Post from 2014, ten years ago, on the STMA Progressive Syllabus

shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1208/stma-progressive-syllabus


It is interesting to see how closely we have stuck to this over the ten years and where changes have been made


Ninjutsu is the area we have most expanded on, going beyond just using the TenChiJin and sourcing the 6 scrolls directly


The TenChiJin thread was started in 2009, added to in 2012, updated in 2023

shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/38/tenchijin-ninjutsu-sets-techniques


The 9 Schools thread was started in 2013

shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1031/9-schools-ninjutsu

it was five years later in 2018 that we started adding more specific info to this thread and gave each school it's dedicated thread with the Gata listed





The last post on the 2014 thread refers to SILAT


Silat is the generic name for the martial arts of Malaysia, just as Kung Fu is the name for the martial arts of China

So in parts Silat resembles arts we already have

Kali
Kali Kempo
Kempo karate
Kempo Jujutsu
Jujutsu

So there really hasn't been a need to tap Silat yet
A second reason is that it would serve to confuse members who aren't too sure of the arts listed above

What we do use in Silat so far is the three major foot sweeps done at trapping range, that complement the karate sweeps done at kb range and the judo sweeps done at grappling range

What we will probably do is add in Silat drills at certain phases and ranges, just as we added mantis drills to chi São



It took us until last year 2023 to properly list and practice Silat, the Entry and TD Phase

shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1868/silat

Most likely Silat would be he next Art we go further into


Be interesting to see where we take this over the next ten years

The Kukushin Gata done with TESSEN and JUTTE done with the Torch

Karate Throws

 

While Karate on Okinawa did not contain Nage throws as such, when Funakoshu developed what became Shotokan in Japan, he refined a list of 9 throws

Having studied Judo and consulted with Kano he developed and finalised this list


The karate sweeps, as listed on the Board, were refined through the Competition years, and can be seen today

The list of throws are done from Karate Range, practiced as Jiyu Ippon Kumite, all come out in Free Sparring, and are applicable to Self Defence


In STMA we have covered these and referred to them, and are all present in Jujutsu and Judo, and some versions in Ninpo

The names are more "poetic" than directly descriptive



The 9 throws of Gichin Funakoshi


Byobu Daoshi – to topple a folding screen - O Soto Gari

Komi Nage – spinning top throw - Ikkyo - Tekki bunkai - the third move in KENPO Long 3

Kubi Wa – neck ring - Irimi Nage

Katawa Guruma – cripple wheel - the followup, with leg grab


Tsubame Gaeshi – reverse swallow - Dumog, Uki Otoshi


Yari Dama – spearing throw

Tani Otoshi – valley drop - though it has the same name as the Judo throw, it is variation on Ippon Seoi Nage and Shiho Dori

Ude Wa – arm ring - Bassai bunkai - double leg TD

Gyaku Tsuchi – reverse sledgehammer - piledriver






The modern format of Karate KKK - Kihon, Kata, Kumite, gave rise to the Sparring/Sport version that became widely taught

As we know, the STREET applications from Kata are not always passed on

Funakoshi's book Karate Do Kyohan lists and describes the 9 Nage
