Dawud demonstrating Laughing River Jujitsu Kata 16: Changing Height
Whenever you get up or go down you’re in a very vulnerable position. Fights often ends when you’re taken to the ground. The Laughing River Jujitsu system kata 16 gets you to be stable as you descend and ascend so you’re not vulnerable to attacks.

Dawud and Omar playing the Laughing River Jujitsu PUSH PULL GAME
The object of the game is to take the other person off balance. You start off by planting your feet down in a fixed position. The goal is to stay planted in that position while trying to get the other person to take a step. In the Laughing River Jujitsu system, size doesn’t matter. A person of smaller stature can uproot a bigger or taller person. The Push Pull Game is a fundamental exercise in the Laughing River System. It’s a fun way to train your balance and equilibrium—a basic principle in self-protection.
