What is Silat Suffian Bela diri (SSBD)?

Silat Suffian Bela Diri is a traditional family Silat martial art from Brunei, led by Cikgu Maul Mornie.

This unique style emphasizes practicality, adaptability, and effectiveness. Its legacy draws from ancient blade tactics used by Malay warriors. To read more about it please click here.

No prior experience is necessary to start training with SSBD. Our online and in-person classes cater to individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

Maul Mornie is the head of the system.

Underneath we have regional leaders for each continent.

For each state in the USA ,we have an appointed study group leader.

That is all.

All our classes are online and a live camera being on, is required. 

We do not allow any recording during those live sessions, failure to comply will have you removed from the online class.

Going forward, we will slowly start to sell  videos of our curriculum online.

But the regular online classes are mainly live. We do now and then post recorded material viewable for 48 h .

We want people to interact in the online live trainings and not just watch.

We welcome students of all ages, typically starting from age 16 and up.

We do not have any material catered to ages below that at this time.

Yes, we offer 1 online trial class to our monthly subscription.
