Yaw-Yan or Sayaw ng Kamatayan: (Dance of Death) Yaw-Yan closely resembles Muay

Thai, but differs in the hip-torquing motion as well as the downward-cutting nature of its
kicks, and the emphasis on delivering attacks from long range (while Muay Thai focuses
more on clinching). The forearm strikes, elbows, punches, dominating palms, and hand
movements are empty-hand translations of the bladed weapons. There are 12 "bolo punches"
which were patterned from Arnis.
