00:00This afternoon, we will be joined by Maser Reyak, a senior citizen who continues to inspire

00:29as a coach of Yaoyang Martial Arts.

00:32Let's find out her story and how this sport has established her life here at Live Better.

00:39Yaoyang, an outstanding Filipino martial art, was established in 1972 under the guidance

01:01of the well-known Grand Master Napoleon Fernandez.

01:04His name, inspired by the dance of death, reflects the speed, power, and natural flow of movements.

01:14One of the most well-known fighters of Yaoyang in the 1980s is Maser Reyak.

01:20From 1979 to 1984, she worked hard and dedicated herself under the guidance of the Grand Master.

01:29As time went by, Maser Reyak's unparalleled love for this art remained.

01:36Under the guidance of the Grand Master, she opened her own gym as part of her mission

01:42to preserve and spread the values of Yaoyang, our own art of competition.

01:49I was in Yaoyang in 1978, late 1978, I believe November of 1978.

01:59I grew up in a community where there was a great Yaoyang,

02:05and actually that was another Grand Master, a nephew of Grand Master Napoleon,

02:10by the name of Boy Fernandez.

02:13He was an actor for a short time.

02:17He was the one who inspired me.

02:22He was a very disciplined person.

02:26So, I was only 14, 15.

02:29I told him to teach me.

02:30So, he taught me in my garage.

02:34So, little by little, once in a week, once in two weeks,

02:38until the time came when he said,

02:41If you really want to be good and learn,

02:44I will bring you to the gym, to the uncle, Napoleon Fernandez,

02:49which is his uncle now.

02:50So, he brought me to the gym, and that's where I met Grand Master.

02:54And that's how I started.

02:56It's a very funny story because when I got there,

03:01because his nephew introduced me,

03:04and he said, this is my neighbor, this is a good boy.

03:07Grand Master told me, I will never forget,

03:09he said, okay, you will spar.

03:11You are the one who teaches this.

03:13So, you will spar.

03:15If you don't dance,

03:17to my student, you are free.

03:20So, the funny thing is,

03:21when I sparred, I didn't dance,

03:24and his student danced.

03:26The one who taught me, which is Master Boy,

03:29was very, very proud.

03:30From then on, I was free in the gym.

03:35Because he was good at dancing,

03:38he was always ready for training,

03:40and he sacrificed his time and strength

03:43to achieve what he was hoping for.

03:47I said, I think I'm going to die here.

03:49I almost suffocated breathing.

03:51There was no stopping of punches,

03:53there was no stopping of kicks,

03:54there was no stopping of making the body suffer.

03:58I went through all of that,

04:00that there are people who collapse in training

04:02because the principle of Master is

04:04you really need to have a hard time

04:07because there's nothing easy.

04:09If you apply that in life,

04:11that's where you will see the meaning of training.

04:14I was amazed by the dance when I was training.

04:17What I can't forget is

04:19every time someone trains,

04:21because I'm new,

04:22I say, this is so good.

04:24The punching bag is almost broken

04:26when you kick, when you punch.

04:28After that, someone will come and say,

04:31this is better.

04:32There are a lot of people who will be good.

04:34I said, I want to be like this.

04:36And then the following day,

04:37the next three days,

04:38the next four days,

04:39there will still be people who will be better.

04:42I said, this is a different class.

04:44I want to reach their level.

04:47So, it motivates me,

04:50inspires me so much

04:52to train really, really hard

04:55because I want to be considered

04:57among the best dancers during that time.

05:01As a young student,

05:02you can't not love.

05:04Second, the honor.

05:06That's number one,

05:07the character of a person.

05:09They say that the character

05:11is something that can be done

05:13even if no one is watching.

05:15You're doing a good job

05:17and you're doing a good job.

05:19You're doing a good job

05:21and you're doing a good job.

05:23You're doing a good job

05:25and you're doing a good job.

05:27You're doing a good job

05:29and you're doing a good job.

05:31This is what's most important

05:33to a person.

05:35So, this is what we always explain

05:37to our students

05:39as their masters

05:41that our honor is important.

05:45One of the reasons

05:47why he remains healthy

05:49is the support

05:51and support

05:53that he is also an advisor.

05:56I am very thankful

05:58that I was involved in Yaowian.

06:00Because once you're Yaowian,

06:02you'll always be a Yaowian.

06:04For me,

06:06maybe if I didn't do Yaowian,

06:08I would have a big chance now.

06:10I wouldn't be this fit.

06:12Number one,

06:14I maintained

06:16my training

06:18because I don't stop

06:20propagating Yaowian.

06:22Yaowian is a Filipino martial arts.

06:24In our country,

06:26we embrace a lot of martial arts

06:28that are not our own.

06:30This is our own,

06:32made by a Filipino

06:34for the Filipino.

06:36That's the reason

06:38why maybe until now

06:40I'm still in Yaowian

06:42because I don't stop propagating.

06:44For me,

06:46this is what we should be proud of.

06:48This is good.

06:50This is deadly.

06:52Maybe that's the reason

06:54that I'm still here

06:56and it benefits me a lot.

06:58Because of that,

07:00I'm forced to train people.

07:02I'm forced to train by myself

07:04for myself.

07:06Maybe that's the reason

07:08that I really want to propagate it.

07:10I don't stop training.

07:12That's what motivates me.

07:14His ultimate goal

07:16is to produce

07:18a champion.

