Sanuces Ryu is based upon the simplicity of survival. It utilizes practical street applications. Sanuces Ryu embodies the powerfulness of Karate, the agility of boxing, the speed of Arnis stick fighting and joint locking and nerve attacks of Jiu-Jitsu.
The Sanuces Ryu Bow is one that demonstrates humbleness, respect, peace and gratitude towards the Creator and your fellow man. The Position of the Sanuces Ryu Bow is one of Science and Discipline. Standing at attention with your feet at a 45 degree angle on the square, your hands are out in a servitude and receiving position as if you’re offering your self to someone and receiving a blessing all in one. Your eyes are looking straight ahead and your head is slightly lowered as you bow.
In the Martial Arts we are taught that you should never take your eyes off your opponent even when you bow. With the Sanuces Ryu Bow you’re looking directly at your opponent and viewing all that is around you, with your hands and harms wide open inviting your opponent into the land of no return.
We bow to show respect and appreciation to our instructors and to an opponent and when entering and leaving the Dojo and when getting on and off the mat. The Sanuces Warrior comes in Peace and is never the aggressor but we have the God given right to fight with those who fight with us, self defense. OOOOOS!!!!
Also in the beginning of the Bow we point our index finger up to the Heavens signifying that There is only One God, One System and Family which is Sanuces. Then we place the index finger to our hearts symbolizing the Realness of the Love we have for our God, Teacher and the Art of Sanuces Ryu.
EYE to EYE

To the Wall and Back
A man or woman of the martial arts thinks at all times.
They possess speed, form, power, technique and gracefulness.
They move like the roar of thunder and strike like the speed of lightning.
That is a man and woman of the martial arts. Sir.
