Introduction:

In 2008-2009, it occurred to me that there are only so many possible ways of moving the human body, thus all styles of martial arts could be compared in chart overlay form, redundancies removed, and all such styles learned much more efficiently, at the same time, without having to spend lifetimes mastering one, then switching to the next.

I tried explaining this easy/simple concept to a ‘friend’ (agent/minion, I later discovered) who was a martial arts student, but his brain lacked a necessary component or level of awareness/consciousness to grasp it, so I kept working on it by myself all these years; if even a multi-year martial artist couldn’t comprehend something that obvious about his own hobby/sport, then there was no sign indicating ANY martial artist could, either.

Today in Inisfree, this consolidated style-of-all-previous-styles is taught in all school grades/years, plus I have envisioned and drafted curricula for two variants of Tai Chi.

Uniform:

Inisfreean girls (ICVs) almost always fight naked.  They only wear the traditional white gi when they are helping a non-ICV learn a style which includes clothes-grabbing techniques.  When the ICVs do martial-arts stances/poses and/or moves in club/dance-settings, there is a diaphanous gi they can wear.

All non-ICV students in this subject are welcome to bring their own gi (made in Inisfree, kept in their closet at their home here in our realm).  For this reason, it is common to see gis of different styles and colors in the same class.  They do not always reflect the skill-level of the people wearing them; some black gis were chosen by students who just like that color, for example –so always look at the strip of fabric around their waists; their belt in our martial-arts classes does always tell their skill-level.

Years of Basics:

Students spend an entire year learning and practicing precisely how to punch in all the effective ways.  The same amount of time is devoted to mastering the basic appropriate kicks, blocks, throws, dodges, rolls, etc.  With this incredible foundation, we move on to more basics; the first templates/”forms”, etc.

Every year, only the most basic elements/components/moves focused on that year are allowed in the daily sparring matches.  Free-form/style is not part of sparring until complex masteries are gained and certified.  Even for students with previous/Outlands martial arts training/experience, taking our martial arts classes here means following this course progression; only balancing during year 1, then a year of mastering all types of punches, etc..

By the time any combos or other complexities are added to the daily in-class assignments, all the basics have been mastered and signed off on, and have become muscle-memory for years; balancing well is automatic, as is punching without risking hurting one’s own hand or wrist, etc..  This way, students only have to think about the sequence of moves they want to do, their muscle memory ensuring the little details of each of those moves happens on its own.  This keeps them free to focus much more on figuring out which style their opponent (sparring partner/s) is using, which moves their telegraphing suggests they will throw/use next, etc..

Our Own Styles:

  1. Tai Chi weaponized (focused on during our 19th school grade), abbreviated as WTC for Weaponized Tai Chi
    (imagine Dim Mak’s distance/remote evolution/variant; without requiring needles/penetration)
  2. Tai Chi for seduction/arousal (focused on during our 17th and 18th school grades), abbreviated as STC for Sexual Tai Chi
    (imagine the precision of Dim Mak, but always causing erogenous zones to be stimulated to the point of fantasy, orgasm, and even energy-gasm, all without having to make physical contact with the opponent/s)
  3. all styles combined (focused on during our 1st through 12th, and 14th through 16th school grades), abbreviated as FOA for Fusion Of All
    (similar in nature to Jeet Kune Do; a fusion of many styles of martial arts, but now even more eclectic and efficient than Jeet Kune Do)

Progression:

General:

  1. posture
  2. breathing
  3. blocks (not deflecting; just preventing damage)
  4. strikes/punches
  5. holds
  6. kicks
  7. jumps
  8. flips
  9. combos (such as ‘forms’)
  10. identifying an opponent’s style (in order to anticipate their moves, techniques, speed, who taught them, etc.)
  11. creating one’s own custom sub-style (based on zodiac-year, how one’s own body tends to move/react, etc.)

…

By School-year:

  1. Balancing
  2. Rolling
  3. Falling
  4. Blocking (start of Aikido training, even though that style is not hard-blocking, but pseudo-blocking more like deflecting and redirecting)
  5. Parrying (angled blocking, thus deflecting, paired with immediate counter)
  6. Punching
  7. Kicking
  8. Forms (sequences of footwork and other moves, such as a block/parry followed by a leg-sweep, but often several moves rapidly)
    –*so students learn what to expect from opponents studying various Outlands martial-arts styles,
    –and so students get used to moving in sequences which are most efficient at destabilizing and then immobilizing/neutralizing opponents (i.e. pre gun-katas)
  9. Pugil Sticks (padded bo/staff), Spartan Wrestling (basic skills of this sport)
    (and this is the first of 7 school-years which switches to the rainbow-based belt-colors sequence)
  10. Boxing (being limited to just blocks and punches at first, then progressing into kickboxing) –thus Jeet Kune Do elements this year
  11. Street Fighting, Grappling (grabbing and holding), Wrestling (all other defensive and offensive moves in this sport)
  12. Jousting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Grappling
  13. Exodus (practice on your own while outside our realm)
  14. Ninjutsu (focus on stealthiness even during sparring) –and Dim Mak this year
  15. Krav Maga (generally trying to overcome all opponents/hostiles within 30 seconds)
  16. Sayoc Kali (focus on “up close and personal” knife fighting; arguably the most dangerous style of martial arts)
  17. Tai Chi for sexual arousal and satisfaction
  18. Tai Chi for sexual arousal and satisfaction
  19. Tai Chi weaponized for no-contact combat; the stealthiest military martial art/s
  20. PhD-level mastery (not just full memorization, but able to instruct/coach newcomers and even fellow masters, even in occasional total darkness, and possibly contributing to the development of at least one move or tactic in one style)

