This happened in manila: Yaw yan guy had a fight against a black belt in Taekwondo and the Yaw yan guy beat the shit out of the taekwondo guy. Yaw Yan artists are dominating mix martial atrs in the Philippines right now.

I found a site with Emiliano’s photo’s. Too bad its only photos and not an actual video clip.

He’s small though, probably in Anuwat’s or Seachai’s weight class. He must have retired by now, i guess well never know.

The fighters looks kinda sloppy, No? No Thai fighter ever went up against Emiliano and prevailed? Put him up against a Seanchai Sor Kingstar or someone in that calibre. I would love to see that. Even Mohammad Ali knows how to lose.

i am a yaw-yan fighter and i personally think that yaw-yan is a good sport. emiliano zapata. that name, the pride of yaw yan has never been defeated by a muay thai practitioner. it was when the ambassador of thailand here in the philippines asked for muay thai fighters to go up against sir emiliano. but did the muay thai peope prevail? nope, they cried.. yaw yan has more punching and kicking techniques than muay thai which makes them more versatile.muay thai king of the ring? maybe so..but lets wait and see.

yaw yan resembles muay thai and san shou, it has as many kick as taekwondo, and it utilizes the spinning back fist thats what I’ve been looking for an art that will let me use my boxing ability with muay thai elbows, knees, and shins and similar kicks of taekwondo, and also some throws. I don’t believe in ground fighting but I do believe in knife fighting: as in sayok kali and baraw (Doce Pares) which are filipino arts, the filipino’s also have combat judo which is Dumog.

Yaw-Yan (Sayaw ng Kamatayan/Dance of Death)Yup…May look like Muay but its not…Punches are from “Bolo” strikes based on the traditional “Itak” (Jungle knife) used by pinoys to cut rice or sugar canes and errrr…people(Historic Wars here in R.P.)…and kicks : Scorpion kicks,etch…have this downward cut style…a must see is the “Mountain Storm Kick”…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yaw Yan LogoYaw-Yan (Filipino Kickboxing/Footboxing) â€” Sayaw ng Kamatayan (Dance of Death) is the proper name for Yaw-Yan, a Filipino martial art developed by Napoleon Fernandez. The art resembles Muay Thai in a sense, but differs in the hip torquing motion as well as downward-cutting of its kicks.

YAW YAW is famous in the Philippines to those who only have the exposure in Full Contact Karate Tournaments since early 80’s
It dominated the full Contact Tournaments with is undeafeted champion Emiliano Zapata.
It was never commercialized. That’s why it is not that famous but it is really deadly.
Not just on tournaments but on the streets as well.
