The Functional Panantukan Program offers:
Looking for an empty-hand martial arts program that's not only fun and engaging, but also smart, practical, and highly effective in both sport and real-world self-defense? Then the Functional Panantukan Program—Filipino Boxing, refined for modern application—is exactly what you need.
For over 45 years, I’ve studied under the legendary Guro Dan Inosanto, who often reminds us that in the Southeast Asian approach:
“There are two arts—one is for show, and one is for go.”
This program is all about the “go.”
Panantukan, often called Filipino boxing, is the empty-hand combat art of the Philippines. While some styles focus on flashy movements, Functional Panantukan emphasizes real-world effectiveness—against skilled, resisting opponents. This isn't about memorizing techniques. It's about developing true fighting ability through an intelligent structure, proven methods, and progressive drills.
Think of it as boxing, plus.
Panantukan shares the foundation of Western boxing—footwork, head movement, punches, and defenses—but it goes far beyond. Because it was developed without gloves, it incorporates a broader arsenal: backfists, hammerfists, elbows, shoulder smashes, knees, headbutts, low kicks, and more. For self-defense, it even includes groin strikes, eye jabs, and brutal takedowns. It’s an incredibly vast and versatile toolbox—perfect for MMA fighters, self-defense enthusiasts, and martial artists who want more than just modern sport techniques.
This program is the result of over four decades of intense training, sparring, and research. Filipino martial arts are known for their genius approach to drilling and sparring—both designed to be safe and realistic. Since Panantukan practitioners of old practiced without boxing gloves, they borrowed from Kali, Eskrima, and Arnis weaponry methods to develop four distinct modes of sparring that allow you to train at high intensity without a heavy risk of injury! Combine these modes and you can develop all the attributes needed to become a formidable Panantukan fighter!
Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your fitness, a fighter wanting to expand your striking game, or an experienced martial artist searching for a smarter way to train—this program delivers.
Get the Functional Panantukan Program today and level up your game. There’s a world of knowledge waiting for you.
