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.
