THE second batch of Yaw-Yan Summer Clinic will begin on Friday, July 14, 2023 at the Yaw-Yan Ardigma Gym, which is located on the fourth floor of Coast Pacific Downtown Center, in front of the University of Cebu main campus on Sanciangko Street, Cebu City.
With the theme "Say to life and say no to drugs," the activity will include arnis/eskrima, boxing/fitness, mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and Yaw-Yan fighting self defense.
Master Benigno "Ekin" Caniga Jr., the founder and chief executive officer of Yaw-Yan Ardigma and dubbed as the "Father of Cebu MMA," will serve as the mentor.
Caniga urged everyone, especially the youth, to learn martial arts owing to their many benefits, which include stress reduction, muscular gain, improved cardiovascular health, flexibility, greater balance, and agility and reflexes.
In addition, it can help boost confidence/self esteem, increase in focus, memory improvement, peace/calmness of mind, building character, improve social skills and self defense, among others.
Yaw-Yan is a native Filipino martial art introduced by Grand Master Nap Fernandez in 1972 in Sta. Cruz, Manila.
