Description

Specialties

Yaw-​Yan (short for Sayaw Ng Kamatayan; «Dance of Death») is a traditional Filipino Martial Art founded by Grand Master Napolean «Nap» Fernandez.

The Yaw-​Yan style was designed for the Filipino fighter; (size does not matter) it is specially designed for small fighters to fight against bigger and heavier opponents. The originator creates these martial arts in consonant with Filipinos culture; the organization, food, uniform attitude and others.

It is a complete martial training with body-​mind coordination and test of enduring indomitable spirit. More than just physical training, it also involves the mental disciplines of focus, concentration, alertness, flexibility, stamina, speed and continuity. Students train for real confrontation and actual fights — in or out of the ring.

Yaw-​Yan practitioners must learn 40 basic kicks, advanced disciples have to be able to execute and apply complex advanced kicks requiring great dexterity, flexibility, and mastery. These advanced kicks are deceptive and designed to manipulate opponents’ anticipations.

All ages and levels of athleticism are welcome.

History

Established in 1972.

Yaw-​Yan is considered to be one of the world’s latest form of Martial Arts considering that it was originated in Manila, Philippines.

For over 10 years of Martial Arts experience, and as a Filipino and a pure martial artist/​fighter i’m proud to say that i’m part of this deadly art that i can call my own straight out from the mother land. This is the most practical and the most effective martial arts that ever come out. Every instructor here is very knowledgable and i’m very grateful for them to come out here to the states to spread the art as i’ve been waiting for them ever since i heard about Yaw Yan. Check it out and learn it! You’ll never regret coming here!

I’ve trained in TKD and Muay Thai for many years. At first I thought that this was a blend of the two but after understanding the movements I realized that this a true indigenous Filipino martial art derived from stick fighting. I feel I can truly express myself while practicing Yaw-​Yan. This art flows with devastating attacks from all angles. The power comes from speed and centripetal force similar to Caproiera. Besides being a very effective art the instructors are real pros who have been training all their lives. They enjoy sharing their knowledge and are respectful. If you are tired of mainstream kickboxing like you see in the UFC or wanting to add more illusive striking to your stand up this is the place to be.

Great kickboxing style, there’s no other like this in Sacramento. Everyone helps eachother, the trainers motivate you, push you, and never let you down. 100% positive Mon — Sat and they make you feel like family always have fun but we do put in work. I recommend everyone to try it even if you are not local, it’s worth the trip I can guarantee, you will be surprised.

It seems as if every martial art was considered in the term «MMA» Bjj, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and wrestling. Those are the staples, right? Yaw yan is the most underrated art, in my opinion. I feel like no one knows about it, yet it’s so effective and unique in its own way compared to kickboxing and Muay Thai. This gym teaches legit yaw yan by legit instructors who are from the Philippines. It’s as authentic as it gets ! The owner of the gym frequently travels to the Philippines looking for the best of the best and brings them to sacramento to teach traditional Filipino martial arts. I don’t think there’s anywhere else in Sacramento that does that. The members are here to learn and better themselves each and everyday. No ego involved. If you or someone you know is interested in learning this great art, head on by to yaw yan Ardigma sacramento, you won’t be disappointed ;)
