Sanuces
Ryu Jiu Jitsu is the “Eye-To-Eye”
system of Jiu Jitsu developed by
Grand Master Dr. Moses Powell. The system derives its base from
Jiu Jitsu,
“The
Mother Art” from which Karate, Judo, Aikido, etc. were
born.
Dr.
Powell has trained and taught in the Martial Arts since 1954.
He sought
to perfect a system of self-defense for modern day man and an
open hand
system that would enable men, women or children to protect life
and property
in the environment, which we now live.
Sanuces
Ryu means, “Survival
By Simplicity”
and teaches the skills of
blocking, striking, throwing, and subduing in the practical
(street)
application. It also teaches the, “Art”:
The movement of an intelligent
mind, controlling a disciplined body in a display of speed,
form, power,
technique and gracefulness.
“Sanuces
Ryu is Jiu Jitsu! Jiu Jitsu is the science of striking, grabbing
or pulling areas of an attacker’s body causing severe
and intense pain and
possibly debilitation injuries. This is not a sport. This is
self-defense.”

Sanuces Ryu Creed (Which Must Be Memorized
By Every Student)
“A

They
possess speed, form, power, techniques and gracefulness.
They
move like the roar of thunder, and strike like the speed of
lighting.
That’s
what a man or woman of the Martial Arts is, Sir!”