07:20Personally, I haven't been able to

07:22become a champion yet.

07:24That's my ultimate goal.

07:26They became

07:28part of the championship

07:30where my fighters

07:32fought for the championship

07:34and they were not allowed

07:36to win to become a champion

07:38in that category.

07:40For example, lightweight,

07:42strawweight, things like that.

07:44We were challenged

07:46several times in the championship

07:48and we were not allowed to fight.

07:50Maybe there's still something

07:52that I'm lacking

07:54for my fighters

07:56to play.

07:58Maybe training,

08:00there are many reasons

08:02but I won't stop

08:04until I become a champion.

08:06More than becoming a champion

08:08in martial arts,

08:10what's more important

08:12to him is becoming a champion

08:14in life.

08:17Training in martial arts

08:19especially in Buhawi,

08:21this is where I explain

08:23to them that

08:25the training

08:27will be useful

08:29in facing life.

08:31The hardships

08:33that you will face

08:35will be useful

08:37in facing life.

08:39Fighting in life

08:41is not easy.

08:43There are many failures,

08:45many challenges.

08:47If you overcome that training,

08:49you're all set.

08:51To most of my students,

08:53I'm proud to say

08:55that's where I became a champion.

08:57Since I started training

08:59in 2004,

09:01most of them

09:03have already finished

09:05their studies,

09:07they have their own businesses,

09:09they have families

09:11that raise their children.

09:13This is my proudest moment

09:15when my student visited me

09:17and he will tell me

09:19his achievements.

09:21For example,

09:23I have a student who became active

09:25for 3 years,

09:27but he suddenly disappeared.

09:29After 3 years, he suddenly appeared

09:31and told me,

09:33Sir, how are you?

09:35I will give you a gift

09:37to welcome you.

09:39What happened? Why did you suddenly disappear?

09:41I am proud to say

09:43that I have a home now.

09:45I have overcome

09:47all the difficulties

09:49that I faced in Saudi Arabia

09:51because of Yawian.

09:53That is my proudest moment.

09:55I have experienced

09:57many things like that

09:59with my students.

10:01For me,

10:03they became champions

10:05in their lives

10:07and I became a champion too.

10:09Even though

10:11Master Ray is a senior citizen,

10:13you can't compare his age

10:15to his enthusiasm and zeal.

10:17According to him,

10:19this is because of the substantial

10:21food he eats.

10:23I believe that

10:25I was raised to be more

10:27young and strong.

10:29There is no intake of sugar

10:31because sugar is

10:33what I feel.

10:35I have an intake of sugar

10:38because I have a sugar rush

10:40and I move a lot.

10:42After that,

10:44when you run out of sugar,

10:46you feel like a sleepy cow.

10:48It means that

10:50your energy is not good.

10:52You need to get your energy

10:54from fats.

10:56You need to eat right.

10:58You need to eat right carbohydrates.

11:00You shouldn't

11:02eat low carbs.

11:04When you train hard,

11:06it's not easy.

11:08You need to

11:10moderate everything.

11:12The only thing

11:14that you shouldn't moderate

11:16is sugar

11:18because that is the culprit

11:20of our body.

11:22We should remove sugar.

11:24He learned not to abuse

11:26his body during training.

11:28I don't have enough

11:30to maintain

11:32supplements

11:34and vitamins.

11:36Proper and good food.

11:40I might not be able

11:42to do this anymore.

11:44I still need

11:46to do everything right.

11:48When I train,

11:50I don't abuse it

11:52anymore.

11:54I just do what I can.

11:56Sometimes, I lose myself

11:58because of the situation

12:00where

12:02I have to move

12:04more than I should.

12:06I suffer.

12:08I suffer for one week

12:10of that pain.

12:12It's not good.

12:14My students

12:16suffer more

12:18because I can't face them anymore.

12:20I let them rest.

12:22So,

12:24I have to be careful.

12:26I don't abuse it anymore.

12:28I just need to do the right thing.

12:30I know the limitations.

12:34He also has an advice

12:36for those who want to lose weight.

12:38Don't hesitate

12:40to train regardless of your age.

12:42I have a program

12:44for those who are 50 years old.

12:46I have a program

12:48for those who are 40 years old.

12:50I have a program for those who are 30 years old.

12:52Don't be afraid.

12:54Don't be shy.

12:56Especially for women,

12:59I'm a woman.

13:01That's only for men.

13:03Totally wrong.

13:05Don't limit yourself.

13:07You can do a lot.

13:09Don't worry about your age.

13:11I have a program

13:13for those who are older than you.

13:15You can feel your strength

13:17and be proud

13:19of yourself.

13:21If you take medicine,

13:23you won't be able to take it anymore.

13:25The right exercise

13:27and the right food

13:31I also have a plan meal

13:33for you.

13:35Just come to the gym

13:37or to any of the gyms

13:39of Nyawian.

13:41Never too late.

13:43Health is very important.

13:45Our health is our wealth.

13:47Believe it or not,

13:49that's our wealth.

13:51Master Rhea is an example

13:53of dedication and hard work

13:55In every step

13:57of her journey

13:59in the field of martial arts,

14:01she gives the true meaning

14:03of discipline, courage

14:05and perseverance.

14:07More than being a teacher,

14:09she is an inspiration.

14:11A light that guides

14:13her Nyawian students

14:15and anyone who dreams

14:17to achieve their dreams.

14:19That's where our episode

14:21ends this afternoon.
