Instructor
Credentials:
*
12+ years of training and 3
instructor certifications. *
8+ years teaching experience
and promoting students to Apprentice Instructor. *
Able to organize and conduct
specialized training seminars. *
Support of an international
organization for materials, insight, ongoing instruction and referral. *
Proper form and stance of
techniques to minimize personal injury. *
Correct striking and
blocking technique to eliminate damage to practitioner caused by
improper training. First and foremost, my goal is to spread the art of Inayan Eskrima to as many people as possible. I have been a practitioner of this art since 1992 and have never lost my love or fascination for its diversity, simplicity and effectiveness. Truly, this is an art that anyone can learn and be effective at. I want to introduce and share this fabulous experience with you. I spend time training each and every student, and get to know everyone I train both personally and professionally. I take a personal interest in the development of every student that trains under me, and has a desire to learn this amazing and awe inspiring art. I practice the “first assumption” with all students…that the individual is an intelligent, motivated and capable individual. I will teach to the student the techniques of Inayan Eskrima, along with the theory of how each technique works and why. What I give is a deeper understanding of how the art works, and not just a series of motions that “should” work. This is the gift I give. It is my goal to bring the best out of all my students…to give them more than just technique and form, but also style, effectiveness, understanding and confidence. It is my gift to the student. Class-time is where we not only train, but we better ourselves, support each other, challenge one another, and become skilled. This art is effective in a myriad of situations and scenarios with simple to complex techniques depending on the practitioner, but most of all it teaches the practitioner to be adaptive to situations, and to recognize and respond accurately and quickly to threats. This level of training is what instills confidence in the student and changes their presence. My goal is to have students that “walk tall” and this is how I give that gift.
We are a very social group that has a common bond…the
training and interest in the art. We plan social events as a group
during non-class times, and will also plan gatherings with other
Inayan Eskrima schools and instructors. There is a strong sense of
family in the
IFE…a bond of
brotherhood. -

NEW! - "I have been training in Inayan Eskrima for 3 years. I love this school's Eskrima because, it doesn’t forget the martial, in being a martial art. It is dedicated to the training and promotion of competent Stick fighters, and fighters in general. Inayan Eskrima has given me focus, and made someone who thought he would never be able to stand 3 seconds in the ring, confident in himself. Inayan Eskrima has definitely given me a new lease on life, in both health and spirit. I was interested in Inayan Eskrima, because I wanted to learn more about my cultural heritage as a Filipino. I continue training in this style, because I have learned that beyond a static art form from the past, Inayan Eskrima is a fluid and practical martial art that improves one as a fighter. My friends and family now think I’m a broken record, in trying to convince them to learn this wonderful art."
NEW! - "I started training in Eskrima three years ago, in order to round out my training regimen with a weapons - based art. I have found that Eskrima fits my goals and training style very well. Eskrima is a “soft” art that emphasizes range, timing and technique. It helps develop finesse, coordination and quick reflexes, and does not require a high level of strength or endurance to perform well. Its scope is broad, but its characteristics are consistent and complementary. The Inayan Eskrima organization is like an extended family that loves to get together and have fun and share and grow. Everyone is extremely supportive and friendly, and eager to help each other grow in the art."
NEW! - "I've trained in both grappling and striking arts since 1991. Though some other arts teach basic stick and knife techniques, most do not fully integrate weapons and empty hand practice. Inayan Eskrima teaches a variety of ways to effectively attack with and defend against various possible weapons with whatever you happen to have access to. The emphasis on flowing from one thing to another in a seamless blur of movement is consistent with my personal training preferences and with the nature of real fighting." "Eskrima practice has enhanced my appreciation for the dangerous potential of weapons in real life. I also have a great time practicing with everyone, as it's fun to share the challenges of mastering new drills and strategies with other people! I strongly recommend Inayan Eskrima to others, particularly under instructor Chris McWethy. He thoroughly understands what he teaches and is excellent at spotting and correcting technical flaws. I also commend him for having an open-minded appreciation for other arts and training strategies."

- "I enjoy Warrior's Cove
in all aspects of the training. This cannot be emphasized enough!!
Thank you again, as well as the other instructors
NEW! - "I attended the seminar led by Masirib Hart at the Warriors Cove School in Burnsville on September 10th and 11. I have been a student of Inayan Eskrima for approximately two and a half years. I wasn't certain what to expect, I have been to other two day seminars in other styles in the past and have not always thought that they were worthwhile, it is difficult to disseminate much useful information in two days. However, I was extremely pleased with this seminar, it far exceeded my expectations. Masarib Hart was great, it was a unique experience to have the opportunity to hear his perspective on the art, observe him, and learn from him. It truly gave me perspective on the art, it reiterated the fact that I have only scratched the surface of what this art has to offer." "It was also enjoyable meeting all of the students and instructors from other Inayan schools, Katalungun Instructor Keith Schuch gave me some helpful feedback in particular. Many thanks to my teacher, Katalong Instructor Chris McWethy, who did an outstanding job of putting this seminar together. It was very well organized, and ran smoothly. As always, his instruction and encouragement were invaluable."
"Warriors Cove offers great realistic martial art training to keep you safe on the street or at home. It gives well rounded instruction, allowing you to be a well rounded fighter and capable of defending yourself in any environment. However the best thing I like about Warriors Cove is the friendly training environment. Everyone here is really supportive and answer any questions that you have."
"Best workout! All the muscles are used at some point! Interesting, fun, and as challenging as chess! Benefits everyone regardless of weight, sex, degree of fitness, or previous experience."
