SILAT
We have also added to the SILAT thread in Advance of the Autumn Season
shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1868/silat
Rather than confuse things, or make the new Members think they have even more to cover than they first thought, this is to add clarity, as it is part of what we do anyway
This year we added the Silat Entries, with the strikes and TD, to our current practice with the WC/JF and Kali entries - you all know that worked out well and added some new drills without being confusing
The new post refers to the HARIMAU style of Silat, the TIGER style
I have mentioned before the similarities between NINJA methods found in some Kali and Silat systems, and Harimau is the Silat style that personifies this the most
During our NINPO and JJ training, we can reference a Harimau technique or method, similar to how a Wing Chun trap can be seen inside a Kempo set
With the Kali knife development, part of our regular Close Range practice, we always talk about the NINJA use of knives both at Projectile Throwing range, and at Close Range, standing and on the Ground
The Karambit, the tiger claw knife, is the Silat weapon that most compliments these strategies
---------------------------------------
HARIMAU
Putih Harimau is the translation of White Tiger into Malay
Harimau, the Tiger style of Silat
has moves that resemble the technique and philosophy of the Tiger
Silat Harimau has agile techniques and beautiful movements, like Taihenjutsu
As with Ninpo, behind these techniques and movements, there are various deadly attacks that are applied to immobilize the enemy very quickly
like Koppojutsu - painful, renders the opponent unable to move, and cannot fight back.
Silat Harimau also uses claws as a weapon to attack his opponent, like SHAKO
The KARAMBIT is taken from this style and is the most familiar Close Combat weapon
The claws aim at the neck, face and vital parts of the opponent. This method does not exist in other Pencak silat
Along with TIGER as we inherit it from KUNGU FU into KEMPO, the Tiger of KOTO Ryu
The parallels between Silat and Kali have been discussed and written about
As mentioned, this style of Silat is similar to NINJUTSU and our main area of interest
There were no NINJA as such in those parts, though we find Warrior Groups that were similar in both techniques, methods, tactics, strategy, and philosophy
The warrior Pendekar Haji Asraf was a master of Harimau and he lead a band of rebels against the Dutch in Indonesia during the 18th century.
Pendekar Asraf's ferocity and expertise in battle earned him a title from his adversaries. The Dutch called him ‘Macan’ meaning tiger, however due to his faith, his people changed the title to Harimau Berantai which means ‘chained tiger’. This meant a warrior chained down to earth by his virtue. The chain signified the degree of self control and religious faith.
Pendekar Kiyai Haji Asraf later furthered the Harimau Berantai name when he led a rebel group of pesilats to carry out covert operations on Dutch military camps. In time his entire clan would become known as Harimau Berantai and subsequently the silat they practiced.
This Clan was a lot like a NINJA clan such as Iga Ryu or Koga Ryu for the reasons discussed
In this Method, the primary target is to neutralize the main threat which is the weapon-arm of the enemy.
This is like the defang in Kali and the "Blocks" in Gyokko and Koto Ryu
Kill zones such as the neck, torso and major arteries are secondary targets in Harimau Berantai
- the emphasis is not so much on the damage that can be done as much as the repair that can be salvaged once an injury has occurred, whether it be on your enemy or one's self
This philosophy within this combative system is the belief that violent circumstances occur, but this does not justify the taking of a life if it can be avoided
Again, we see in the NINJA Ryu the concept of not taking life unless necessary
The clothes used for Silat Harimau are black clothes which are better known as "endong" or "galembong".
This black itself has the meaning of "tahan tapo" resistant to exposure
Silat clothes are made loose on the thighs to make it easier for movements to be more flexible and agile.
