As a close, back in 2009 we considered a separate school and system provisionally called Black Dragon
This was to differentiate the school from White Tiger in concept and practice
White Tiger Shiro Tora was to keep to the founding principles of Street Self Defence, wooden weapons, and the practice of the DO Way systems Karate Do, Kobudo, the development in stick Escrima rather than blade based Kali
The main purpose for Black Dragon Kuro Ryyu would be the Ninja system, the schools of Ninjutsu which I was separately graded in, that are a separate concept from the benevolent Self Defence of Karate, the blade applications of Kali, which would have included Knife Fighting as a separate practice from Knife Defence and the dangerous parts of Jujutsu, which I was also now a Sensei in - the Jutsu Art systems
The were extensive posts on this in 2009 and I spent a couple of years debating how this would develop - it never would have been some separate Ninja school, but was originally looking to be a separate Ninja Kali system with Jujutsu, which could be held back and taught later to Seniors
By 2012 we had worked this all out, Members has come and gone and we had developed some Senior grades at the club, including out first 3 Black Belts
KEMPO Karate and KEMPO Jujutsu were now the core of our Unarmed practice, along with our Kali and Kickboxing , much like it is today, with separate "Mat Day" sessions for Grappling
So Ninjutsu was added to STMA properly and we went from there - we also included Kali knife, and the other dangerous stuff in Jujutsu and Kobudo - all information was posted, shared, and taught to all Members
Though it never went that way, this would have been the way our "separate Ninja system" would have been founded, held back, and used later to allow a White Tiger to also become a Black Dragon

The Black Dragon site is still there, we still own it, and we have never added to it after the two inaugural posts in August 2009
