I just finished reading an article in Filipino Martial Arts (Vol. 2 # 6) about a reception for Suro Jason Inay and a brief mention on how he plans to continue Mangisursuro Mike Inay life's work in leading and spreading the gospel of the Inayan System of Eskrima throughout the world. The question I have is that the author of the article mentioned that the system is a combination of 2 styles, Grandmaster Max Sarmiento's Kadena de Mano and Grandmaster Angel Cabales' Serrada. This prompted me to visit www.inayan.com and one page of the website it says the system is made up of 3 styles and on another page it lists 7. Can someone with authority in the system (Ray, Suro Inay) clear up this matter. Thanks.

One place it is explained is in the FMA FAQ at: http://www.martialartsresource.com/anonftp/pub/eskrima/digests/fmafaq.htm Inayan System of Eskrima Mike Inay (1944-2000) The Inayan System of Eskrima is composed of six FMA systems, with three core systems. The primary core system within the Inayan System of Eskrima is Serrada, as taught to Suro Mike Inay over many years of study with Serrada's Grandmaster Angel Cabales. Suro Inay also studied extensively under Grandmaster Max Sarmiento (founder of Kadena de Mano) and was the first recognized Master of Kadena de Mano under GM Sarmiento. Each system in the Inayan System is taught in its entirety, following the methodology of teaching the pure art first, then allowing each student develop their own composite personal style. The Inayan System is more blade oriented than stick oriented. The following are the six systems taught in the Inayan System: 1) Serrada Eskrima as taught by the late GM Angel Cabales in the mid-1960s and 1970s. - - see style description elsewhere in this FAQ 2) Kadena De Mano - - see style description elsewhere in this FAQ 3) Sinawali - - see style description elsewhere in this FAQ 4) Inayan Dequerdas - - Inayan Dequerdas is a mid-range style stressing female-triangle footwork and strong augmented blocks. 5) Espada y Daga - - see style description elsewhere in this FAQ 6) Inayan Larga Mano - - A long range system of Eskrima. Evolved to use a longer/heavier cane (~40") and to use the cane as if it were a Kampilan, the longest sword found in the Philippines. This style is credited as being the first complete formal style to teach the use of the Kampilan. (The Kampilan was the weapon use by Lapulapu to kill Ferdinand Magellan in 1521.) The Inayan System of Eskrima also employs the following in varying degrees: Solo/Doble Baston (single/double stick), Solo/Doble Punyal (single/double dagger), Sipat (kicks), Sibat/Bankow (staff/spear), Pamuok (hand-to-hand fighting), Lipad-lipad (bow/arrow, blowgun), Dumog (wrestling), Vital Points, Firearms. ------------------------------ From: "Elite Self Defense Centers" Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 09:42:27 -0500 Subject: eskrima: Filipino Martial Arts Magazine Everyone should check out the current Filipino Martial Arts Magazine Vol.2 No.6.
