Abecedarian to Guro
From beginning through advanced curriculum — with the primary aims of practical self-defense and perpetuating the authentic arts.
Lineage Intact. Personal Expression Encouraged.
Foundational principles to advanced concepts, movement, traditions and philosophy.
Presented as it was learned, in-depth, with the spirit and culture that embody the techniques. Filipino Martial Arts, Jun Fan / JKD, Maphilindo Silat, and Muay Thai — taught in sequence, with depth, with philosophy and culture alongside every technique.
Structured progression. Authentic lineage.
The Legacy track is for students who want to go deep — not only in understanding the techniques, but in the lineage and history, and in improving themselves physically and spiritually through the study of martial arts. Structured around the actual phase curriculum of the Inosanto lineage, with skill acknowledged at each stage of progression. The traditions, philosophy, and culture of these arts are transmitted alongside the techniques — because they cannot honestly be separated from them.
Each discipline in the Legacy curriculum is complete in itself — and each deepens your understanding of the others. They are taught as an integrated system, not as separate, siloed classes.

Panantukan is the Filipino boxing system drawn from the empty-hand portion of Kali — known as Pangamut, meaning "of the hand." Popularized as Dirty Boxing in modern MMA, Panantukan blends orthodox and eclectic striking using fists, hammer-fists, open-hand strikes, elbows, knees, shins, and even the head — a complete and battle-tested approach to empty-hand combat.
