The Inosanto Blend of kali is the foundation at which the I.M.P.A.C.T. program operates in. This solid structure enables function as well as demonstrating the art. Traditionally, the weapon is taught last. However, in today's society there are those that carry a firearm, pocket knife or chemical agent. Weapons education is an integral part of growth and discipline that should be shown in the student's initial stages.

The Thai Boxing Association of the U.S.A. (TBA-USA), the oldest and largest Muay Thai organization in the United States, was founded in 1968 by Ajarn Surachai "Chai" Sirisute. (Ajarn is Thai for head instructor.) Ajarn Chai came to the United States with a vision to spread Muay Thai to throughout the world, and he is the first-ever Thai boxing instructor to teach Americans this art and he has worked tirelessly for over 40 years to that end. We are indeed grateful to Ajarn Chai for his gift of the knowledge of Muay Thai.
