"The [Inay(an)] System (of Eskrima) is Complete" ~ Mangisursuro Inay 1944-2000
Had the honor of teaching a flexible weapon seminar tonight at Oneida/Green Bay hosted by Master Schoenebeck here in Wisconsin. Was a great deal of fun to present some new ideas and material to this great group of Eskrimadors.
It is a requirement to have a proficiency in flexible and semi-flexible weapons prior to becoming a Guro in the Inayan System of Eskrima per my Dad, Mangisursuro Mike Inay.
I use the time working on flexible weapons to show some great drills on developing skill with flexible weapons, as well as presenting some of the philosophy regarding being flexible and adaptable.
I especially enjoyed presenting material that would be usefull in self defense and street fighting. Tonight's seminar worked on basic body and structure control as well as some entanglements.
Thanks for everyone who participated.
Keep Training

What an eye opener
This was a great seminar, I am glad I had the opportunity to attend. Having this in your arsenal can greatly increase your ability to defend yourself with what looks like an very unassuming object. I LOVE the concept of using something so simple to defend or attack with.
As always it was a pleasure to work and learn from Suro Jason, I just wish he was in our area more often.
Flexible weapons
