Dr. Moses Powell
Dr. Moses Powell, a 10th degree black belt and one of the true legends of the martial arts world, was born on January 13, 1941 in Norfolk, Virginia. He is the founder of Sanuces Ryu, a fighting style that combines his over 45 years of experience in various martial arts. He is a member of both the Black Belt Hall of Fame and the World Karate Hall of Fame. Dr. Powell was the first martial artist invited to demonstrate martial arts at the United Nations and a featured martial arts demonstrator at the New York World's Fair in 1965. The following year in 1966, he was the first martial artist to receive The African Benign Arts Award. Between 1967 and 1968, Dr. Powell pioneered his craft by traveling overseas to the Caribbean. There, he introduced Sanuces Ryu Jiu Jitsu to the island of Jamaica and Trinidad and to Bermuda in the early 1970's. He was inducted into the International African Arts Festival's "Living Legend" Award, and he was also one of the first African-American martial artists to teach the fighting arts to U.S. law enforcement agencies including the Secret Service and FBI. In addition to these great accomplishments, the Benin Empire of West Africa awarded him the international Benin Award in 1972 for his community work and efforts throughout the world.Dr. Powell was deeply committed to sharing his knowledge and principles with all.
Professor Vee
Florendo M. Visitaction- better known as "Professor Vee"—was born in the Philippines in 1910. He began training in Arnis (Filipino stick fighting) at age ten and continued to practice Filipino martial arts throughout his life. He joined the U.S. Army during World War II and became intrigued by the officers' hand to hand combat course, which represented a combination of styles from different countries. The idea of integrating techniques from a variety of martial arts appealed greatly to him. In 1955, after devoting many years to the study of different fighting styles, he founded Vee Jitsu. In 1966, the American Judo and Jujitsu Federation awarded Vee the title of "Professor" and made him a 10th Dan in his own art. Grandmaster Florendo Visitacion departed on January 4, 1999.
Aquil
Shihan Aquil began his martial arts training in 2000, studying karate, Tae Kwon Do, weapons, and self-defense before joining the Connecticut School of Survival (CSS) under Grandmaster George Logan. He specialized in Sanuces & Kumite Ryu Ju Jitsu, MMA, and grappling, and competed in regional tournaments. He earned his black belt in 2004 and advanced to Rokudan (6th degree) by 2022. Shihan Aquil co-created the Positive Youth Development (PYD) Program, teaching life skills, conflict resolution, and self-defense to youth across Connecticut. Since 2005, he has led after-school martial arts programs and seminars, serves as President of CSS, and was inducted into the Soke Lil John Davis Black Belt Hall of Fame in 2011.
