Sanuces Ryu Jui Jutsu

Sanuces Ryu Jui Jutsu was the creation of the great Professor Moses Powell. Professor Powell has an extensive background in the Martial Arts, and has created one of the most dynamic styles of Jujutsu.

"Sanuces Ryu 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,technique,power and gracefullness. SANUCES RYU is Jiujitsu! Jiujitsu is the science of striking,grabbing or pulling areas of an attacker's body causing SEVERE and INTENSE PAIN and possible DEBILITATING INJURIES. This is not a sport --this is self-defense."

There is no question that Sanuces is for self defense. One of the most efficient, practical street self defense systems created, and was created in an environment that street effectiveness was necessary. Sanuces was created in 1959. The art includes Nerve Striking, Karate techniques, Boxing, Goshin Do, Aikido and Arnis, as well as Jujutsu. Professor Powell trained under legend Professor Florendo Vistacion, who created Vee Arnis Jitsu. Known as "Professor Vee" he started studying Martial Arts at age 10 in the Philippines. While in the army, Professor Vee started studying 'hand to hand' combat and started looking at combining different styles of Martial Arts. In the 1950's Professor studied with a former marine who shared aspects of Mongolian wrestling and joint locking. He later trained with Nakae, Kiyose who authored Complete Jujutsu. All this led to the development of Vee Arnis Jitsu. Professor loved the Arnis and added many techniques and studied under many of the top Arnis Instructors including Remy Presas. He also became very good friend with Professor Wally jay of Small Circle Jujutsu. All these people had a profound effect on V Jitsu.

Professor Powell who liked to be known as "Doc" learned his lessons well from Professor Vee and developed Sanuces Ryu which was based on simplicity. It incorporates many arts including Aikido, Jujutsu, Karate and Pressure point fighting. No fancy techniques, just street wise simple techniques made to work efficiently. One of Professor's main concepts was to "shock" the attacker in order to set them up for a technique. His principle of Shock'em before you Lock'em can be seen in his technique. There is a definite theme of striking to go along with Professor's Jujutsu. He also worked alot of Pressure Point techniques in conjunction with his Jujutsu. Sanuces is very Principle based, and "Docs" unique way of applying Principle in his technique was awesome. Little catch phrases like "Take something with you when you go" or "Dont go through the living room to get to the kitchen" taught students how to apply their art in a very systematic, but simple manner. Nothing complicated. That's the beauty of Sanuces. One unique aspect of Sanuces is the art fits the student, and the student reflects the art. You will find some students who are more Kempo oriented in their approach to Sanuces and yet another more Judo oriented. So the students influences can be seen in the art as well, something you don't see in every art.

Sanuces Ryu is very spiritual and teaches way more than just Jujutsu techniques. Its a system for personal development, and also helps a person refine his self defense art, and stresses SURVIVAL.  The art also stresses movement and how to incorporate speed, power and gracefulness. "An intelligent mind, to control a disciplined body" . Sanuces has been taught to law enforcement, FBI and Secret Service agents who need practical, functional survival techniques. One of the great attributes of Sanuces is its flowing of techniques, which is not a common trait in most Jujutsu. Flowing movements, lend itself to both striking and locking techniques, and by flowing, one can move between striking and locking or multiple locking without missing a beat. This is why you see law enforcement officials training in Sanuces. You always have some place to go!!!

Professor Powell's art of Sanuces Ryu Jujutsu is one of the most efficient, street wise self defense systems around. It is based on SURVIVAL and has aspects of many arts incorporated in the system. The system is based upon simplistic movement to key areas of the body; thereby dictating controlled responses in defense of one's life.  Professor has produced some top flight student who continue the legacy of Professor Powell. Sadly Professor left us in 2006, but his legend lives on through his students and others who he influenced. This is a tribute to both Professor Powell, his students and the art of Sanuces Ryu Jujutsu
