In Persuit of Awesomeness :)

To "my page" on Martial Matrix.

I am known for promoting a traditional silat system from Brunei Darussalam known as Silat Suffian Bela Diri (SSBD).

Brunei Darussalam is a small country located in the centre of southeast asia, in the Island of Borneo.

I travel and instruct SSBD in different parts of the world to introduce Brunei Darussalam and to promote Bruneian Martial Culture and what it has to offer.

In 2008, I travelled more then 31 weekends teaching Traditional Silat in different parts of the world, from the Americas, different parts of Europe, Asia and Australia.

For 2009, my seminars are booked in advance for 37 weekends throughout different continents of the world. Bear in mind there are 52 weekends in a year.

Discussion are being made for 2010, but its too soon to comfirm any dates.

Currently I have practitioners from 14 different countries who studies and physically train directly under me. There are no long distance correspondance course, instruction through videos or video gradings in SSBD. I teach as how I was taught. Not that Im saying any other learning methods are wrong, its just that some sublties in some movements can only be felt and not shown. I am honored that these individuals and groups of people understand that true knowledge can only be obtained through "blood and sweat" and have dedicated part of thier lives in the persuit of understanding this Bruneian Martial Culture.

I am not the best, but you can rest assure, I give my best.

Im currently based in Cardiff, Wales in the UK. This is where I travel out from when Im in this part of the world. I return home to Brunei once every 3 months for 6 weeks to be with family and conduct seminars and classes on that other side of the world.

Rather then me blowing my own pipe, I will let you judge my skills, then if you think Im good enough please feel free to leave your feedback. You can read about my martial journey and more information on SSBD HERE and watch my free videos HERE

If you are in the neighbourhood please visit my online group in the communities group link. You are welcome to be an online member or add me as your friend here. You will be the 1st to recieve updates and information on my future seminars and classes, who knows it might be just around the corner from where you live.

Please enjoy my offerings in silat with a cup of tea or coffee. Dont hassle with what is different or what is the same. Just enjoy it as any other entertainment. If you are happy then I am happy.

We have only one life, dont hassle with the small matters. Live it to the fullest with passion and sincerity - and you will reap the rewards.

And please feel free to drop me a line whenever its convinient for you.

My respects always:
