Dr Moses Powell
Grandmaster Dr. Moses Powell (10th degree Red Belt) had approximately 50 years of martial arts experience. Dr. Powell was one of the leading instructors of his time. He is the founder of Sanuces Ryu Eye To Eye Systems of Jiu Jitsu. His search for realism in the martial arts took him around the world, where he was constantly tested in various training halls. This made him strive for perfection and greatness.
Dr. Powell knew that to achieve perfection and greatness in martial arts, one's mind and body had to be honed and pushed beyond limits. This commitment to mental and physical acuteness would be evident in his martial life. He was such an amazing specimen! When it came to physical conditioning and martial arts, he was a "GURU". Dr. Powell had the physique of a wrestler, lumberjack, and longshoreman, but moved with the speed of a cheetah, the gracefulness of a gazelle, and the deadliness of a rattler. He also possessed a martial mind second to none. The way in which he "created" movements was humbling and terrifying at times. When it comes to close quarter combat, he is what we call the "TRUTH".
Grandmaster Dr. Moses Powell trained in various forms of martial arts (Boxing, Vee Jitsu Te, Vee Jitsu Ryu, Shorin-Ryu Karate, Tomiki Aikido, and others). He was also proficient in weaponry (Katana, Jo, Tanto, Arnis sticks, Sai, Yuwara sticks, and Nunchaku). Dr. Powell credits Professor Florendo M. Visitacion (founder of Vee Jitsu Systems) with instilling in him the knowledge and confidence to becomea great martial artist. He also credits his first sensei with changing his entire outlook on life. Professor Vee brought him focus on many levels. Dr. Powell then focused and sacrificed his entire life in search of perfection within the martial arts. He created Sanuces Ryu Eye To Eye Systems of Jiu Jitsu. Due to the plethora of knowledge Dr. Powell possessed, he divided his art into two distinct components. The first component is Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu. At the basic level
Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu means sure-ality, spirituality, simplicity, and survival. At its highest level it means something much greater. This information along with the second component of Dr. Powell's art are reserved for students of the Schools of Moses Powell.
Through martial arts Grandmaster Dr. Moses Powell reached many people around the world. As a humanitarian he helped to reform predicate felons through martial arts and social/mental enhancement. He was also known for his efforts to uplift the African American community worldwide. This quality was selfless, honorable, and impactful. For this and his continued efforts, Dr. Powell received the International Benin Award in 1972. This was a great and humbling honor. As a civil servant (1st African American) he trained some of the elite military and law enforcement units around the world. These units include the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), United States Secret Service, G-2, CID, and others we are not at liberty to mention. He was also featured in many publications (i.e. - Official Karate - Sept. 1973, Defense Combat - Feb. 1976, and The Karate Voice - Dec. 2000 - Jan. 2001).
