Silat Suffian Bela Diri

Posted on 14/05/200814/05/2008 By Reedz

Had the pleasure of catching up with fellow seria boy, Maul Mornie, who’s back from a majorly successful tour of Europe, conducting workshops and seminars on SSBD. Maul’s back only for a short break before he leaves for Europe, US, and Australia next month. Some people get to do what they love for a living and travel the world as well!

We talked about a lot of things during the two hour session, but the main focus was of course SSBD. The past, present, and future for Maul. I found him to be a down-to-earth chap with a very practical outlook on life, much like his approach to martial arts. An engineer by training, Maul applies scientific principles to his martial arts training, like body mechanics, physics, etc. which means the moves that result from his training are more a result of applying these principles rather than any given technique. Intriguing? More on Maul’s blog and Youtube site.

The plaque which was presented to Maul by Commandant – Tenente Giuseppe Campisi and Vice Commandant – Maresciallo Michele Scansani of the Guardia di Finanza. In Maul’s words, “… one of the most proudest moments of my life.” And so you should be dude!

    Izam: Maul will be running a 5hrs INTENSIVE SELF DEFENCE COURSE on the afternoon of Sunday, 25th May 08. I believe this is the one and only course he’s running before he leaves for his next tour.

    Its open for everyone, regardless of gender or fitness level. Open for any martial art styles or even if you have no martial arts experience at all. Raise your knowledge of awareness in “Reality Self Defence”.

    Age restriction is for 16 years old and above only.

    If you are interested to participate in this seminar please contact or sms Harris at 8835880

    Carlo: Sono d’accordo con voi 100%! Il Maul รจ uno del meglio!
