Inayan-Eskrima, or Bay Area School of Eskrima (BASE), is an authentic, particle, and welcoming school of martial arts. Suro Jason Inay operates his school with pride, weaving serious, time-earned wisdom and crackpot humor into fun and engaging lessons. His mastery of teaching can be found in the quality of his students, who reflect the values of his school and martial competence. The group feels like a tightly knit family who prize respect for one another than a rigid tradition overly concerned with rules and etiquette. In simplest terms, training at BASE is fun, exciting, sometimes terrifying, but real. For anyone with a martial mind and an artist’s spirit, BASE feels like coming home.

If I only lived in Bay Area, I would have chosen this school to learn Filipino Martial Arts. However, I am glad they have online platforms to learn from so I am not missing out. I am very lucky to have learned from Suro Jason not just self defense techniques but also life survival skills that can be navigated with FMA. I will make sure to visit again! 😄

Great class. It is a very practical approach to self defense. Simple effective moves that allow you to end a confrontation or get away from your attacker.

I've been learning from Jason Inay for 26 years at this point, and I'm still learning. I've found Jason's teaching to meet me where I'm at physically, mentally, emotionally; the curriculum speaks to my desire for both physical exertion, and intellectual engagement. ... and we also do cool stuff with sticks and knives, all from day one :)

The Inayan System of Eskrima is not just a series of techniques and drills done for the sake of “muscle memory” or blind faith and hope that you’ll be prepared for some fantastical event choreographed in your head. It is a systematic approach to learning principles that will prepare you for real world violence. The system teaches us to see and disassemble patterns and shapes of movement, rearranging their component parts in order to structure responses to evolving conflicts across different ranges, tactics and toolsets. Form is taught but form is not the teaching. This is a meta-art and instantaneous adaptation is the motto. You cannot possibly plan for all scenarios but you also cannot hope to adapt to any if you don’t have a method of breaking free from programmed responses, unconscious limitations and regurgitation. It is a post-grad for the modern warrior.

As a martial artist with over 20 years of experience, I was blown away by the quality and effectiveness of Suro Jason Inay's Eskrima instruction. The art is highly systematic, with smart training modalities that allow students to develop practical self-defense skills lighting fast. Suro Jason Inay's masterful teaching style combines physical technique with mental and strategic preparation, creating a well-rounded approach to self-defense. He blends intensity with humor, making training both challenging and compelling. The art is historically grounded yet continuously adapting to the modern world, focusing on practical training that makes it artistic, brutal, and highly effective all at once. Stop hesitating and go try out a class!

Jason Inayan is one of the best martial arts teachers ever! He is clear concise and has carried on the traditions of his family art. The Inayan system of Escrima is a powerful art and will have you defending yourself faster than any art I know of.

I’ve have had the pleasure of training under Suro Inay for almost a year now, and it’s continues to be a powerful experience. The lessons go way beyond techniques — I learn about awareness, mindset, resilience, and how to stay sharp under pressure. Suro has a strong presence and a style that pushes you to grow, and it comes from a place of care and commitment to your progress. He’s built a tight-knit community of people who are serious about learning Filipino Martial Arts and willing to put in the work. This is a return to martial arts for me, and I’m genuinely excited for the growth ahead. If you’re looking for real training with real guidance, this is the place!

As a student of Jason Inay I strongly recommend his teachings. Suro Inay is an excellent instructor that not only teaches martial arts, but beyond that through mindset and real world skills. He is extremely qualified and a very welcoming person. If you are interested in martial arts this where you should go.
