Yaw-Yan Martial Arts USA HQ

Yaw-Yan is a Filipino Martial Arts which empty hand movements are patterned from the movements of the Filipino blades and sticks. Yaw-Yan was developed & created by Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez in the 1970's and was successfully introduced into Full Contact Tournaments in 1972.

Yaw-Yan USA was first founded, established, and introduced in the USA by Master Armando Liban in 1989 (at Sommerville & Middlesex, New Jersey). Yaw-Yan USA, established in 1989, was the very first Yaw-Yan gym outside of the Philippines with full permission of Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez.

There's 3 Major evolutions of Yaw-Yan by Grandmaster Nap, namely:
1. Yaw-Yan (Original "Sayaw ng Kamatayan" 1970s)
2. Yaw-Yan ArDigma (Arnis Pandigma 2005)
3. Yaw-Yan Fervilleon (Estocada de Brazo Y Pie, 2007).

Grandmaster Nap further improved Yaw-Yan into what is now known as Yaw-Yan Fervilleon (Estocada de Brazo Y Pie) which was conceived in 2007 and completed in January of 2013. Master Armando D. Liban, one of GM Nap's original disciples from the old Yaw-Yan, was the very first to have learned the whole complete Fervilleon system under Grandmaster Nap. Tornado is a specific Fervilleon attributes designated by GM Nap as appropriate for Master Liban, hence Yaw-Yan Martial Arts U.S. Headquarters is the home for Yaw-Yan Fervilleon Tornado.

Yaw-Yan Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez explicitly appointed Master Armando D. Liban, founder of Yaw-Yan in the USA, as both the International Director and USA Director of Yaw-Yan. Grandmaster Nap had also explicitly entrusted Fervilleon in its entirety to Master Armando D. Liban, to be in-charge of and to oversee all Fervilleon Gyms, Directors, and Instructors and name the group as Fervilleon International Federation (www.fervilleon.org).
