I'm trying to find a style to crosstrain

Is Yaw Yan ardigma a good system to crosstrain with Silat Cimande? I'm going to give it a try anyway just to see.

 

Therefore why are you asking? Personally I'd say a more orthodox system of Kali would be a better fit, but at the end of the day what are you looking to gain from cross training?

 

This a bit biased because I think YawYan is a great fma. Time spent learning Yawyan will never be a waste of time.

 

I really like their kicks, but I prefer the Lacoste hands. Going back to the OP though, as he's doing Cimande which is a hand heavy system maybe it WOULD be a good fit.

 

Can't go wrong with Yaw Yan. Top class people.

 

The local MMA scene has been blessed by yawyan fighting in most events.

 

The FMA system that compliments any FMA system.

 

And when I was in Manila during the Asia Games they won the Muay Thai event

 

Most of the local kru were yawyan at one time or another.
