. Another successful Silat Suffian Bela Diri - International Bruneian Martial Arts Seminar.
.
The Seminar was hosted and organized by the SSBD Italian group leader - Carlo Andreis (AMADA Gym Association) in Desenzano Del Garda, Italy. It was held in the afternoon of 27th September 2008, from 2.30 pm to 6pm.
.
It was attended by more than 40+ participants from different parts of Europe.
.
SSBD seminars has attracted large number of senior practitioners of different arts. As a result 90% of the participants are Instructors and practitioners from varied martial arts styles attended, from Indonesian Silat, Filipino Kali, Escrima, Jeet Kune Do, Capoeira, Lao Long Dao (vietnamese), Wing Chun Kung Fu, Kung Fu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Karate etc, left their ego at the door and came to experience, give support and exchange ideas. It was great to see old faces (friends) and welcoming the new.
.
It is easy to impress people who are new to the martial arts, but to gain the interest of people who are seniors and seasoned in thier own arts is an experience like no other. Again my highest respects to them for thier openness and support. This world doesnt need people who think that know everything, such arrogance doesnt benefit anyone especialy themselves.