Movements such as jumping and there are some acrobatic movements, a lot like Taihenjutsu and ShihoTenChiTobi
The Silat uniform is a lot like the Shinobi Shizoku Ninja uniform and Ninpo training Gi
The Karambit weapon of Silat Harimau is a small hand-held knife shaped like a tiger's claw
The western world calls it Karambit and in Indonesia it is called Kerambit / Karambiak
Karambit is the original weapon of the Minangkabau people
Karambit is dangerous because it can be used to slash or tear the opponent's limbs quickly and undetected
Karambit is deliberately designed to be more curved like a tiger's claw, after seeing a tiger fight with its claws
------------------------------------------
With two new Members signed up and kitted up we can go into the Autumn Season from September onwards with a return to Phase One
Phase One covers the first four belts red, yellow, orange and green
As well as the "syllabus" for new Members, it allows the Black Belts to review all their basic drills
eg when Ice and Joker do sticks, they cover things like six count concepts, matrix 8 ,etc - when do they ever go over 2 count and 4 count together
Black Belts will still cover these advanced drills together of course, and this applies to all Stages, Kempo, JJ, KB, etc
Phase one drills:
KALI:
2, 4, 6, 8
Serrada 3 count stick and knife
Hubud knife
Largo knife
NRG:
Hubud
Bon lop
Chi sao
Hubud is most important as it links, stick, knife and Hand, and then CRA
CRA:
Tebuki - start with Kote Gaeshi
Hiji - start with Ikkyo
Shime - start with Sleeper
obviously, we then build the set of 5 wrist, 5, elbow 5 choke over time, add dumog, build the rest of the series, sweeps, HKE, etc
NONE OF THIS WILL BE RUSHED
NINPO Kihon Happo
KEMPO KF and MK
There will still be the usual Kempo sets and Koppo sets, we just make sure we cover the Foundation stuff, whether new Member or BB - as well as Trapping, WC sets, Entries, that we cover in the usual Cycles
JJ Combatives
Ground Bud - starting with Monkey Pint Escape
Once we have the Groundbud drill, as we call it, we add to it as we go along
KB
Focus pads - starting with Box Set One
ABC drills
Box Def sets
- step - slip - parry - bob weave - roll - blocks and covers
Karate Blocks
- forearm to forearm
- forearm to shin
- shin to shin
Impact we go into Thai pads and Shield
SPARRING we build up in drills one stage at a time - as you know
Even experienced Black Belts, reading that list, can be surprised to realise how much we actually cover on Phase One, and that forms part of our ongoing practice
Once Monday August Camp is completed, this will all start from first Monday in September

-------------------------------------------- At STMA we have worked the Ryuha in this order Gyokko Ryu Koto Ryu Shinden Fudo Ryu Daken Kukkishin Daken Kukkishin weapons We have covered some of, and still need to go further into Togakure Taijutsu Togakure Weapons Shinden Fudo Jutaijutsu Takagi Yoshi Ryu Jutaijutsu ----------------------------------------- List of Shoden Ura Gata, basic transmission inner techniques Ate komi no kata Eri Jime no kata Gyaku Dori no kata, Do gaeshi henka Gyaku Dori no kata Hiki Komi no kata Hiki Taoshi no kata Katamune Dori no kata Kaygo Kudaki no kata Keri Komi no kata (Ken Nagashi henka) Keri Komi no kata Menbu no kata (Karame dori) Menbu no kata Nagashi no kata Ryo Ashi dori no kata (2) Ryo Ashi Dori no kata Ryomune Dori no kata Tengu Dori no kata Tsuki taoshi no kata Ude Ori no kata, (Hiza Guruma henka) Ude Ori no kata, (Ransho henka) With JUDO we have discussed and written about how it was sourced from the older schools of Jujutsu, the primary two being KITO Ryu and TENJIN SHINYO Ryu Kodokan JUJUTSU was refined into Kodokan JUDO 70 Nage throws - Tachi standing 30 Newaza ground With AIKIDO, as it forced from AIKIJUTSU, the primary source was the DAITO RYU When AIKIDO was formed, and was supposed to look and be presented as a new Art, so could not have any Judo type throws or Newaza in it The Aikido syllabus, therefore starts with the Five Immobilisations, wrist and elbow locks to the five Ground Pins, then moves on to Projections While there are many throws from Kito Ryu as well as Daito Ryu practiced, they were not included into the AIKIDO syllabus TOMIKI Aikido revises a new system, starting with the 17 Randori GRACIE Jujutsu, revised from Kodokan, starts with NEWAZA, a new combative listing and works it's progression the other way As NINPO and NINJUTSU systems were never refined into Modern Do "ways" with modern syllabus, we still work them from the DENSHO scrolls, with the 3 levels, or four in some cases The closest is the TENCHIJIN book as discussed Shinden Fudo Ryu JuTaiJutsu was the first system Takamatsu Sensei, as the young Jutaro as he was called, learned at the TODA Dojo This Jujutsu is an older Combat version of the Art, both in TACHI and NEWAZA When paired in practice with JUDO gokyo, the 67, and Newaza, and then with JJ Combatives, it creates an eclectic practice This what we have covered over the Summer, on Mats and on Grass, and will continue to refine over the Autumn Season It is similar to the "JKD" model where Kali, Wing Chun and Jun Fan, then adding Silat, in the Trapping and NRG Range and practice work together It is possible to go off into a system or Art eg Wing Chun and work through it in more detail, or just stick to the Core practice EG in KEMPO JUTSU, we have all the 156 striking Methods from KEMPO/KENPO to properly study KENPO KARATE, you go off into the System, cover the 24 