SEMINAR TOPIC

.

This seminar covered the takedowns of SSBD. It covers pre-emptive strikes and responsive destructions against strikes that results in a takedown. 20+ individuals from different schools and systems participated in the seminar.

.

The participants were taught how to intercept basic incoming attack offensively rather than defensively. As the seminar progressed, basic nerve constriction, foot trapping and basic strategies were also instructed to compliment the takedown movement.

.

Feedbacks from the seminar, during and after the event was very encouraging. Everyone wanted to know more about Bruneian Martial Arts and Brunei Darussalam in general. A series of other seminar are being planned for future dates.
