Close Range Arts

 

There are 9 actual Close Range Arts that we apply techniques from out of hubud and 3 ref points:

outside lead arm
inside lead arm
inside rear arm

obviously if you moved to the outside of the rear arm you would just switched sides and would now be in the outside lead arm ref on the opposite side

the CRAs:
wrist lox
elbow lox
chokes
HKE
dumog
Tai chi
sweeps
tom atemi
HIA traps

we separate the wrist lox from the elbow lox and treat each one as an art or method rather than looking at "arts" such as jujutsu, taijutsu and chin na and all their variations - it is the lock itself and how it is applied in the fight at that range that is important not a "system" or "martial art"

kinomutai the biting art is the tenth art and a supplemental study as it's something you apply with the trapping and grappling