techniques in proper order on each belt level, add the extensions, go over the Forms, including 7 and 8 which are stick and knives methods not included elsewhere in the System, cover the Club and Staff Set, the Hand sets, and you have the whole system For Kenpo Jujutsu you just need the Core striking methods, the go into the Jujutsu flow for throws, chokes and locks, then newaza KOTO Ryu KOPPO Jutsu was the second system that Jutaro learned at the Toda Dojo As we have covered this Ryu in depth, all four Scrolls, we can match this with our KARATE Kumite We also compare the DAKENTAIJUTSU of KUKISHIN, all four scrolls of which we have worked on, as well at the DAKENTAI of Shinden Fudo itself, 3 scrolls, the Chudan scoll being Newaza, Handachi and Newaza Mutodori Jutaro learned Shinden Jujutsu and Koto in his pre teen years - this is similar to the modern practice of junior classes in Karate and Judo When one has their Black Belt in both Karate and Judo, they can continue through their adult years to earn Dan Grades - this is similar to learning the higher scrolls later Jutaro started his TOGAKURE NINPO from his teenage years - as well at the Taijutsu he learned the NINPO Biken Sword Jutato's later studies with ISHITANI were on the KUKISHINDEN Dakentaijutsu and Weapon systems Takagi Yoshin Jutaijutsu Gikan Ryu Koppo - which was a lot like KOTO Ryu Ishitani was a NINJA and also taught JUTARO methods of Onshinjutsu that he learned from the Hakuun Ryu, which complement the NINJA methods in Togakure Ryu For our mat "JUDO" we do not practice all 70 throws, we do examine them, we just use the ones that are relevant we cover the STANDING series on the JJ Combatives by looking at the Shinden list of JJ, in particular example Jinchu Nage where we Kikaku Ken headbutt before O Soto or Koshi Nage throw, we extend and enrich our practice We have the JJ Combatives and Advanced series on the GROUND we look at Judo Newaza, the pins, locks and chokes by looking at the four Newaza/Suwari of Shinden, we expand our understanding and options Later in the Season we will look at Session where we do the sam in KARATE range: Karate KUMITE - Kihon and Jiyi Ippon, the 3 and 5 step Koto Ryu Koppo Jutsu Kempo 5 star and 5 step Kukishin Daken "block" series into Terminate -------------------------------- First post in this thread was Summer 2009, which refers to the STMA Gun Disarm There is only ONE gun disarm we practice from the holdup position because we only need one - and it is THE ONE THAT WORKS! We don't want to log jam somebody who faces this situation - you need ONE response to this threat that you have drilled so many times it is second nature. You do not want options or choices you want ONE response that SAVES YOUR LIFE! The scenario here is the attacker is standing in front of you holding the gun at your face or chest. You put your hands up, and he approaches. He is not shooting. This is most likely in a robbery situation. This scenario is based on REAL gun defence situations. It is not imagined or assumed. The second post, added five years later in 2014 lists the KENPO ROD series, which we added at that time: The American Karate Masters, including Military Officers and Police Officers have developed "Rod" techniques, effective gun defences In Class, when teaching the BASE GD, we show Delayed Sword which every Kenpo and Karate Yellow Belt knows, and Kote Gaeshi, which every Jujutsu and Aikido Yellow Belt knows, and how the STMA BASE Gun Def is based on these two basic techniques which are drilled into you over the years, an instinctive reflex response you can do under pressure And remember - the gun itself is not the threat, it is the bullet that comes from the gun, so we are defencing Angle #5 - if the gun goes off, as it is likely to, it is loud and shocking, and make sure it is pointing away from you You may wonder, reading the 2009 post about the BASE Gun Def THE ONE THAT WORKS being the only one we practice, why did I add the four ROD post - and if so, as this makes now a list of five techniques, why not revise the wording of the original post Reason is that the STMA Base Gun Disarm, as we call it, is the one that comes from our REAL history, and the one we used in our program and taught to everyone for those years, 2009 being the end of that Decade, and when the STMA school was founded As we expanded the practice of STMA, adding lists of techniques and drills from our Source arts, including KENPO, we listed the ROD techniques here, as they appear at the end of Long Form Six, and as they are taught in the KENPO systems round the World So while the STMA Base GD, the One That Works, is the foundation of that practice, the four Kenpo Rod techniques build on that and give you further options The main point of the Gun Defence is we hope you never need to use it - this gives you a survival option if you ever do In my case, at least one Bouncer in Croydon was shot on the door of his Club, at that range - being a Bouncer in Croydon, back in those days, I needed a method to make sure myself and my team were prepared for that situation - and that is what the Base technique give us, and what the Kenpo Rod Series expands on --------------------------------------- GUN Here is the GUN thread shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/171/gun-disarm First post was Summer 2009, which refers to the STMA Gun Disarm: There is only ONE gun disarm we practice from the holdup position because we only need one - and it is THE ONE THAT WORKS!