…

2024 June 30 Sunday note:  Aikido, the preferred style of Steven Seagal, was developed to use an opponent’s attack momentum against them, without punches, kicks, blocks, or breaking their bones; it is more about flow and minimal response, not brutality or overkill.  The “blocks”, “holds”, “parrying”, and “forms” in the numbered lists above include many/all Aikido moves/techniques.

Belts:

Very much unlike Outlander realms, we don’t have a belts-system for each style of martial arts, all of which are outside our school/s; instead, martial arts in our realm is part of the core curriculum of our entire educational system –all the way up from Inisfree’s equivalent of preschool/kindergarten (the basics in our grade 1) to university life (the most advanced in our grades 17 through 20) –and some of our grade-levels have their own sequence of color-coded belts to outwardly-indicate skill-level.

The following lines and their respective bullet-notes describe how our martial-arts belts’ colors are subsets of the color of their school-year’s armband:

(Armbands indicate school grade, not martial-arts skills learned. Armbands are worn by any student (usu. just females), vs. martial-arts belts only worn by students taking our martial-arts course, and only when in a classroom teaching martial arts.)

    and belt colors based on human skin-tones; range of tans/complexions

    1. whitest “fair” skin color:  focus on review of all prev’ 15 school-years’ martial arts (refresher); Tai Chi for sexual arousal and satisfaction  (STC) this school-year
    2. barely sun-kissed; pale:  focus on medieval dance moves as distractions/setups for subtle martial-arts strikes/techniques (and same for all following dance-styles / genres of this and next school-year)
      –*b/c while unexpected sudden moves can cause flinching, cramps, and stumbling in opponents, smooth transitions between peaceful dance-moves show the full range of a sexy healthy body, thus stimulate the opponent/s to feel aroused often as much as almost-touches (‘fake-out’ caresses) can/do
    3. slightly tan:  focus on colonial
    4. mildly tan:  focus on ‘line’ (‘country’)
    5. somewhat tan:  focus on ‘square’ (‘country’)
    6. tan:  focus on krunk
    7. tanner:  focus on ballroom
    8. tannest before bronzed:  focus on ballet
    9. bronzed:  focus on belly
    10. light brown:  focus on strip-dancing
    11. brown:  focus on ‘dirty’
    12. dark brown:  focus on go-go (suggestive vogueing-infused while on platform in night-club)
    13. black:  focus on combo of all taught this school-year, plus adding in near-ear panting/whispering and other feather-light almost-contact techniques

    18th grade (2nd year at TNA):  armband pink,
    and belt colors based on pussy colors and other feminine colors; range of pinks

    1. pale pink:  focus on pole; Tai Chi for sexual arousal and satisfaction
    2. light pink:  focus on poi
    3. pink:  focus on breakdancing
    4. medium pink:  focus on hip-hop
    5. dark pink:  focus on ‘swing’
    6. rose:  focus on interpretive
    7. dark rose:  focus on capoeira
    8. light crimson:  focus on wushu
    9. crimson:  focus on acrobatics
    10. red-brown:  focus on aerial silk
    11. darker red-brown:  focus on those prev’ 10 month’s subsets now underwater
    12. darkest red-brown:  focus on those prev’ 10 month’s subsets now blindfolded
    13. black:  focus on those prev’ 10 month’s subsets now combined, plus making the ear-whisper and feather-light / almost-touches precisely near/over erogenous zones during the moments when those body-areas are most likely to be the most-easily stimulated
      (turning all dance styles into weaponized pleasure-based tools almost guaranteed to cause hands-free orgasms)

    19th (year of training at the NWO MIL TRNG Area):  armband red,
    and belt colors based on common camouflage colors (and the MCMAP colors)

