Are there any Yaw Yan players here? Yaw Yan USA seems to have just fizzled out....from taking a look at their website.
It looks like we have no one!

It's alright, i was able to track down Sir Fred Garcia in Toronto but decided not to go with it.
Fred and his brother Boy (can't remeber his real name) were a first generation sudents of Yaw Yan when it started in the 70's. Apparently, the style has changed alot since then.
I can tell you one thing Fred and Boy can fight.

yeah, apparently they've added pandigma (groundfighting) to their striking....it was interesting learning about Fred's experiences and the way they trained.
Cuentada,
Is Master Fred still teaching at Vic Park and Sheppard?

Yes, he's teaching out of his yard...but pretty selective about who he teaches...he mentioned that you used to study with him. Did you like it?

Oops, he didn't mention that he was teaching at the studio at vic park and shep.... only that he trains at his residence.
I did like the training but it made me a better fighter. However, it was kickboxing focused and at the time my interest in that started to move away from this.
