Thanks for having me on your show!!! Lets link up soon 💯

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Yea man was cool to meet!

[@ambulocetusnatans]

That was a fortunate meeting. I've never heard of that style, but it sounds interesting. The old guy looks tough as nails.

[@General_Kenobi_212]

It does look really cool I know BrooklynMonk aka Antonio Graceffo has a great video on Yaw Yan Hybrid on his show series Martial Arts Odyssey where they actually fight against Muay Thai and compete in MMA

Usually on YT you see videos of Yaw Yan as a sport and how it's a hybrid martial art. This video is deep and certainly the most unique demonstration of the martial art!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

How lucky am I? I’d honestly never heard of it before. I just asked if I could film and not only were they happy to oblige, but Pare Young was a fellow KZbinr himself

[@johngr1747]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Really lucky indeed! It's great to be exposed to an underrated art like that by such great demonstrators!

[@dansnowberger8823]

I first read about YY in Black Belt Magazine over a decade ago. It appeared to combine two of the arts I learned at a JKD gym; Muay Thai and Escrima. I found it useful and interesting that YY uses forearms at the same angles as MT elbows, to have longer reach. Also; they're the same angles of FMA stick, blade, and unarmed punyo (hammerfist) attacks. Angling the Roundhouse Kick down adds more power, and I found it helped me to target the calf instead of the thigh more often. I have to get closer to do it, but it makes it much harder to grab my leg.

[@raymundbalce4550]

Yesss. Youve featured YAW YAN!!!

[@UnknownFeng]

Awesome video!! I wish there were more videos on it. I ran into a few language barriers researching it but I’m glad I did.

[@alexliu5636]

One of the most unique hybrids I have ever seen in martial arts ! I love it !

[@KingoftheJiangl]

Very cool. Those are some unique angles. Never be too eager to test somebody on the streets you never know

[@HatianHurricane]

I would really like to see more of this particular style. Thank you!!!

Same here

[@ooocha1]

Master Boy Garcia is undefeated in YawYan full contact fighting, over a hundred fights, and is one of the nicest guys you could meet. He also makes great wooden training swords.

[@Cunt982]

Interesting. Are there any films of his matches? I would like to study how he fights.

[@danielmartialartist7304]

The scorpion kick is so cool!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Yea that’s why I made it the thumbnail

[@hotpopcorncake]

They also have other kicks. Like there other one called raising fall and so on..

Master boy garcia also trains kalis ilustrisimo with master arnold and teaches yaw yan to master arnolds group in the park. No wonder you ran into him!

Yaw-Yan is a Similar to Muay Thai. They use limbs as a weapon on empty hand fight. One of the Brutal Martial Arts here in the philppines if you use it on street fight. If you want to know about YawYan Search & Watch it on KZbin about the story & history of Yawyan.🤩👍

[@วิชชากรสุขวัฒน์]

Muay boran had so many sty and sty mix with kungfu & aikido judo etc. stuff Yawyan consider philippino sty like bokator from cambodia or Letwei from mymmar Yawyan use forarms a lot but Muaythai & others dont use it much.

[@irvinjaycarranza6828]

That alakdan kick is always fascinating to watch.

[@Tunks1]

Another good'un!

[@dmdm7690]

Wow what a find!!

[@ferdinand6761]

Can you do more Yaw-Yan contents i really appreciate it

[@LunaticReason]

Crazy coincidence I just recently learned about Yaw Yan researching if the Philippines had an kickboxing equivalent. There is a Tekken character who’s Filipino but they only refer her style as kickboxing kinda bugs me they don’t mention Yaw yan

[@Veepee92]

I guess it's because Josie's moveset is mostly very traditional kickboxing.

[@LunaticReason]

@@Veepee92 Wished they had modelled it more with Yaw Yan. One thing i like about Tekken is some of the martial arts movements try to follow actual martial arts styles

[@Veepee92]

@@LunaticReason They re-used lots of the original kickboxer Bruce's animations on Josie. She's essentially a budget Bruce replacement; Tekken 7 was made with not that much money.

[@วิชชากรสุขวัฒน์]

In the lore she was Model & Kick boxer so she still not a tradition yaw yan fighter. There a phillipino who still train muaythai & kickboxing in philipine. it not strange that she never train yawyan. Being Philipino doesnt mean you know yawyan by default.

[@knixps4564]

Josie has a scorpion kick, that is an enough tell of a Yaw Yan practioner.

[@วิชชากรสุขวัฒน์]

as thai people myself this look more sharper and faster than muay boran and yaw yan would be useful for Muaythai fighter who want to kick faster for Kickboxing match. most Muaythai fighters right now cant adapt a faster kick for kickboxing match. they rely on hard & power but if they fight a very good kickboxer that would be a problem. Even superbon still had a hard time adapt muaythai kick in kickboxing match despite he a champion. Buakaw still had a hard time too back in k-1 Era and rely on Hard & power alone Yaw yan would fill the role of better kick in kickboxing match for muaythai fighter.

[@donrosal9655]

I remember my dad who passed away almost thirty years ago is a yaw yan practitioner. I remember my dad had a yin yang burn mark on his shoulder. Is that tradition still active on today's practitioner?

[@mauriciochalonslazarochalo2454]

Very talented master and student!. great presentation!. i didn't like the scorpion kick!. maybe is the way he executed it!.

[@Ed7501]

I've read about this art in the old Inside Kung Fu mags back in the day. IIRC, they also utilize biting as a technique?

[@dansnowberger8823]

There's an FMA style called Kino Mutai that is all bites and grappling to get a pinning position so you can bite them and they can't bite back.

[@Ed7501]

@@dansnowberger8823 that must be what I read about... Got mixed up with the names.

Hey Will, awesome video as usual. I wanted to ask if you knew of good resources for learning Mandarin or Cantonese? I would like to travel to China myself one day to learn more about kung fu, which would mean learning the language.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

I’m sorry, I learnt all my Chinese in-country, so I’m not really sure what to suggest specifically. I would say joining some actual classes as opposed to just using textbooks or audio lessons though. Probably your local university/college should offer some

[@joelquebec]

That scorpion kick! I disagree with him about guns. They're just a tool. Like fighting skills, if it's used for the wrong purpose, it's the intent of the person, not the tool. In our Texas dojo, gun training is also taught.

[@hotpopcorncake]

I love these styles but I'm not that flexible due to age .but I like some of it tools .

[@AL_YZ]

The guys who do Yaw Yan are not the rich who want to dabble. They're the scruffy scrappy ones. The poorer ones who live the rough edged life in neighborhoods you don't want to visit.
