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
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.
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!
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 RU-vidr himself
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.
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 RU-vid about the story & history of Yawyan.🤩👍
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.
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!
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 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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
It's very awesome and historial increíble that in intercultural and oriental martial arts develop kicking techniques over the years,i know You don't have si mucho credit William,but to my point of view You are making a good research of martial arts and knowledge.
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.
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
