He was born on November 4, 1994 in Quezon City, Philippines. The Bacyadan originate from the Tanudan, Kalinga and Igorot. He is a Filipino boxer and former wushu and vovinam fighter.

Vovinam is short for Võ Việt Nam, meaning “Vietnamese Martial Arts”, founded in 1938 by Nguyễn Lộc. It is based on eclectic traditional Vietnamese sources according to CNN Sports.

Wushu, or kung fu, is a competitive Chinese martial art that integrates concepts and forms from various traditional and modern Chinese martial arts, including Shaolin kung fu, tai chi, and Wudangquan. “Wushu” is the Chinese term for “martial arts”, “Wu” = fighting or self-defense, “Shu” = art, reflecting the purpose of art as a compilation and standardization of various styles according to Peter Lorge.

In the women’s wushu event, Bacyadan won a silver medal in the 65kg division at the 2017 Kazan, Russia World Championships. She won a silver medal in the 65kg division at the 2017 Sanda World Cup in Foshan, China.

In women’s vovinam, she won a gold medal at the 2023 World Championships in the 66kg division in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. At the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia, he won silver in the 65 kg class.

Bacyadan changed his sport to boxing and participated in the 2019 ASBC Asian Grand Slam Boxing Championships in Xiamen, China as part of his bid to qualify for the Summer Olympics.

Bacyadan qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris by defeating Maryelis Yriza of Venezuela at the 2024 World Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.
