Sanuces Ryu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sanuces Ryu is a school of jujutsu founded in 1959 by the late Moses Powell. Sanuces Ryu means, “Survival By Simplicity” and teaches the skills of blocking, striking, throwing, and subduing in many applications.

Sanuces is a combination of PIA Nerve Striking, Bando, Goshin-Do Karate, Boxing, and that which Powell had acquired from Visitacion. Sanuces Ryu aims to use the powerfulness of Karate, the agility of Boxing, the speed of Arnis Stick Fighting and the nerve attacks and joint locking of Jujitsu.

"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 gracefulness. Sanuces Ryu is Jiujitsu! Jiujitsu is the science of striking, grabbing or pulling areas of an attacker's body causing severe and intense and possible debilitating injuries. This is not a sport --this is self-defense." -- - Moses Powell

[edit] Sanuces Ryu Creed

“A man or woman of the Martial Arts, is one who thinks at all times. They possess speed, form, power, techniques and gracefulness. They move like the roar of thunder, and strike like the speed of lightning. That’s what a man or woman of the Martial Arts is, Sir!” This creed must be memorized by every Sanuces Ryu student.[citation needed]

[edit] Influences

Jujutsu is the art of combat utilizing striking, grabbing or pulling areas of an attacker’s body causing severe and intense pain and possibly debilitation injuries. The base of jujutsu was provided by Moses Powell's main instructor, Florendo Visitacion (known to many as Professor V), founder of Vee-Jitsu Ryu. Aside from this base, aikijujutsu, kyusho-jitsu, karate, boxing, and arnis were major influences.
