Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu

[surgingshark]

Anyone in this forum practice this style of Jiu Jitsu?

[Jim]

Never heard of it, unfortunately. Maybe it's known under a different name?

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 love the "Eye Of The Tiger" midi.

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...

Yes; I train and teach Sanuces "Eye to Eye" Jiujitsu as founded by the legendary Dr. Moses Powell! For more information concerning History, Training, and Philosophy, go to http://www.hillsidejiujitsu.com Thank you for your inquiry. Mark Walker Sensei....

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

[samurai]

Well, I hope that you have decided to take some lessons! Who does Jimmy train with?

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...

[surgingshark]

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

[samurai]

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