Ziran Martial Arts

Though I’m a bit late in sharing, I had an absolutely fantastic time hanging out with the incredible Maul Mornie and experiencing Silat Suffian Bela Diri ! September in Brisbane and Sydney was filled with joy, as I reconnected with old friends and made wonderful new connections.

Thank you, John Schieven, for organising everything. I also appreciate Ming Lee and Chris for all their support. A huge thank you to sifu Dave for hosting us at your dojo in Brisbane, and to Oliver for letting me stay at your place. Lastly, thank you to all my training partners for your patience and support! .ming

Thank you, Sifu Jack Leung , for showing us around Brisbane! Also, massive gratitude to Sifu Dave Richardson for hosting the Silat seminar. I truly appreciate both of your patience and support in training with me. One of the best aspects of training in various martial arts is the opportunity to meet practitioners from different disciplines. Seeing how each style approaches movement, strategy, and self-discipline is always inspiring. Being surrounded by such diverse skill sets not only broadens my perspective but also challenges me to grow in my own practice. This experience serves as a reminder that, while the paths may differ, dedication and passion remain the same.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible Maul Mornie for coming to Australia! It was a true honour to immerse ourselves in the art of Silat Suffian Bela Diri over two weekends in Melbourne and Brisbane. Your dedication and generosity in sharing your knowledge have inspired us all. I would also like to thank John Scheiven and Ming Lee for hosting and organising these events. I am looking forward to our next one in September!

Sunday morning Silat session at Shusei Kai Martial Arts! It’s always great to meet martial artists from various disciplines, practice some Silat concepts to understand body mechanics, and drill down on the basics!

When the swords sing! It was a remarkable experience to stand before Shawn and test our ability to apply and exhibit our understanding of the concepts under pressure. When performed properly, the swords resonate beautifully, and the blades become sharper, leaving behind bits of metal shavings on the floor. We also embraced the vital lesson of releasing the ego. Letting go of ego empowers us to face challenges and fosters our growth. His patience, generosity, and genuine kindness inspired us deeply, driving us to train diligently and develop our skills in the sword art. If you feel inspired to train with him, please follow and .

Huge thanks to Shawn Zirger from for making the journey all the way from Canada to Australia and sharing two incredible days of martial arts knowledge with us! Your passion, skill, and dedication to Southeast Asian sword arts were truly inspiring. Every session was packed with insight, technique, and a deep respect for the traditions behind the blades. Thank you .hume.58 for hosting and organising the seminar.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and can’t wait to train with you again in the future. Safe travels, and until next time!
