Flatbush Fists | Part One | The Needle On The Compass

Over 50 years ago, Haisan Kaleak turned to the martial arts not just as a means of protecting himself on Brooklyn's streets, but for the unification of mind, body, and spirit that the discipline offered. After training with Supreme Grand Master Dr. Moses Powell - founder of the Sanuces Ryu Jujutsu system - Haisan developed and grew his own practice in Brooklyn, eventually opening up his own school in East New York. Today, along with Grand Master Bill McCloud and other members of the Sanuces family, Haisan Kaleak continues to spread the knowledge of the martial science by method of the Jiu Jitsu art, as taught to them by their grand master, Dr. Moses Powell. -- This video is from BRIC TV— the first 24/7 television channel created by, for, and about Brooklyn.