The second post, added five years later in 2014 lists the KENPO ROD series, which we added at that time, as I described last night: The American Karate Masters, including Military Officers and Police Officers have developed "Rod" techniques, effective gun defences We showed Delayed Sword which every Kenpo and Karate Yellow Belt knows, and Kote Gaeshi, which every Jujutsu and Aikido Yellow Belt knows, and how the STMA Gun Def is based on these two basic techniques which are drilled into you over the years, an instinctive reflex response you can do under pressure And remember - the gun itself is not the threat, it is the bullet that comes from the gun, so we are defencing Angle #5 - if the gun goes off, as it is likely to, it is loud and shocking, and make sure it is pointing away from you You may wonder, reading the 2009 post about the ONE THAT WORKS being the only one we practice, why did I add the ROD post - and if so, as this makes a list of five techniques, why not revise the wording of the original post Reason is that the STMA Gun Disarm, as we call it, is the one that comes from our REAL history, and the one we used in our program and taught to everyone for those years, 2009 being the end of that Decade when the STMA school was founded As we expanded the practice of STMA, adding lists of techniques and drills from our Source arts, including KENPO, we listed the ROD techniques here, as they appear at the end of Long Form Six, and as they are taught in the KENPO systems round the World So while the STMA GD, the One That Works, is the foundation of that practice, the four Kenpo Rod techniques build on that and give you further options The main point of the Gun Defence is we hope you never need to use it - this gives you a survival option if you ever do In my case, at least one Bouncer in Croydon was shot on the door of his Club, at that range - being a Bouncer in Croydon, back in those days, I needed a method to make sure myself and my team were prepared for that situation - and that is what the Base techniques give us TEN NO MAKI JUNAN TAISO Junan Taiso, the Ninja's body conditioning method JUNAN UNDO NO GATA “Ten lucky warm-up methods” TAIHENJUTSU UKEMI KATA 体変術受身型 (Body movement receiving forms) Taihenjutsu (Body movement technique) includes both defensive and offensive actions. The most important idea concerning the execution of these techniques is that each part of the movement must be smoothly executed and each part connected from one to the other: the whole technique should never have a moment of interruption. Some of the movements are primers for higher techniques such as Sabaki Kata (To make swift dodge) and Moguri Kata (Submerging forms). Ninpo Taijutsu includes movements and techniques which will make you 'disappear', avoid attacks, or run away from your enemy. Some people believe that these actions are cowardly. But it should be realized that these evasive techniques are very necessary techniques for all martial artists. One might want to change the expression from 'running away' to 'running away by kicking back'. Master Takamatsu had a witty technique. It is described by this analogy; ‘A wild Boar is chasing a Monkey fiercely. The Monkey suddenly jumps aside rolling on the ground. The Boar is so upset that he can not see what is happening ahead, and therefore keeps on running.. The Monkey is now sitting under a shaded tree, mocking the Boar. What is ahead is a deep valley, and as the Boar enters it, the Monkey disappears'. How do you interpret this analogy? Can't we say that the Monkey had a strategy? This strategy is called wit! Ukemi Kaiten Shiho Tenchi Tobi Shoten no Jutsu (Running to the heavens) Hoko Jutsu (art of walking/running) Soku Shin So Soku Ho - Sideways running Hyo Jo Ho Ko - Running on slick surfaces Mu On No Ho - Silent running DAKEN KIHON (Basic strikes) Tsuki Migi / Hidari Punch Right / Left Keri (Mae, Yoko, Ushiro) - Migi / Hidari Kick (front, side, back) Right / Left UKE NO KATA (Receiving forms) Jodan Uke (Upper level block) Ura / Omote, Migi / Hidari (Inner / Outer, Right / Left) Gedan Uke (Lower level block) Ura / Omote, Migi / Hidari (Inner / Outer, Right / Left) ---------------------------------------- The TENCHIJIN shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/38/tenchijin-ninjutsu-sets-techniques This is a comprehensive manual on Unarmed Combat and Self Defence, and has been taught by the TODA family as part of the Togakure Ryu going back several generations Togakure is not meant to be a standalone school, it is taught after GYOKKO and KOTO so the skill sets builds So as well as the basic Togakure Taijutsu scroll listed, the rest of the Unarmed Combat program is the techniques and sets drawn and listed on the TenChiJin thread The separate unique TOGAKURE gata listed here are what make it specifically