5 Essential Drills
To start your Inayan Eskrima practice.
The Inayan System of Eskrima starts with Self Defense
These five drills are among the first things you learn in the Inayan Kadena De Mano Style of Eskrima, and they focus on giving the practitioner a set of skills for defending one self against an unrehearsed attack. We start with simple evasion and parrying and move toward gross motor functions that are reliable under stress to block and redirect attacks (Slap Down and Spear). The last drill is a complex defense, Foundation Drill #3. The recap and final exercise where you put it all together is a beginner’s drill for reflex training. Together these drills provide a perfect way for an instructor or group leader to start a group practicing the Inayan System of Eskrima.
