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.

Dodging is Fundamental 🚨
One of the most important distinctions in martial arts: dodging isn't retreating.
The teaching lineage of Mangisursuro Mike Inay put this at the foundation — be out of the way, not out of the room. That takes real skill: real footwork, real body angulation. You build it by training with tools — swords, knives, sticks, and empty hands — so the principles become instinct regardless of the situation.

My father, the late Mangisursuro Mike Inay, always emphasized self-defense that works — not tournament sport, not movie choreography, but technique you can execute under pressure when it matters most.
This is one of those techniques. When someone throws a wide overhand right at you, don't try to block it. Cover your head, get into the clinch, headbutt, ear clap if you're there, and drive your knee to the groin. Simple. Brutal. Effective.
That's the Inayan Eskrima approach to street fighting.

Why do I love teaching disarms in Filipino Martial Arts?
Because they teach so much more than just how to take the weapon. Every disarm rep builds your grip mechanics, trains your wrist locks, and sharpens your defensive awareness — all at once.
This is the art I train and teach. The system founded by my father, Mangisursuro Mike Inay, and passed down through our family. Technique, culture, and heritage in one art.

This is the Cross Block Counter from Inayan Serrada Eskrima — my favorite stick block.
My father, Mangisursuro Mike Inay, passed this technique down to me. He learned it from Grand Master Angel Cabales. Three moves: block, swap, bring it down and strike. In training we target the shoulder; in application, the target is the head and temple.
I love this counter because it's reliable. And if your martial arts isn't reliable, there's no reason to train it.

Every technique has a counter. That is not a motivational line — it is a tactical reality.
In this clip, I walk through three escalating counters to the ice pick snake disarm, a core technique in the art that Mangisursuro Mike Inay built and that we carry forward at Bay Area School of Eskrima.
Counter A: Pummel and circle the wrist, thread through, trap for the stab — or pluck and stab
Counter B: When they raise to block — pummel and pluck to pin the hand, stab the back of it. If that gets blocked, switch hands.
Counter C: The geometry pull — do not let them corkscrew the disarm. As they twist, simply pull and you get your cut back.
There is always a counter. Comment SAFETY if you want to learn this system.

Reaction: FMA in the NFL.
Aaron Donald is walking a younger lineman through hand-fighting — pairing and checking,
clearing the arm, taking the inside line. Anyone who has drilled peri peri in Inayan
Eskrima will recognise it immediately: it is the same problem, solved the same way, just
at 300lb and full speed.
This is the empty-hand layer of the system Mangisursuro Mike Inay built. We teach it at
Bay Area School of Eskrima.
Watch it and tell me whether you see the drill.

Don’t train just to FIGHT!

"Drillers are killers."
This Filipino Martial Arts empty-hand drill looks simple on the surface — but it contains four critical fighting concepts: inside parry, neutralizing the second punch, arm break entry, and trap from the outside (the instructor's favorite element).
Taught in the tradition of Mangisursuro Mike Inay, founder of the Inayan Eskrima system, this is how we develop empty-hand fighters at Bay Area School of Escrima.

Can you actually disarm someone threatening you with a knife? Here's the honest answer from Inayan Eskrima.
Three things Grandmaster Mangisursuro Mike Inay's system teaches about weapon disarming:
1. Disarms are a TECHNIQUE OF OPPORTUNITY — your attacker must fully commit to a strike. If they dab and retract, the window closes.
2. Disarms are HIGHLY TECHNICAL — grip, force, and blade contact angle all matter. Force must go against the flat of the blade or you injure yourself.
3. Disarms are TOTALLY DOABLE — but only with dedicated practice under the right instruction.
We teach this at the Bay Area School of Eskrima in Los Angeles, California.
