Well, not Inayan per se, but my style (Defensor Method) incorporates a lot of Serrada stuff, which is where Inay derived a lot of his material, so there are a lot of overlaps.

Of course, this can be said about all the FMAs. My friends and I have a joke about this:

How many Filipino martial artists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Twelve (of course) - one to do it, and the other eleven to say "hey! we do something kinda like that".

*grin*

Then, to digress, there's how many Thai boxers it takes to put in a light bulb: Two, one to hold the bulb in place, and one to POUND it into the socket with his shin

I initially trained with Suro Jason Inay then moved to Guro Jon Wards. Very different teaching styles.

Hey Fred, Who do you train under in Inayan? A guro from the frosty north wants to know.

I received training in what I call modified Inayan Eskrima for 2 years under my older cousin, who received full instruction from my great uncle Ray, an early student ranked Guro under Guro Mike Inay. I trained for 2 solid years. I am still a practitioner, though I am currently receiving instruction in the Garimot system. Boy, let me tell you, whoever says that all Escrima is the same, has yet to witness the alien footwork and stickwork of this system! To me, it's alien. I've only had 1 lesson thus far, but am enjoying it immensely! (If interested in learning more about this system, visit www.garimot.com). To note, I believe my great uncle Ray is/was half of "Macias-Subega Fighting Systems", which incorporate old-style Kenpo with Inayan, anything more than that, I don't know (I don't know him very well, as my family is so spread out). I added this info in case anybody has information on it, please pass it on to me! I myself am aspiring to incorporate Silat/Kuntaw/Kuntao into the whole of my martial training. To note, training in Serrada, then meeting others who train in different Escrima/Kali systems, it is apparent that there is a percentage of people who are either misinformed in regard to Serrada as we understand it here in Northern California, and/or how devastating it truly is. I say: Serrada brothers and sisters, ACTIVATE! Form of: medium-sized kamagong stick! Shape of: ass kicking Serrada person who swings their shit fast as lightning! Hahahaha :P

PS- Hmm Defensor Method huh? I'm gonna have to check that out! I'm always researching!

Peace, ~John.
