Sambo training in Japan

This is Sambo training in Japan by a coach named Hagihara. I don't much about the coach but the training looks really solid and top notch. Alot of the warm up drills are the same if not very similar to wrestling. Though these drills are mainly found in wrestling or grappling schools I think they will be beneficial to any styles . Body coordination, flexibility, breakfalling, these are some of the things off the top of my head that can be developed through this.

You guys can see we do some of these drills in sanshou training but they have some really acrobatic ones here that we don't do. Given the time I would love to try and learn them. The exercises look really fun and I'd like to master them before I'm too old!
