The New York State Martial Arts Hall Of Fame was created by Grand Master Dr. Moses Powell to recognize, honor, and celebrate the Martial Artists of the Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu. ​ Sanuces Ryu is the art of self defense developed by Grand Master Dr. Moses Powell. The system derives its base from Jiu Jitsu, the "Mother Art" from which Karate, Judo, Aikido, etc. were born. ​ Sanuces Ryu teaches the skills of blocking, striking, throwing, and subduing in the practical (street) application. It also teaches the "Art" of movement of an intelligent mind, controlling a discipline body in a display of speed, form, technique, power and gracefulness. ​ ​Sanuces Ryu is Jui Jitsu! Jiu Jitsu 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.
