Would this be the same Fred I had the pleasure of meeting at a couple of TKO shows? If so, he's a great guy and I'd be very interested in learning anything he might teach me.
The Venue will be at 2054 Sheppard Ave East, Unit B103, just 2 stop lights West of Victoria Park Ave. Scarborough, Ontario. August 28, 2005 at 3:00 PM.
Space is limited. We will only accept the first 20 participants. This is a great opportunity for those who are interested to learn the Art of Yawyan. We will be developing few fighters to participate in major MMA events. If you are interested in participating these events. This is the place to get trained.
Jon, your right, this is your chance to get a free training. By the way, here is an additional information about the art. The people who had witness the figting art.
Hey guys My Name Is Julio Rodriguez and I am one of Master Fred Garcias fighters. I have been with him for a few months and have become a better over all fighter. Yes this may sound like a big boast but when you go into a school you either come out a better striker or grappler , at Universal Mixed martial arts and under the yawyan techniques I have become equaly good at submissions as I am at striking. But then again dont take my word for it come out to the next seminar and try it for your self. Remember you cant do mma if you dont know how to block a strike and counter when in the guard position. Master Fred Garcia teaches you an art thats just as deadly if not more then mauy thai, because of its unerving way of always being unpredictable. In yawyan you learn very simple and effective techniques but then learn very advanced and devistating attacks. Call in or stop by and check it out. Being a bouncer at a nightclub my training has become invaluable, again try it out for yourself and see how effective yawyan is. Im shure to see you their,and will most likly be your training partner , if Master Fred so chooses.
If you dont believe my words then just ask lautaro as hes seen the differences with modern mma and yawyan.
Till the next time we se eachother in the ring.
Regards.
A second schedule for a free seminar is on the works. This comming Sunday Sept.4 at 3:00 pm. We are trying to scout potential fighters and train them with Yawyan style. Come see for yourselves. This is a good opportunity for those who really want to learn the art of real fighting.
