where now I can put myself behind him.
Another example of a Cartwheel would be if I'm low and I'm passing, Dom's
guard, but his legs are my way.
So I started passing the one direction and he starts to push my head down to
the ground and stop me in this direction.
A good way to transition is for me to execute a Cartwheel.
So the other side, and now I can start moving around from his back.
So another more, dynamic version of cartwheel would
be, in response to a take down.
So there are instances where Dom kind of starts to get control of my leg
and I'm having a really hard time pulling away or getting out of it.
And so one of the things I can do is kind of a reverse Cartwheel
where I'll take a step and I can carve out a lot of the position.
All right.
So Dom gets a single leg.
He gets me a position to start to push his head away.
I take a step and Cartwheel through and pull my leg away.
Most of the time that's going to work because the guy doesn't
want to get kicked in the head.
So they're gonna kind of let go.
And that's, that's how that works.
So that's another more dynamic version of a Cartwheel utilized in Jiu Jitsu.
He's too much.
