STMA Spring Camp 2020 - Sunday 29th March

 

SUMMARY

Weirdest weather patterns ever - clear blue sky then hail and snow twice, cold winds, and then some warmth when the sun came back out

No weapons were covered on this Camp, with the premise we will look to cover Weapons and Weapons defence later in the year, possibly Summer Camp in August

With no Class at this time and all training being evening Grass, this was an extension as well as expansion of what is currently being practiced

KEMPO basic sets with some add ons

TAIJUTSU taken from

GYOKKO Ryu
KOTO Ryu
SHINDEN FUDO Ryu DAKEN Taiutsu
KUKKI SHINDEN Ryu DAKEN TaiJutsu

As Kuki Shinden is primarily a Weapons school, we looked at how the Dakentaijutsu of this Ryu is based on the Weapons movements and strategies, with attacks of four or five punch, kick and grab combinations as opposed to the single or double punch attacks in KOPPO Jutsu

We also covered Takamatsu Sensei's method for nullifying JUDO throws - how a NINJA would make the entire art of Judo useless in the Close Quarter VG range - KOSHI Kudaki, the Waist Destroyer, often referred to as NAGE Kudaki, Throw Destroyer

We covered KEN Kudaki and KERI Kudaki against the Punch and Kick respectively

Apart from basic rolling and the odd TD we avoided any GROUND while we had the changing weather
