Sunday March 29 was the scheduled Spring Camp, 3 hours on the Grass - changing weather meant sun, some snow, some hail, some rain, wind and clouds
Monday 18 May and Monday 25th May, the Bank Holiday were full on 3 hour multi skill Camps in their own right
We have done a lot of day sessions, and have included KB pads and drills, as well as weapons sessions - evenings sessions on the Grass, and under the Canopy, and a cold rainy day under the Canopy - most of these have been two hours, sometimes we extended into the third hour
As well as the three Camps, we did 26 extra sessions over the 8 week period
Moving into June, the intention is to carry on with the regular session Monday 7.30pm
We would look to continue this session until mid-late September while weather allows
Opening a venue Dojo will depend on various factors, in particular availability - we would look to have a Dojo open by the end of Summer latest before the autumn evenings set in
We have always had the STMA Summer Camp in mid August so will look to do so in 2020
In 2019 we updated and streamlined the WC Series - we did work on some of this at the time and will look to cover more of the trapping and applications over the Season

It is worth taking some time to go through the old posts on the Feng Wei/WingChun/Jun Fan board, some go back to 2009, and are relevant today, especially in what we are currently covering as Street applications of everything:
shirotoratiger.proboards.com/board/3/feng-wei-wing-chun-jun
Some of the original ideas for naming a new system:
AFA - Applied Fighting Arts
S.P.A.R.K.S or S.P.A.R.C.S stands for Scientific Progressive Aggressive Response Combat Systems
A lot of the Street and SD stuff we never moved anywhere else:
Self defence against punch
The IJ - the eye jab
The shin kick
The KO - the Power Punch
The Power Kick
The Power Slap - The “Shocker”
Biting
The First Rule of Self Defence
The Law
Rapid Assault Tactics - RAT
The Straight Blast
Interception
PEs - Pre-emptive strikes
Gun defence
Groin strike
and the sub board on CRA - the Close Range Arts

ATEMI
As we are looking at more Ju Jutsu, both Standing, Shoot, and Ground this Season, we also want to consider the Atemi strikes
There is nothing here we don't already have in Kempo, the important thing is not abandon Kempo to go into a "wrestling / grappling " phase
The strikes change the game, as we have seen
Watch the UFC clips - but remember the most important point , we are not training for the Cage, we are training for the Street
Pisao - to Clinch
Heel kick - against BH
Side elbow - against standing choke - before waki gatame
Power Slap standing
Shuto standing
Throw to palm heel Teisho
Throw to stomp kick
Against shoot - knee - before guillotine
Grab - body knee
In Guard def - palm strike, elbow, head
Guard
heel to kidney and thigh
Mawashi ken
Face stomp kick
Double stomp kick get up
Mount turnover Palm strike
Mount arm bar hammer

Notes I made after a Friday evening Grass session:
part of the training is using the environment and that includes the darkness and the weather - too much is relied on the artificial conditions of a Dojo or studio in modern times
Ninja training always used to be outdoors in the dark, as that's where the actual fights and missions took place - this is not like the Samurai, or any other culture's armies, who arranged a battle and waited until the sun came up, after breakfast, before starting the battle - the Ninja way is to kill the enemy the night before the battle
Modern military, from the SAS to the Navy SEALS (and the covert units you have never heard of) take advantage of night and natural conditions for Commando Assault
In modern Street fighting and Self Defence, though fights do happen during the day, chances are you will be fighting outside the chip shop at night - if you are a Bouncer, which is where most of our modern applications come from, all your fights will be at night, outside under street lamps, or in a dark club
In ancient times, one did not build a Dojo and training tools, one used the "things of nature"

The weekly Class summary and the working through the NEXT list have detailed the progression on the Grass over the Summer
The original plan for 2020 was to do what we did in 2016, the regular Dojo session with a secondary Grass session over the Summer evenings
As it turned out, due to the weird circumstances, we did what we did in 2015, all Grass training - this also included days for the first part, and the usual Spring and Summer Camps flowed in
The allowed us to source the NINJA Ryuha in more depth than we had intended or would have been able to - and to do far more with JUJUTSU including TDS and a lot of NEWAZA Ground
Next week we return to DOJO training at our new venue
Back to our proven format
KALI - Sticks, knife
Unarmed - Kempo, JJ and Koppo
KICKBOXING - Pads Drills and Sparring
We will be doing more with the links between KEMPO and KOPPO
Kempo Free Form - linking SD to KB
Newaza drills - adapted to the wood and STREET
JKD - for the first time in a few years, directly sourcing JKD for Interception, for STREET and how it applies moving in KB phase
KB - a return to the drilling and sparring
SILAT - this is the next Art we intend to Source - how much we do now or later depends on how things go
NEXT SUMMER - it may seem a bit early, however when you train over years and decades, you do tend to plan ahead - on the presumption that the regular Class, Monday Kenley at this time, is still going well, we can look at the 2016 model for 2021 and add evening Grass as a second session, the massive advantage is we can now build on the long summer of training covered in 2020
So the next chapter, for Autumn 2020, is the new Kenley Dojo
This is the 4th STMA Dojo following on from Caterham, Shirley, and the two chapters at Sanderstead, since 2009
The Grass training at the Circle has been our constant
Next year 2021 will be the 13th year of STMA
- and our new Chapter starts NOW
