Krabi - the short swords, represented by the Kali sticks - applied Single and Double

Krabong - the short spear, represented by the Jo staff


This is the first Art we add to our KALI, as it compliments and expands our practice

------------------


JAPANESE KOBUDO - JAP-KOB - descended from the Samurai systems


Sword

- we do not take anything from Modernised Kendo system, the kata, or the sparring exercises in armour with shinai

- we have the Seitei gata from Iaijutsu, some gata from the Traditional schools - and we practice the application

- we have the Sword Suburi and Kumi Tachi from Daito Ryu, the Aiki Sword


Jo

- Seitei Jo from Shinden Muso Ryu

OKINAWAN KOBUDO - OB-KOB


Bo staff and Tonfa - part of our Karate practice, and links with the 8 Step drill

Nunchaku - the Kihon and their applications


We also have applications for the Kama and Sai weapons

We do not learn and practice the Okinawan Kata for these Weapons



-----------------------


CHINESE KUNG FU

Bart Charm Dao Swords and Kwane pole

These have a form each, the application of which is a KUMI type drill against the other Weapon

These are based on and expand our Wing Chun practice

We do not learn and practice the Form, just the drills and application




--------------


KENPO

We cover the list of techniques from Form 7 the Double Stick form and Form 8 the Double Knife form

We cover the Club and Staff set applications

Unarmed Combat

 

Unarmed Combat


KEMPO JUJUTSU


The strikes of KEMPO backed up the the locks, throws, takedowns, and groundwork of JUJUTSU


For KEMPO what we do is the list of 156 Kempo techniques - our primary area of interest

Sometimes we run through these in order, sometimes we group them, eg Punch Defences, Stick Defences, etc


Kenpo Karate as a system involves learning and practicing the Forms, which we do not do
- we are not developing a complete Karate or Kenpo system, we use the strikes then add the Jujutsu, which creates KEMPO JUJUTSU as a fully Functional system


(We do cover the list of techniques from Form 7 the Double Stick form and Form 8 the Double Knife form, and this flows with our KALI stick and knife practice - and we cover the Club and Staff set applications )


The Freestyle Kenpo sets

The Unarmed Kenpo sets in application - stance, block, strike, finger, kicks, coordination


KEMPO TD takedowns

Some Kenpo sets, particular the extensions, have a TD which ends with the opponent face up or face down - the KENPO finish is to use strikes, primarily kicks and stomps

To make a Kempo Jujutsu sequence, we would finish a JJ grappling way

- Aiki pin

- Judo pin into choke or armbar

- JJ Combative, take mount, side mount, submission


From a NINPO set TD we could finish with a Kempo stomp or go into a JJ Newaza

Strictly speaking, a NINJA finish would be to dump METSUBISHI on the face, or take out and use a blade for a kill finish


For a SILAT sequence with a TD, we can go into one of these three finish Strategies




-------------------------


KARATE

Gohon Kumite, the Five Step drill which links to the Krabi Five Step and Kumi Weapons stepping

Sanbon Kumite, the three step drills

We take Kihon Ippon Kumite and Jiyu Ippon Kumite from Shotokan

We do not learn and practice the Karate Kata, however we do take some of the "bunkai" application sequences - as well as Shotokan, we have Shotokai "bunkai" which are different and some more detailed

We do the same with the Goju Katas

We take the Kumite sets from Kyokushinkai, as well as some of their Sparring structure such as the Clicker Knockdown Continuous format

The first sets of the Kihon Ippon and Jiyu Ippon Kumite form the basis for Karate free kumite sparring, which flows direct into KICKBOXING PHASE

The Kyokishin sets are directly used for Karate Kumite Sparring in the KB phase

Kumite sets 2 to 5 are practiced as Kempo sets, and form the basis for the Street/Self Defence application of Karate

SPARRING


Trad Karate - kicks to head, leg and body - all punches to body - light contact in competition

Boxing

Trad Kickboxing - all punches and kicks above belt - full contact in competition

Standard Kickboxing - our regular sparring includes the low kicks - Karate and Boxing combined

Savate - same as standard kickboxing - structure different in competition - kick "fencing" as much as kick "boxing

Muay Thai - knees and elbows allowed in competition - structure different due to closer "8 weapons" and the use of shin
