Step inside the Greenwich Jiu Jitsu Academy with founder Jeff Morris to explore a story rooted in family, discipline, and service. What began as a shared love of martial arts and time spent training with his family has evolved into a vibrant community hub where kids, teens, and adults build confidence, focus, and resilience - both on and off the mat.

From Jeff's Greenwich upbringing, to his service in the United States Marine Corps, to his career as a crime scene detective, this conversation follows the experiences that shaped his path and ultimately inspired the Academy's mission.

You'll hear about the values that drive the Academy, its inclusive environment for students of all abilities, and the powerful impact of Guardian Greenwich - a scholarship initiative providing completely free Jiu Jitsu training to children who need it most.

It's a story of giving back, creating opportunity, and building a community where everyone has a place on the mat. https://www.greenwichjiujitsu.com/ https://www.greenwichjiujitsu.com/guardian-scholarship-application
