(865) 599-1005 At the Inayan School of Eskrima you will find a passionate group of men and women learning and sharing this beautiful Martial Art that originated in the Philippines. The art has a very long history of combat effectiveness and differs from other Martial Art disciplines as the student is typically taught to train with weapons at the onset of training , rather than beginning with empty-hands training. Inayan Eskrima ingrains an interrelationship between weapon and empty-hand skills and because of this training philosophy, is widely recognized in the martial arts community for its extreme practicality and effectiveness in self defense or combat situations. While providing a student with solid defense abilities in a relatively short period of time, it is also a complex art that can offer a lifetime of challenge and personal growth to the serious practitioner.