NINJA With TOGAKURE we tend to cover it as we go, and have done so over the last few years The structure can seem bewildering to Students, though it makes sense when put alongside GYOKKO and KOTO Ryu and when put into context As an attempt to simplify, along with our recent addition of the practice GOTONPO - the Five Elements of Escape and Evasion - Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, Metal - digging holes, silent swimming, camouflage, fire diversion, climbing trees, use foliage for cover and movement BIKENJUTSU - Sword - the primary weapon - the NINJA sword used the NINJA way TAIJUTSU - Unarmed Combat MUTODORI - the highest scroll in KOTO and GYOKKO deal with this - Unarmed defence against a Sword - the TOGAKURE takes it further to make it NINJA SHINKEN GATA - the TOGAKURE Mutodori using SHUKO - the climbing tool then used as a weapon when meeting armed guards - this applies to the other tools Kunai, Grappling hook, etc GAESHI GATA - Ground rolling Ukemi escapes and climbing to higher ground - the higher levels then include throwing SHURIKEN, throwing the Sword - then the Sensory Perception techniques, which peak with the SAKKI ability ie "Fifth Dan test" SANTO TONKO GATA - multiple enemies with swords circling, attempt to arrest or stop you - metsubishi and shuriken Rather than done during day on Grass or a lit dojo, these are done in low light, during twilight or night time so they make ore sense in context - this is the NINJA night time art, not the daytime Samurai battlefield art - Urban combat methods done at night Taijutsu Ichimonji is done slightly different from KOTO and GYOKKO - it is more sideways to make a difficult target for Projectiles, not presenting a facing square target - it is lower to the ground to make rolling quicker and easier - a smaller, lower, moving target NINJA tools - the NINJATO shorter sword - Shuriken, Shuko, Shoge, Kunai, Shindake - the Treasures - Metsubishi The TAIJUTSU is proper Self Defence Combat, designed to nullify the attack to facilitate escape The SWORD is the only full Combat area of training for when the weapon has to be drawn to engage the enemy - so specific drills for that weapon to be used against the Samurai Katana So when we look at GYOKKO and KOTO, as they were handed down in the TODA family with TOGAKURE, we see where it fits in, and how the NINJA skills are drilled and needed Looking at SHINDEN FUDO, which is also handed down in the TODA line - we see the battlefield origins and uses, the Natural stances and movements being non telegraphic, and how it was originated in armour, and can still be practiced well if in armour Looking at KUKISHINDEN, which comes to us from ISHITANI, as well as the DAKENTAIJUTSU, the full Weapons program, Katana so full long sword, Bo, Hanbo, Jo, and then spears - a full battlefield system So NINJA would only take some of the battlefield methods into what they needed on a mission Night time infiltration would only need combat skills if discovered and needed to defend, kill, and escape - so this is where the NINJA skill of Togakure fit in A NINJA, discovered on a mission, had to use his climbing tools to fight - when he got home and reviewed the mission, there was a need to improve the ONSHINJUTSU and also a need to drill and improve the MUTO with the "improvised" weapons, which is where the training and development started ----------------------------------------------- Our revision of KUKISHIN DAKEN went well, and we matched that with the relevant Weapons, including the SEITEI work on Jo v Bokken We were able to revisit the SHINDEN FUDO DAKEN as well Though there is a YOROI armour development in this Ryuha, it is primarily a SIZEN Natural school - with the Kukishin, based on Armour, it pairs well with our development on JUDO, in that the Kodakan Jujutsu Ryuha were mainly two schools, one Armour, one Shizen That being the case, over the Summer we can look again at the STMA JUDO RANDORI and revisit the first Scroll of Shinden Fudo Jutaijutsu, the Grappling system We always refer to "blow before throw" in our Combat Jujutsu We have recently covered Te Hodoki hand releases - which gets you out of the Grab and back to striking We have looked at Happo Keri, the 8 kicks done at grab range to the low line We constantly reference HKE at Trapping range So on the mat, and later on the Grass, we can cover these sets of Waza and Gata as they fill out our practice We have been revising - the Aikijutsu pins from the 5 immobilisations - the Judo Newaza, pins, locks and chokes, from the throws to side position - the 36 JJ Combatives - the Silat Entry TD - the KEMPO TD to Ground finish so this will be the next stage this year to fill out what we are building The JUDO NAGE thread: shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/79/judo-nage-gokyo-full-69 |
