Smith Martial Sciences Eastern Martial Arts study is based primarily off Shintoyoshinkai Combat Jujutsu (American Budokai International) and Shuri Ryu Karate-do.

Shintoyoshinkai Combat Jujutsu consists of 6 areas of endeavor:

1. Ukemi
2. Atemi
3. Nage
4. Waza
5. Katamewaza
6. Kimenokata

These areas culminate into a self defense system with the guiding principle – “Stop, Shock, Takedown and Control”

Shuri Ryu Karatedo is a system whose ciriculum, unbroken since it’s founding by Robert Trias, represents the major cultures that bred and grew Karate into the art known worldwide today. Kata are taken from the 3 major Okinawan systems:

• SHURI-TE: Naifanchi (Tekki) Shodan, Nidan, and Sandan. Passai (Bassai) Dai. Ku-Shanku (Kanku) Sho.
• NAHA-TE: Sanchin. Tensho.
• TOMARI-TE: Wanshu (Enpi, Empi). Niseishi (Nijushi-ho) Nandan Sho. Ananku.

Trias Shuri Ryu further divides the system into kata exploration methods that start with basic movement interpretations (Bunkai) and graduate to self defense interpretations (Go Shin Do).
