Freestyle karate set 2
Jab, gz, maw
Jab, gz, rear maw
These are first done static, then wth the holder moving back to kick range before presenting the pad for the kick. This is to develop distance and timing.
As you need to work these static, then with the step, and on both sides, it's a complete set and quite a good round.

STMA Sub Groups
We have started drilling members into sub groups to work on a specific area.
Any member can join any sub group and it gives you a chance to specialise and learn an art, or an aspect of an art, in more depth.
The groups so far:
woodies - those doing eskrima
boxers - those doing boxing
wing chunners - those doing chi sao
karateka - those who stick to the karate SC structure rather than box
swordsmen - those doing longer weapons such as sword and pole
Thai-ers - those doing Muay Thai drills on pads and sparring
we'll obviously add new sub groups as the need arises

Sparring Rules
1. Sparring standard uses the Semi Contact Kickboxing-Freestyle Karate format and structure. This means touch contact with kicks and punches to the body and pull all head shots. No kicks below belt or to legs - that is for lo kix and Thai structure sparring.
2. Sparring in Full Contact structure allows head shots with contact. You ONLY make head contact if your partner is wearing the proper gear - headguard and gumshield. You ONLY punch to the head if you are wearing boxing gloves.
3. Training partners agree level of contact. ONLY go above touch contact if both parties agree.
4. NEVER catch an opponent's foot. If you haven't blocked or evaded his kick it stands as a score. Because he has pulled it you have not been hit hard. DO NOT catch his foot. You would not be able to do this if the kick had been full power.
5. Acknowledge when a hit lands. You can say "oss" or "touche", but do acknowledge it. Don't just carry on falling way after your partner has landed a kick or punch you failed to block or evade.

Combat conditioning
This is something necessary for those who want any kind of full contact career or want to fight VT or MMA.
You need to learn to take a hit.
As you can't take a groin shot, groin guards are mandatory in all kinds of competition. Other than that you need to learn the godan defences.
Similarly you can't take a proper head shot, you can't condition yourself against concussion and you certainly can't take an eye jab or throat strike. So everyone wears gumshields and, apart from the most full on matches, you wear head gear.
And you learn to defend your head.
So you need to condition the "5 points" for contact:
Abs
Forearms
Upper arms
Thighs
Shins
You condition abs by punch for punch
You condition arms by punch for punch
You condition thighs by kick for kick
You condition forearms with blocking
You condition shins with blocking
Nobody has to do this intense conditioning.
If you want to compete you MUST.
Anybody who wants to do this will do it with myself and other interested members.
It is NOT mandatory at STMA, but it is something we can offer.

Boxers - to be a boxer at STMA
To be a boxer here all you need is the boxing gear.
(sounds like a poem)
But seriously, all you need so is acquire the boxing gloves, headgear and gumshield and you will be able to join in the "boxing bit" which involves the line and corner drill, the defence and counter drills, and the sparring.
This is a bit different from freestyle sparring in general as it just uses hands and pretty much just punches to the head, with body blows being secondary. So as with ABA and BBBC standard, we need proper PPE to do this phase of the training.
It is not vital to do the "boxing bit" and all members will learn the boxing phase, the padwork and the FC structure of KB. And of course the functionalisation for the street combat.
But to do actual boxing you need the proper kit.
You cannot do boxing with bag gloves, SC gloves of MMA gloves. You need boxing gloves.
This will be a seperately drilled part of the class from the main group, and part of the regular training.

Dealing with 5 or more attackers
This is maybe the most difficult scenario and is a matter of spirit before tactic before technique.
Very few people can really fight through 5 attackers. I have seen it done, but that is an exceptionally well trained and tough person and a lot of luck.
The first thing to do is change your mind set:
there is actually no such thing as being attacked by 5 people.
You are being attacked by one plus one plus one plus one plus one.
The main man will be coming for you and his mates will be folowing him.
If he takes you down, they will all follow his lead and pile in.
You have to reverse this.
The best method is to double tap the main man and the closest of his mates.
BANG! BANG!
"Who's f**king next?!!"
Now, if all 3 rushed you they would cause you a problem.
But you are not dealing with THREE people. You are dealing with
one plus one plus one.
Each ONE of them is thinking "Not me" and backing off.
The Karate kata Jutte means "Ten hands" - meaning the ability to fight opponent's at once. It is the 2nd dan kata. This is where our spirit, tactics, and LASTLY techniques can be found.

Combat Concepts
Longest weapon the closest target
This is a combat concept.
It means what it says:
Use your low lead kick to hit the opponent's leg as he steps into range.
Use your lead jab to his face, or eye jab to the eye as he moves in.
Lin Sil Die Dar
This is a combat concept.
It means similtanous block and strike.
We have various ways of practicing this.
It's harder to do, but more effective than "block then punch".
That "coffee table" moment
This is a combat concept.
You have all had that experience where you've "barked" your shin on the coffee table when crossing the room in a hurry. It makes you forget what you were originally rushing to do and focusses all your attention on the site of the pain.
In combat we strike kokutsu, the shinbone, with a hard kick, to give him that "coffee table moment". It makes him forget all about attacking us.
Buffalo eyebrow
This is a combat concept.
One of our primary concepts is that we defend angles of attack rather than worry about specific weapons or what style the attacker trains in.
The strike that comes in to the left side of your head is angle #1. You defend it with the appropriate block.
It doesn't matter if the attacker is:
a "street fighter" throwing a haymaker
a boxer throwing a hook
a karate stylist throwing a shuto
another stylist throwing a ridge hand
throwing a crane beak
throwing a "buffalo eyebrow"
or anything else
"Buffalo eyebrow" is of course made up. It's not a real technique (as far as we know!)
It provokes laughter when we cover this concept in class and that helps you remember it.
