Here's the website:

Apparently, Wesley Snipes went there for a bit of training before filming Blade 2. That's what one of the students tell me, anyway.

I hate MIDIs, man, honestly. They annoy me when they keep playing OVER AND OVER AND OVER and the webmaster refuses to let you stop it...

I learned about Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu from my friend Jimmy Morgan. That guy whooped my ass quite well during the semester ^_^

hi there samurai
i am new to this site,and a reasonably high ranking tae kwon do practiotioner.
i have always been astounded by the jiu jitsu style.what i would like to know is:have you ever faught with any tae kwon do students and how would you rate the match up if you did?

samurai

A REAL jiujitsuka does not fight! We train for war! But pray for peace. In our training we deal with every area of combat! tae kwon do is 90%, feet, 10% hands. I ask you this question, if you cannot kick, how would you ward off an aggressive attack.

Using another method of defence...? It's not like jujutsu's lacking in possibilities for dealing with an attacker. Kicks are all well and good, but to get to the point where you will be able to use kicks effectively without already being close enough to grapple takes quite a bit of effort for what is a relatively minor portion of the jujutsu syllabus. better to work on short-range striking (punches, elbows, backfist, knees etc) and throws. That way you are prepared to throw someone in several different ways, weakening them with the close range strikes to allow you to do so.

EDIT: not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with spending time learning to kick. If it works for you then go for it, but I personally prefer closer ranged stuff.

Samurai ---> Jimmy trains with that big dude in the pretty skirt that's on the site =P

Marais ---> For our Martial Arts Finals in LBCC, first Jimmy had to fight a guy who did Wing Chun, then a guy who did Tae Kwon Do (I have it on video...all I need now is a decent PC and a decent video editing program to upload it). They were both incredibly good...Jimmy could kick just as good as the TKD guy. The turning point came when TKD guy realized that all Jimmy was doing was blocking his kicks whenever he made them. TKD guy was forced to come in closer, at which point Jimmy LIFTED HIM OVER HIS HEAD and slammed him down the mat making a very loud thud :-P I'm not taking a shot at TKD...just at the guy. He obviously needs to learn some close-ranged attacks. We're gonna be taking the class AGAIN this January to meet more MAs...

You must be referring to professor Urban. We trained together many times...

Yeah...Urban Muhammad, right?
Man, that is one shiny Hakama he's wearing...

samurai

23-Dec-2003, 08:10 PM

Yes; his wife makes them! She made me a nice one a few years ago that I still wear on special occassions....

surgingshark

23-Dec-2003, 08:12 PM

Wow...that's so cool!
...I wonder if she makes Christmas-Themed Hakamas...

samurai

23-Dec-2003, 08:21 PM

whatever type of material print you buy she can design it!

Hi Survival Welcome to MAP,
As a new member I'm not sure if you now that posting all in caps is regarding as shouting at the other members which is kind if rude, could I ask you to not do so in the future, well unless of course you are shouting at SurgingShark ;)

I've read your profile and it seems like your the man to answer the members questions on Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu, I've personally never see this style practiced and would appreciate it if you could post a little insight into the art.

Thanks,

Col

Peace... Sorry for the posting in caps.I was not aware that it had a meaning.
As for the Hakama, we can make you a custom style set out of any type of materal or patern that you would like, the African print fabrics are realy nice. because as you said, they are very bright.
Sanuces Ryu can best be explaind as operating outside the box. It is a art form that flows like water, it takes away the strength of a powerfull attack, it constantly moves to the attacker taking away his intent and delivering its own explosive results. It teaches you to not be restricted by what you want to do, but to operate with what the situation dictates that you do.

Greetings Professor Urban, the pad in the Hakama you had made for me has withered do to dry cleaning. what can I do to replace that pad. Mark Walker Sensei, Peace

Excellent Answer, Survival :) I know a Sanuces Ryu student, Jimmy Morgan (from the USoSD). His techniques and fight mentality amazed me, thus giving me the interest to perhaps cross train in Sanuces Ryu along with my Tang Soo Do training (it's just the schedule that's holding me back).

Whoa...you're the Urban Muhammad? That is totally cool! Will you be attending the Martial Arts Expo on Feb. 7th? (My dojang is hosting).

And yes, the Hakamas are incredible :)

it takes away the strength of a powerfull attack, it constantly moves to the attacker taking away his intent and delivering its own explosive results.

Being at the receiving end multiple times, I know this very well :)

yes I will be attending the Martial Arts Expo on the 7th and Jimmy will be there also, looking forward to meeting you then.

Excellent :) I'll be manning the cameras for the show (I'm told it will be broadcast on cable). I'll make you a guys copy ;)

See you then!

surgingshark wasn't banned - he just changed his user title to show that he was.

Attention whore? :p

22-Jan-2004, 02:07 AM

Hey, I resent that!
The proper term is attention escort!

Freeform

22-Jan-2004, 06:48 AM

No, the proper term is attention whore. Stop trying to gain attention through the posting of inane drivel and lame attempts at showing off.

And back to the topic please, Survival, would you say Sanuces Ryu is principla based rather than technique based?

Col

SURVIVAL

23-Jan-2004, 09:04 PM

Sanuces is absolutly principle based. We are taught by Dr. Powell that for every principle there are a thousand variations, just understanding that concept, gives you an idea into how versatile the system is.

ie. bones don't bend, they breake!
conclusion, by putting a bone in a unnatural position you will bring about pain and ect. ect.

Greetings,
I train in Sanuces in Maryland with Shihan Brown and Prof. King. I have always been told that Dr. Powell taught entry and exit what you put in between is up to you. Sanuces is about flowing movement and proper timing.

"You can't tell a man to be rigid when that man wants to flow like a stream"(Dr. Moses Powell)

Ous greetings to the sons and teachers of SANUCES RYU. I am new to training SANUCES RYU but have been friends with Hanshi Anton S Muhammad for sometime now (V.A.S.K RYU JITSU). In anycase glad to see Sanuce getting the spot light it deserves. I am tired of hearing people bash the art/style. Nice to see the interest building.
