SILAT
In Weapons phase we use 3 arts from 3 countries for Double sticks and the application for the double short swords
KALI from Filipino MA
KRABI from Thailand
KOBUDO from Japan
At this time there is no point and no advantage in adding the Silat Malaysia version of the double sticks, though we may look at this later in the year, around Summer Camp
The same applies to KNIFE as we extensively drill knife in Kali and we have the TANTO from Japan
The KARAMBIT would be the first Silat knife to look at
As for WING CHUN BART CHARM DAO
- though they are short swords, they are such a specific weapon, they are trained separately and do not fit into the general drilling of double swords
- that being said, some of the KENPO Form 7 and 8 double stick and some knife do work with these Dao, and we will look at that later
In Trapping Phase we use
Wing Chun and Jun Fan - remove the barrier and take centreline, Jik Chun Choy Straight Blast
Kali - destroy the limb, step on triangles, strikes
Silat - inside, outside and split entries to strikes
So Silat becomes the third Art we use at Entry Trapping Phase
On Mat we use the Silat Entry to Strikes, TD, to pin
We have established a set of 8 Silat sequences, which we will use as the start each week and cycle so Members get to experience Silat regularly without the overload of a new system
We then do sets from KOPPO and KEMPO
Silat becomes the third Art we use of the mat
With the Silat TD we end up with the opponent face down or face up, sometimes slightly on one side
This gives us the option, when face down, of going into a Aiki pin, and we ran through those
With the opponent face up, we can look at the JUDO Newaza
We have gone over the pins and used them on context - we are now adding the locks following from a TD, and this would also apply when we use a TD in KOPPO or KEMPO
There is always the option to go into the Ground Bud JJ Combatives Game plan which we know well and cover all the time, either by taking side mount, stepping over to take Mount, or taking the back
When we talk here about the JUDO Newaza, we are talking about the KODOKAN sets as discussed and listed - as you know we have only recently added the full set of Kodokan looks to the Board, as they have been covered and cycled over the last decade in the Advanced JJ series - we are looking at the advantage of stopping to specifically cover JUDO sets here, eg the Judo version of Juji Gatame, the one leg over, to complement the Mount version
WC Entry
The Entry takes us from Outrange to Trapping range, bypassing Kick and Punch range
The JJ Entry is similar, designed to take us to VG Vertical Grappling range, a Clinch for TD, or drop to Double Leg
The WC front kick on the low line bridges the gap to punch range so we Straight Blast and trap if needed
If the opponent punches first, and this has to be a round hook punch because we are covering the centreline, we use Lin Sil Die Dar
We use this with Tan Sao, Garn Sao and Jut Sao on the different lines
We then use this inside Chi Sao
This drill also forms part of Knife Defence
The 8 Silat sequences we have established and are currently cycling are like any set of basic techniques used to introduce a student to a new Art
Kihon Happo in Ninpo
Orange belt throws in Judo
When we run through these we are practicing the Art of Silat, the Silat way of progression
Entry
Pressure with strikes
Terminate TD to pin
This year 2023 has not picked up the same pace with Grass the way we have in previous years, however KUMITE back in the DOJO balances the KORYO done on Grass and on Dojo Mats
KUMITE is done on the wood
It is the most formal part of the Unarmed training, in Japanese Karate it is as formal as Kendo training, more so than the more relaxed KEMPO and KOPPO drills
As with the Kempo sets without the TD extensions, Kumite is done during the "Wood bit" and doesn't need mats - as it is Formal Dojo training it is not usually done on Grass
This Summer, in the Dojo Class training, it makes sense to add Kumite, regardless of what we are doing on the Mats or out on the Grass, and it will balance with the KOPPO and KEMPO, as well as the KB drilling and sparring
We planned earlier in the year to start using Karate pads and cover the drills
