What I Do
What Students / Clients Say
I have had the privilege of training privately under ROY HARRIS on and off for the past 15 years. He has trained me in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and in the ILUSTRISIMO SYSTEM of KALI. I found him a patient teacher and detailed instructor in both arts that he teaches. I would highly recommend him and his martial art material to anyone.
“I have had the pleasure of training with Professor Roy Harris for over 20 years - at his academy and in the privacy of my home. Professor Harris has been instrumental in helping me accomplish one of my most important goals…teaching police officers defensive tactics and techniques to help keep them safe! On a more personal level, Roy has been a great friend and mentor!”
I have had the great opportunity to learn from Mr. Harris for the past 12 years through seminars, private lessons and MMA camps. I have implemented numerous of his training ideas and methods into my martial arts training regiment. These ideas and methods have made a positive impact on my martial arts journey.
As a female Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I often struggle in sparring because the majority of my training partners are bigger and stronger males. Trying to escape their hold-downs, control them from the major control positions, or finish them with a submission can be extremely difficult. But thanks to Mr. Harris's training and advice, I have made a lot of progress in this last year!
