Sanuces Ryu Creed (Which Must Be Memorized By Every Student)
"A man or woman of the Martial Arts, is one who thinks at all times, They possess speed, form, power, techniques and gracefulness. They move like the roar of thunder, and strike like the speed of lighting. That's what a man or woman of the Martial Arts is, Sir!"
Jiu Jitsu is the art of combat utilizing striking, grabbing or pulling areas of an attacker's body causing severe and intense pain and possibly debilitation injuries. This is not a sport. This is self-defense." - Adapted by Moses Powell
