Yaw Yan Martial Arts Training In The Philippines

[alangname]

@MaharlikaAWA you should try kali. thats awesome

[soulreaverprotoss]

Hello. Can I ask where in Marikina this gym is? I'm from Marikina and I'm pretty interested in learning this sport. I want to learn Martial arts that originated in my country hahaha :) I train Muay Thai btw and this looks a little similar to it. =)))

[MaharlikaAWA]

@soulreaverprotoss I dont know marikina well but if you go on yahoo and type in yaw yan buhawi you can find a dojo blog that talks about it and shows the address. I think there might be a video on youtube where it shows the address too. Yaw Yan may be used in MMA sports but its not a sport it is a fighting system for self defense even though they do sport combat. If you do muay thai you will catch on to yaw yan fast, but yaw yan is more open minded to certain kicks from karate/taekwondo.

[soulreaverprotoss]

@MaharlikaAWA all right. Thanks!

[MaharlikaAWA]

@soulreaverprotoss as well as their favorite spinning kick and fist techniques. You will like it! I will not be suprised if Yaw Yan gets known well in the near future and dominates the kickboxing and MMA world.

[SisselTheCat]

Looks a lot like Muay Thai. Sort of like a different variation of it.

[Hotpinkpepper06]

new tricks... thanks to this video... but the last part is very disturbing... I think it will break ur bone... well anyway thanks again!

[shotixootii]

Hi, Im from Caloocan (Monumento). Do you have any recommendations on where can i train? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@shotixootii I dont know where that is but if you go to Marikina you can train at the gym in this video. It is very small. but the teacher is really good.

[sarxfacom]

@shotixootii meron ata sa quiapo meron rin sa libertad pasay malapit lng sa lrt. not sure kung malapit un sayo

[shotixootii]

@sarxfacom Malapit ako sa LRT Monumento station. Wala ba dito lang sa North?

I have been training at Yaw Yan, under Master Ekin for 3 years and love. Originally from the UK, I trained but there was not enough disciplin for me. Here it go hard or go home. Mahalika glad you like the Yaw Yan style if you ever come back come over to Cebu Yaw Yan

[MaharlikaAWA]

@bassmansix Ok I will go to Cebu one day maybe.

[3dhardyadik]

Yawyan Master Ekin REPREZENT

[MaharlikaAWA]

@3dhardyadik Hey that's cool. Are you Master Ekin or are you a personw ho trains under him? Where is his gym?

I wish I could go back to the philippines and keep training in Yaw Yan and get really good. Its too bad we dont have Yaw Yan in USA. I would love to train Yaw Yan for a few years and be allowed to teach it to Americans under a Filipino Master and report back to him and be under his authority.

[3dhardyadik]

@3dhardyadik I am under him before. Until I went to Hawaii. I am a teen.

[pepehorhae]

ano pinagkaiba nito sa muay thai? sabi ng mga kakilala ko muay thai na pinoy daw hehehe eh ang vague ng statement, so how do you differ this from that? i wanna learn this. im doing muay thai for almost a year na po and i also want to learn my filipino's martial art as well :) saan ba pde makakita nito? salamat po

[MaharlikaAWA]

@pepehorhae Ya its a Filipino hyrbid style of kickboxing its very much based on Muay Thai nd Karate. They like to do 180 degree spins and never full 360 its kind of their thing. They are in the Philippines pretty much...their fighters do MMA and win a lot I hear. The master of this school is awesome and I recommend you going there! He will get you in shape!

[lixiaoming89]

@MaharlikaAWA I'm sorry sir but you got it wrong. YawYan is not based on MT or Karate, it's based on another FMA, Arnis, with a LOT of original material. Kicks and punches are all original.

[lixiaoming89]

@pepehorhae Depende kung taga san ka? Maraming chapter ang YawYan.

[shotixootii]

@lixiaoming89 Saan kaya may pinakamalapit sa Caloocan?

[MaharlikaAWA]

Sir Rey is awesome and if I ever get to go back to the Philippines I am training at his gym! Everyone if you are in the area sign up he is worth it!!! He is a good teacher that trains you super intense and you WILL get fit and learn how to fight like a man!

[markanthony069]

Hey.....can you guys give the location of the gym

[MaharlikaAWA]

@markanthony069 I have no clue! but it was in Marikina! Search it up and I dont think they have a website. Go to marikina and ask around. It was near a KFC I think. 

[jephoi4970]

[ulol95]

[MaharlikaAWA]

@ulol95 Really? Cool! Tell Sir Rey about this video and thats how you found his school and tell him I say hello!

[boyper0000]

[jeman26]

[flamebeser]

[MaharlikaAWA]

@flamebeser Ya that old guy is a true master of Yaw Yan!

[MrCavScoutout]

you get a hazing then they brand you then they train you wish i can get my brand glad i found some one by surprise to who could teach me this martial art but you probably already know that

[MrCavScoutout]

did you get your brand

[MaharlikaAWA]

@MrCavScoutout What does that mean? 

[MrCavScoutout]

@MaharlikaAWA its big shit man over a hundred people showed up for initiation the creator of it was their even doing the hazing all the techniques are there like the scorpion kick love that kick they work in chapters all around the provinces i guess he hasnt tolk me the whole story look at intro to yaw yan (aka sayawng kamatayan its all their when did you start learning

[MaharlikaAWA]

@MrCavScoutout Well okay I dont know anything about that. Anyway I dont really train in Yaw Yan I did that for one day in Marikina. I have 10 years experience Taekwondo and other martial arts.

[MrCavScoutout]

@MrCavScoutout well my trainer here in California has his brand from cebu yaw yan members have brands on their chest

[MaharlikaAWA]

@MrCavScoutout I did not know that at all. Wow. No one told me anything about that and none of the students at this gym have any brandings or went through any hazing. It could be a particular club that does it. Its not a normal thing. Most people just train and pay money.

[Glenmc78]

do u hav an address for that gym?

[Glenmc78]

G'day mate,nice vid....wer abouts is that gym in pinas?

[MaharlikaAWA]

@Glenmc78 It is mentioned in the description. It is in Marikina which is inside Metro Manila.
