Details on the ROGUE series

shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1203/rogue-series


This was something we came up with back in 2014, ten years ago

It is based on the KUNOICHI Concepts with added method from the GRACIE system, including the Pink Belt program of that time


When we got to Sanderstead we recruited a Kunoichi Group for Rogue to separately develop, that included Sprite, Phoenix, Willow and Electra

Though that ended up being a short lived program, the system still exists

As you know, Rogue and Storm have only been to a few Shirley and a few Kenley, so the development of a new Kunoichi group never materialised

Our only new Kunoichi is Echo, the other prospects having not signed on

We have an earlier Kunoichi program, the STORK series, that dates back to the 1998-2003 Era, twenty years ago

While this still centred around the Kunoichi NINJA program, it was based more on KARATE, KB, and later THAI, and this included development at the Boxing Gym, and a lot of ring sparring, which we were doing at that time

Newaza was still a big part, the grappling element being more of the old JUDO and JUJUTSU with the basic GRACIE Combatives included - this predates the Pink Belt program by about ten years

At this time I was also instructing the Senior Male students in WRESTLING throws - and we had a full Vale Tudo sparring program as well


I am looking to bring video footage from that time to CLASS, some of which only ICEMAN has seen, as reference and inspiration

For the next generation of Kunoichi, starting with Echo, we can refer back to the STORK Series
