The Art of Bela-Diri
SSBD Silat, founded by Cikgu Maul Mornie of Brunei, is a comprehensive martial art focusing on traditional bela-diri (self-defense). The system emphasizes practical application, fluid movement, and the seamless integration of empty hands and weapons.
Unlike sport-focused martial arts, SSBD maintains its roots in real-world self-protection, teaching practitioners to respond effectively to various threat scenarios with economy of motion and devastating efficiency.
