About Us

What sets YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION apart from the rest of the other formed groups?
  • Mandated vs Assembled. All other associations are either formed by one member or organized by members of a group;  however, The creation of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION were essentially mandated by Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez himself to be led by Master Armando D. Liban. The existence of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION was decreed on manifestos of the originator of the art, primarily for his chosen qualified educators named herein to propagate YAW-YAN FERVILLEON.
  • Non-Politics vs Politics. While other associations are political in nature, YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION aims to be a cohesive organization free from politics and internal strife. Each Directors were personally designated by Grandmaster Nap to be in-charge of their respective assignments. Our purpose & objective is to propagate Yaw-Yan Fervilleon, Our main interest is to provide the highest quality of training in the arts of Fervilleon for personal development and self-protection.
  • Appointed vs Elected. While other associations would have to elect their officials;  in contrast, officials of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION were formally declared and officially appointed by Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez himself.  Succeeding appointments thereafter must be made by GM Nap’s designated International and/or National Director.
  • Board of Directors vs Political structure. While other associations follow political structure, the leadership of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION on the other hand was patterned after corporate structure, i.e. it is by design composed of Board of Directors.
  • Autonomous vs Governance.  While other associations aim to govern other groups or members, each Directors of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION have full and unrestricted autonomy within their designated assignments, free from external control or constraints. Answering only to either their National or International Fervilleon Directors. Assimilation with other groups are by individual choice;  however, the federation in and of itself must remain independent by the virtue of irrevocable & unalterable legitimate authority granted to each Directors by Grandmaster Nap, i.e., no other associations/organizations formed now or in the future can claim governance of a grandfathered rights already bestowed by Grandmaster Nap to all his designated Fervilleon International Federation Directors. In other words, Fervilleon International Federation may govern other Yaw-Yan associations/organizations but is exempt from being governed by another; only Grandmaster Nap as the sole creator of the systems has absolute power to confer these rights.
  • Unity vs Governing power.  Rather than being governed or controlled within its own association, each members of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION are cohering as one unit, in accord with each other as a part of the whole federation.
  • Growth vs Motives. While other associations have varied purpose and motives for their establishments, Directors of YAW-YAN FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION served to be highly competent educators whose true main purpose is purely to teach and propagate the art of Yaw-Yan Fervilleon.
  • Independent vs Reliant. Fervilleon International Federation Directors are independent, self-sustaining gym operators or instructors; the same cannot be said to other associations/organizations who need other members, groups, or other gyms to keep their organizations alive, being dependent upon and need to rely on memberships. From the words of Grandmaster Nap when he was referring to one associations whom he gave authority to in full public display: “<a certain group> needs Yaw-Yan Fervilleon, but Yaw-Yan Fervilleon doesn’t need <that certain group>, <the person> doesn’t understand that, I was just playing along with them!” Any association/organization dependent on other members to sustain itself must therefore exercise authority, hence political regulations are necessary by placing people in power who they believe would help their cause and push their personal agendas. In contrast, each Fervilleon International Federation Directors can fully exercise the authorities granted them by GM Nap, outside of the need for another organizations’ approval.

We are a brotherhood of dedicated Filipino Martial Artists joined together by one common system of Martial Arts known as Yaw-Yan Fervilleon.  Officially referred to as FERVILLEON INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION according to Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez’ explicit instructions to Master Armando D. Liban, the torchbearer of Yaw-Yan Fervilleon.

Fervilleon is the culmination of long arduous study of effective Yaw-Yan moves in and out of the ring by the Yaw-Yan originator Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez.  Since the inception of Yaw-Yan in the 70’s, its efficacy in producing winning fighters were repeatedly proven time and time again.  Each and every time that a Yaw-Yan fighter would go up the ring, armed with the right Yaw-Yan attributes, arsenals, and skills… he’s already the indisputable winner of that match.

Here, you will find the list of bonafide Yaw-Yan Fervilleon Gyms and respective Founders/Chief-instructors who legitimately teach the authentic art of Fervilleon, who really studied the art with real verifiable teaching credentials from Grandmaster Nap and attested to by their fellow Fervilleon Instructors.  If they are not listed here, they are what Grandmaster Nap referred to as “colorum” or poor imitation, in other words a fake… their authenticity and actual lineage is highly questionable.

Unity in brotherhood results in synergy that binds all Yaw-Yan Fervilleon together to make us even stronger.  Following are the currently active Fervilleon Directors/Chief-Instructors/Gym Owners:
