Well, I can't give you a complete breakdown since I don't know the complete system. However, it is comprised of 18 base jurus (short hand forms) and 7 higher jurus (25 in all). Then there are langkahs (footpaths) ... I'm not sure exactly how many but I'm sure of 6, there may be more. These are the foundation of the system. Then there are weapons jurus too. This is just the tip of the iceberg but that's all I can really elaborate on because that's all I'm familiar with.
Yes, it is a brutal, streetfighting style ... but, like anything, it's only a tool and is only as effective as the person using it.
Your best bet for getting in-depth answers to these types of questions would be to visit the school and talk to Pak Vic directly ... or, better yet, take some classes
