STMA Dojo - "what we do" and "how it works"

 

This is a new Structure list of the "Syllabus" of STMA to make "what we do" and "how it works" more comprehensive to understand



The Four Pillars:

WEAPONS

UNARMED

GRAPPLING

KICKBOXING




Traditionally, each Phase is done in a different "arena"

Weapons done "On the Wood" - the wooden floor of the Dojo hall

Unarmed is done both "On the wood" and then "On the mat"

Grappling is done "On the mat"

Kickboxing is done "In the Ring"


as we do not have a dedicated ring at the venue, and don't really need one, the "ring bit" is done "on the wood"


Weapons and Unarmed are done "on the Grass"

Grappling can be done on the Grass

It is unusual to do KB on the Grass, though we have done Impact work in the Circle on a dry day
