Once almost a dying art, once hidden away in secrecy and reserved only for eldest sons of Filipino families, the Filipino Martial Arts are known by many names and all of them speak to the spirit and culture of the Filipino. This is the page of the Inay Family's form of Eskrima, the Inayan System of Eskrima. The Inayan Training Organization is the sole organization Mangisursuro Mike Inay e

stablished to represent and organize the people involved in his systm of Martial Arts known as the Inayan System of Eskrima. His successor is Suro Jason Inay. Welcome.

When someone throws rapid repeated punches — what Suro Jason Inay calls the "empty-hand sewing machine" — covering up alone won't save you.

The Inayan Eskrima response is precise: absorb the first barrage, then strike to interrupt the tempo, dive/redirect to destroy their structure, and finish with the knee.

This is the kind of technique we drill at our Los Gatos location because real-world attacks don't wait for perfect conditions. The sewing machine attack is one of the most common street assault patterns — you need an answer you can actually execute under adrenaline.

Most people cover up when someone grabs them and throws a hockey punch.

That's exactly the wrong move.

In a real street altercation, covering gives your attacker control and positioning. The Inayan Eskrima counter: redirect the grab → drive a headbutt to kill the punch at the source → elbow to break posture → finish with the knee.

This is the kind of technique we drill at our Los Gatos location because real defense has to work under stress, without gear, without rules.

In a street confrontation, where your eyes go determines everything.

Most people naturally look at someone's face or hands — but those are easy to fake. The chest tells you what the whole body is about to do. And if you look slightly to the side, you can see their hands, feet, AND what's happening around you all at once.

This is one of the foundational skills we teach at the Bay Area School of Eskrima in Los Gatos.

This finishing combination comes from Grandmaster Max Sarmiento — my father's teacher.

Off a straight punch: parry and strike to the temple (disrupts balance), then a low body strike to finish. Two movements. Practical, direct, and something anyone can learn.

Never make this mistake in a street fight. 🥊
A big wind-up tells your attacker everything — it's easy to read. Go straight: eyes, solar plexus, groin. Quick. Effective. Done.

Someone following you to your car? Don't walk faster — that's how you get cornered.

Turn. Keys out. Hands up: "BACK UP." If he closes in — off-line, strike to the eyes, get to people and light. Park near the lights.

This one move ends most street fights — immediately.

Most people freeze when violence finds them. The Inayan "dirty trick" is built for that moment: first strike, control the throat, turn him, walk away. No flash, no ego — just what works. This is the system my father, Mangisursuro Mike Inay, entrusted to me.

That ‘s rough

Dangerous isn’t loud. Dangerous is quiet and prepared

For the family 👇 A thumb gouge isn't pretty — but when someone's on top of you and nothing else works, it creates the one second you need to escape. Would you use it to get home?
