First of all its not a Kung Fu. It is Yaw-Yan. The goal of that drill is for the practitioner to be groom him for a sparring and later on to a real fight.
Looks very interesting. A hybrid between the prodding and grounded footwork of muay thai with strikes more akin to taekwondo and Karate, and moments of slick footwork. Luckily a gym nearby that specializes on that - though I'm not particularly sure this 5 foot self with the shortest shins in the world can make any use of the kicks.
Please re-do this video in high definition. 🙏 this my well be the best martial art and best video explaining Weapons to Unarmed fighting I have ever seen! I want this style to grow!!
Yaw Yan has a lot of haters because, as a relatively young hybrid art, it doesn't have the romantic backstories that older martial arts have. But the proof is in the ring.
That's amazing and it's similar to the way Chinese arts transferred weapons techniques to the empty hand. But it's modern too. Many traditional arts wouldn't have the high kicks or spinning kicks. It's quite interesting.
THAT is a DRILL CALLED "BIGAYAN"- GIVE OR TAKE- THE PURPOSE OF THE DRILL IS TO IMPROVE REACTION TIME- SPEED/ACCURACY KICKING-STAMINA DRILL FOR KICKS THATS WHY YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEM USE KICKS, THERES A DIFFERENT DRILL FOR YAW YAN HAND TO HAND TECHNIQUES- (MIX OF BASIC BOXING+ UNARMED VARIATOR OF BOLO PUNCHES-ARNIS HAND STRIKES AND ELBOW AND KNEE.. THAT DRILL IS ONLY FOR KICKS THAT IS WHY
@@bongdonkey Yes, the hand strikes are variation of arnis strikes, just imagine the same movement with your hands without holding stick,mostly different variation of hammer fist strikes, added to the basic jab+cross-upprcut-hook punches
Actually those long range attacks and kick and low guard are adapted by yaw Yan and originated in Muay Thai because yaw Yan is a mix of kick boxing and karate and kickboxing adapted the art of Muay Thai that's why they have similar kicks to Muay Thai
Dati nag ka karate ako pero nong napunta ako nang maynila I sa pasay pumasok ako nang yawyan .mula noon isinasa puso kuna.ang yawyan dahil ito ay sariling atin ilove yawyan ayaw kuna sa dayuhang mRtial arts
pwedeng sabihin na ang Yaw Yan ay TKD ng pilipinas. Kung hindi ako nagkamali iyung founder ng Yaw Yan ay dating kickboxer in the sense na he was a natural kicker, not puncher, as his natural tendency is to kick. I think, in combat sports, what will not work in actual real fight will work in combat sports, example labanan sa tubig na hanggang baywang o may putik o bagay na slippery sa sementadong lugar o daan o maraming balakid na maka sagabal sa paa ay hindi makasipa ng husto ang isang maninipa o kicker kontra sa isang puncher o manununtok pero sa ring ay uubra sila ng husto. Nakikita ko ay hindi masyado sa panununtok ang YY atTKD. siguro iyung gustong gawing may sariling martial art for functional self defense ay hati ang uri ng pagsasanay: suntok at sipa.
Punches lacks power due to limited twisting of hips, parang kickboxing lang na dinagdagan nang ibat ibang katarantaduhan para may matawag na sariling martial arts, para kang bumili nang motor na kawasaki tas dinagdagan mo nang mga walang silbi na parts tas pinalitan mo yung kawasaki para kunwari imbensyon mo
Manuod ka NG yaw Yan documentary NG malaman mo.. don't judge easily. Even our eyes cannot see the real things. Subokan mo makipaglaban dyan.. kahit Ang boxer Laban lng sa Palo NG mga yaw Yan tatalunin
Napaka unnecessary nang mga moves, example pwede kang mag lead hook, nahuli na yung suntok na gagawin mong suntok kasi ginagaya mo pa yung palo, wala na, ikaw na nasuntok, di yan uubra sa cage, wala pa ako nakitang gumawa niyan sa cage sa tagal nang MMA, spinning back fist lang meron pero yung spinning backfist eh nang alam yun sa kickboxing, muay thai, o MMA
pag inapply yan sa cage wala, macocounter ka bigla di pa dumapo suntok mo, sa taggal nga nang MMA wala kang nakikitang mga ganyang moves, unnefective, nag aral ka nalang nng muay thai o kickboxing
Na alala q nung tinuruan aq ng isang tao.dati studyante ni master ike amata.cguro ito ring sipa na itinuro nya na maherap talaga gawin.isang malaking alamat talaga si master nap.kaya malaki ang respeto ko sa mga yawyan.pugay po sa inyo
