Student Testimonials
Jan 8, 2025
“Chris and his team are amazing. Class is always fun and he prioritizes the self defense aspect in a lot of things we do. Another big point is that he ensures that everyone gets to train without fear of getting inured or hurt. This is a fantastic Dojo to get your self defense/martial arts game going or like I did re-started after a long break.”

“Chris and his teachers prioritize taking it slow and building fundamentals. They're trying to build a school of proficient jui jitsu players and keep injuries to a minimum while growing our skill and vocabulary. Update: I've been here a year and it only gets better. The teachers are great and the community is wonderful.”

“Chris is an absolutely phenomenal trainer. He tunes in to his clients by both listening to their requests and by carefully observing their fitness levels. As a person with significant medical disabilities(asthma and type 1 diabetes) I only work with trainers who carefully curate workouts to my needs. I have made really great progress thanks to the passion Chris pours into his training sessions.”

“I’ve been doing jujitsu off and on for several years in my life and I’ve been training with Chris and everyone at Morris self defense for a few months now and I have learned more here than any other place I’ve been. My job keeps me very busy so I don’t get to make every class.. but every class I attend I only get stronger and better at my craft. I HIGHLY recommend this school to have fun but to also learn valuable skills in self defense.”

“I have been training with Chris for a year, and I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to defend themselves or get better in jiu jitsu. His style of teaching is great because he breaks down the move, and then we drill it to a science. If you are looking for a great place to train that has a high priority on safety, cleanliness, and just a great atmosphere that focuses on doing your best, building confidence and living a better life, I highly recommend Morris Self Defense.”
