STMA Progressive Sparring

At STMA we have 4 main kinds of sparring:

Kali - kickboxing - unarmed - Vale Tudo
each of these has 4 phases to it.

Kali:
double stix
single stick
stick and knife
knife and hand

Kickboxing:
savate
thai
kickboxing
boxing

unarmed:
karate
chi sao
randori
ground TNS

Vale Tudo:
this is a mix of striking and grappling
- in the unarmed phase this blends kb and grappling with strikes on the ground
- the the armed phase this allows a stick fight to go to ground

so the 4 phases are:
kb
groundfight
stick fight
stick ground

each of these sparring phases has drills which can be isolated
eg sinawalli with double stix
thai pads for thai
etc

hubud:
For CRA we use hubud as our core drill. Though it is not sparring a such it can be done with stick, knife and empty hands and unites all the phases at this range and makes trapping functional as the range that sits between kb and grappling.

We currently practice the 9 CRA methods out of hubud:

lox
dumog
sweeps
tai chi
HKE
HIA
shime
throws
kino

Numerada:
Numerada is the drill that takes us back to long range, both armed and unarmed and allows us to take control of the fight at the entry phase and then close to CRA to finish.

eg: Gunting against a punch flowing into CRA rather than from the continuous flow of hubud.

Our grappling system takes techniques, tactics and training methods from the following systems:


Judo
Jujutsu

Freestyle Wrestling
Greco-Roman
Russian Sombo

Filipino Dumog

Though our main aim in training is not to go to the ground in a fight, we acknowledge the need to now how to grapple if the fight should go there.



Vertical grappling:
We start with blow before throw, using our HKE system of Head, Knees and Elbows to set up the throw, backed up with "dirty" methods including eye gouging, shoulder smash, forearm shiver and Kino Mutai biting.

Groundgrappling:
We work combat submission wrestling based on the concept of TNS - Tap, Nap or Snap.

Groundfighting:
We add back in HKE and all the "dirty" moves.

Vale Tudo:
Kickboxing with grappling added.

Kali:
Our stick and knife fights also go to the ground.
For stick we use the deadly fang choke as well as several ground versions of our stick lox.
