Who We Are at
David Morris BJJ
Our School
We meet our students on the mats with a calm, confident, and friendly presence. We provide intentional, details-oriented instruction in every aspect of Jiu-Jitsu training. It is a disciplined yet welcoming environment where accountability, consistency, and hard work are encouraged. As students improve their BJJ game, they also begin to build their self-confidence as students and as people. Through a mixture of focused drilling, constraint-led learning, situational sparring, and live sparring, they are given all the tools they need to succeed. Students of all ages can roll on the mats and discover a great experience!
History
David Morris BJJ is a home for authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu education in Cordova. Our story began when David Morris’s instructor stopped teaching, inspiring David to keep the community together. After beginning to teach students in 2014, he earned his black belt in January 2018 and opened the academy in March 2018 as GFTeam Tennessee. With BJJ classes seven days a week, programs for all skill levels, and a new name, we have grown into a home where the entire community can train and thrive!

Everything we do at David Morris BJJ helps us create a special experience for students. Through a combination of experienced coaches, specialized classes, detailed training, and more, we make training with us an all-around experience. Take a look below to see everything we pride ourselves on!
Our team brings a wide variety of experiences to the mats. Led by David Morris, our coaches have trained for many years in BJJ and other martial arts. Everything they’ve learned throughout the years is at the students’ disposal.
There are more than just Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at David Morris BJJ. With Kids Homeschool Jiu-Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals, and Yoga for Jiu-Jitsu, our specialized programs offer another level of training.
We take pride in keeping our students safe in class. By teaching good, proper Jiu-Jitsu, we make sure students learn the right way every day. They aren’t put in situations that endanger their health, as we maintain a clean, well-cared-for facility and prioritize mat hygiene to provide a welcoming training environment for every member.
We host special events throughout the year, including seminars, open mats, in-house training sessions, a booth at the annual MHEA Homeschool Expo, and team gatherings such as our Halloween kids class and summer and fall get-togethers/cookouts that the whole team enjoys.
Our curriculum is highly structured to help each student grow. All our instruction is clearly communicated and structured, ensuring no one falls behind.
We don’t teach self-defense Jiu-Jitsu; we teach good Jiu-Jitsu. Still, our BJJ training is great for self-defense situations. We teach students practical skills that can keep themselves safe in real-life scenarios.
