What is Yaw-Yan Fervilleon and Fervilleon International Federation?
Recorded: March 14, 2013.
“Yaw-Yan Fervilleon is Estocada de Mano Y Pie (can be referred interchangeably as “Estocada de Brazo Y Pie”), it is a Filipino Fencing” ~ Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez
Yaw-Yan is patterned after the movements of the Blades and Sticks as apparent with the movements in Yaw-Yan Bolo punches and Kicks.
ArDigma is patterned after the movements of the sticks as apparent with the name itself Arnis Pandigma.
Fervilleon is patterned after the movements of the blades as apparent in all it’s moves, techniques, and terminologies – i.e., Filipino Fencing, Talim, Bangkud, Saksak, Aldabis, Sikwat, etc. “With or without a blade in your hand, the orientation and movements remain the same. Take out the blade… your forearms and your legs become your bladed weapons.”