    1. pale dusty green:  focus on range of motion when wearing modern body armor (flak jacket, Kevlar helmet, etc.); Tai Chi weaponized (WTC) for no-contact combat option this school-year
    2. light green (not lime):  focus on krav and sayoc kali review/s
    3. green:  focus on Jeet Kune Do (one of the most eclectic styles before our FOA)
    4. medium green:  focus on Keysi (Batman’s go-to)
      –and specialized training in countering night-sticks / police-batons, plus taking sidearms from cops, taking submachineguns from SWAT officers, anticipating and precisely countering all martial arts / take-downs cops and feds are taught, and same for all military incl. specwar troops/operatives (e.g. how to dodge when they controlled-fall on their backs to draw/shoot, and when they try quick-shooting while still holstered, or barely-unholstered)
    5. forest green:  focus on Gun Katas
    6. dark green:  focus on Dim Mak (often used to cause paralysis if not somewhat-prolonged death via heart / nervous-system overload)
      –*Throwing needles/pins is an advanced subset of throwing-daggers. (Even though Companions can use some hair-pins this way, TNA’s 2-year focus is STC, not WTC.)
    7. gray:  focus on hokuto shinken (“Big Dipper God Fist”, entirely based on not defense but assassination, and specifically from within the opponent/s / target/s; “next-level” Dim Mak; Dim Mak not just to overload/paralyze, but kill as quickly as possible, like Sayoc Kali but remote/projection/internal and without knives) –intro; concepts
    8. dark gray:  focus on hokuto shinken –simplest moves
    9. light brown:  focus on hokuto shinken –intermediate moves
    10. brown:  focus on hokuto shinken –advanced moves
    11. medium-dark brown:  focus on hokuto shinken –combo of all 3 levels of moves based on surprise target armor/environment (different types of clothing/body-armor, different lighting levels, etc.)
    12. dark brown:  focus on hokuto shinken –combo of all 3 levels of moves in a dynamic environment, such as while holding off bodyguards (threatening interference while still engaging/neutralizing the primary target/s)
    13. black:  focus on (no-sparring recovery after SERE training); light practice on own’s own, as able/desired

    20th grade; the final in our system:  armband black,
    and same belt-color the entire year; the pussy-pink-tan-blend colored one

    1. PhD-level mastery of all previous school-years’ martial-arts content/lessons; MMA taken to the highest level; ALL styles combined/used, not just those allowed by Outlander-MMA rules for regular/legal cage-fighting

    .

    Every one of those first 18 school-years culminates in earning a black belt, with our 19th year (grade 20) maintaining the pink-tan belt.

    ..

    Since our martial arts training combines all styles, and focuses on 1 style or type of move each month, and allows belt-progression once each month, our belt-colors do not represent skill-levels within one style, but experience with this full array of styles.

    We teach moves/techniques of the styles in order of difficulty.  This is why jiujitsu and wrestling moves earn (are paired with) white/lightest belts, while gun katas and ninjutsu are at the other end of this spectrum; they earn black belts.

    The first image shows the partially-outdated original/draft belt-colors system; now, most Batchling grade-levels (our school-years 1 through 10) have a sequence of colored belts based on the armband they wear each of those years (though school-years 9 and 10 have the rainbow-based sequence).
    The reason our belt-colors system got updated in 2023 is because the document in which it was originally drafted a decade or so ago… was simply a file format / program which didn’t have many colors available to ‘paint’ its chart fields, thus the few it had… were alternated/repeated (the rainbow-based sequence until TNA years).  Now we have much better (this webpage with its more-specific belt-colors descriptions).

    • grades 1 through 8, and grades 17, 18, and 19… x 12 unique belt colors = 132
    • grades 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 use the same 13 belt colors
    • grade 20:  only 1 belt color for the entire year
    • 132 + 13 + 1 = 146 belt colors in our martial arts system

     

    …

    2023 October note:  ICVs are naked except for their colored rank-belt (and sometimes armband; not necessary in this course, as it does not display skill-level / the level of skill the wearer is going to limit himself/herself to during sparring).

    …

    2024 September 25 Wednesday note:  Outlands belt-colors system

    • The martial-arts belt-colors sequence of Outlander-humans seemed poorly thought out, the explanations for that sequence sounding “like a stretch”, some explanations also confusingly similar for 2 or more of the colors,
      and it had 3 degrees/levels for its final belt (black), instead of just 2 more belt colors beFore that belt.
      It also skipped red, pink, and purple, without explanation –possibly contributing to its confusing multi-degree black-belt tier.
    • Starting with just white and black (when first conceived centuries ago), it went from that 2-colors system…
      to 6 colors, until brown was added, making 7,
      but technically a 9-belts system when counting the black-belt degrees,
      with an easy potential to be a 12-belts system when including red, pink, and purple.
    • rather odd sequence:  white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black
      with Judo having a belt above black; red-and-white

    Three iterations of our belt-colors system:

    1. 1st was reaching black belt every 13 months for 15 years
    2. 2nd was having a 15-colors sequence based on white to black, with red to purple in the middle
    3. 3rd is using the armbands sequence

    Each month’s belt (in our realm/system) is worn that entire month, thus you start with a belt; you don’t have to study for months or years before earning your first colored belt.  Our belt-colors indicate what you are focused on / studying, not just what you have learned/mastered.

    Returning to a white belt more than once reminds students to revisit all the basics, never focusing too much on the advanced stuff.

    Since grades 1 through 8, and 17 and 18, have only slight color differences between their monthly belts, those and almost all other belts have a number on them in black, except for white on black belts,
    that black number on each colored belt indicating which month they are for,
    and the white number on each black belt indicating which year the given belt is for,
    with no number on grade-20’s belt.
