Inayan Eskrima - The Martial Art with an “edge”…
WITH STRENGTH AND RIGHT
The Inayan School of Eskrima (ISE) is a passionate group of men and women dedicated to learning and sharing the Filipino Martial Art of Inayan Eskrima. The Filipino Martial Arts uniquely ingrains an interrelationship between weapon and empty-hand skills and is widely recognized in the martial arts community for its practicality and effectiveness in self defense or combat situations. With an emphasis on mindset training, Inayan Eskrima provides students with practical defensive capabilities needed in todays unpredictable world and offers a lifetime of meaningful growth for the serious practitioner.
our school
We are proud to be the longest running Inayan Eskrima institution in the world.
One of the foremost authorities on the Art of Inayan Eskrima: Tagaturo Steven Klement established the ISE in Knoxville on July 1st, 1995 in order to preserve and propagate Inayan Eskrima as it was taught to him by the System’s Founder, Mangisursuro Michael G. Inay.
“THE ART IS A GIFT”
training
-
Serrada means "to close" or "close quarters". This style is noted for using a single baton and quick, linear, in-close fighting designed to shut down the opponent’s attack. This blade and stick style also translates well into empty-hand applications.
-
KADENA DE MANO “chain of hand”, is a combination of empty-hand and blade techniques. Lock/flow/trap drills, disarms, and takedowns are stressed as well as subject control through the use of pressure sensitive nerves.
-
LARGO MANO "long hand" is a long-range system. Evolved to use a sword-length cane, staff (sibat), or spear (bangkow). Inayan Largo Mano, is the first complete formal style teaching the use of the Kampilan: the traditional longsword of the Philippines..
-
SINAWALI means “to weave” is a dual weapon style. The weapons are usually of equal length and are used in set offensive and defensive patterns. At the ISE, we explore many different types of Sinawali. Students benefit by becoming more focused and coordinated.
-
ESPADA Y DAGA “sword and dagger” utilizes two weapons of different length and focuses on blocking and positioning an opponent into a trapped or locked position.
-
DEQUERDAS “to chord” is a quickly learnable and highly reliable style focusing on reinforced weapon blocking and counter striking and disarming.
