Good Evening,

Sadly I report the passing of Grandmaster Moses Powell. Moses and I were classmates under Prof Florendo M. Visitacion, (Prof. Vee) Founder of Vee Jitsu Ryu Ju Jitsu. After earning his black belt Moses went on to become the founder of Sanuces Ryu Ju Jitsu.

At this time, Grandmaster Phillip Chenique is with Mrs. Powell taking care of the funeral arrangements. He will be missed by thise who knew him.

Rest In Peace My Brother!

What a great pic of GM Powell, thank you for posting it. For all who are interested, I just spoke with GM Philip Chenique nd he is on the way to see Mrs. (Gina) Powell again. It looks as if the funeral home will be the "Palm Bay F.H." in Palm Bay Florida.

I will know post details later.

Grandmaster Dr. Moses Powell is well-known. Hokkien Martial Arts expresses our deepest condolences to his family, students and friends.

We will always remember his immortal words: "I've seen some cats do some crazy stuff... but can they fight?"

Blessed Be.

Greetings

I first saw and heard of Master Powell in the late 70s and was very impressed.

He will be missed by those who know and loved him.

Everyone will gather this Friday at 2:00 PM at the Palm Bay Funeral Home in Palm Bay Florida. As per GM Powell's wishes he will be cremated.

I am still in a bit of shock at his sudden passing. I am told that he just quit breathing. No Pain no discomfort.

I was last with him about 15 months ago. I was stunned to see him confined to a wheelchair. He showed me a rather large surgical scar he had down the back of his neck. His spirits were high though. Bless his dear heart, he will be missed.

Coming from a Vee JJ background myself, I was saddened to hear about the passing of the legendary Moses Powell and offer my condolences to not only his family but also to his extended martial arts family as well.

I am terribly sorry to hear of Moses' passing. I knew him when I lived in NYC. Worst thing is that I am about 15 minutes from Palm Bay and I would have definitely gone to the service had I known.

Professor,

Were you able to attend the memorial services for Moses Powell ? If so, will you enlighten us as to who attended the service ? In particular, any well known persons from the Vee systems in attendance ?

Sincerely,
