I am lucky to see some yaw-yan matches conducted on 2002, and found it very rough.It's like a muaythai match .The fighters can use knees and elbows on the ground and the fighters can even attack the fallen down opponent.the yaw-yans are taught to use their arms and legs as arnis sticks and they are heavily conditioned.Yaw-yan has been tested against other styles and had won majority of the matches.You can check this in their wesite.There is a street version of Yaw-Yan as well.
