==== Modern ====
These are the combat systems that were most likely developed or codified in the 20th century (at least the earliest record of it). In the case of ''[[Suntukan|mano-mano]],'' in the late-19th or early 20th century during the introduction of [[Boxing (sport)|modern boxing]] (see [[History of boxing in the Philippines|history of the boxing in the Philippines]]) and ''[[Yaw-Yan|yaw-yan]]'' which was created by Prof. Napoleon Fernandez in 1972. 
* [[Suntukan|Mano Mano]]: (From Spanish ''mano'', meaning hand lit. hand to hand) Incorporates punches, kicks, elbows, knees, headbutts, finger-strikes, locks, blocks, grappling and disarming techniques. In some systems, it is called ''suntukan'' (also known as ''pangamot'' in the Visayas and ''panantukan'' in the USA), which is a general term to refer to any kind of brawl. 
*[[Yaw-Yan]] or Sayaw ng Kamatayan: (Dance of Death) Yaw-Yan closely resembles [[Muay Thai]], but differs in the hip-torquing motion as well as the downward-cutting nature of its kicks, and the emphasis on delivering attacks from long range (while Muay Thai focuses more on clinching). The forearm strikes, elbows, punches, dominating palms, and hand movements are empty-hand translations of the bladed weapons. There are 12 "bolo punches" which were patterned from [[Arnis]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Us • Yaw-Yan Filipino Martial Arts USA HQ • Rockville, MD |url=https://yaw-yan.com/about-us/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=Yaw-Yan Filipino Martial Arts, USA HQ |language=en-US}}</ref>
