Hi! My name is Roy Harris. My extensive training background allows me to craft custom-made programs to meet a group or an individual’s needs!

Over the years, I’ve had numerous requests to develop programs suited for groups and/or individual needs – whether they were CEOs, housewives, SEALs, senior citizens, police academy recruits, visually challenged individuals, pilots, federal law enforcement personnel, etc…

I am different, as an instructor, because my main focus is skill development within the confines of martial arts, self-defense, arrest & control, and combatives. Let me explain:

When I use the words “skill development”, I use them to mean more than just cool-sounding marketing words. The phrase should mean something real”, “tangible”, meaningful” and more importantly, “measurable!”

Over the years, I’ve asked several questions to black belts – in various styles – and have listened to silence while watching their eyes roam to and fro in search of words. Here are the questions:

1. What is the definition of the word “SKILL”?

2. After listening to silence for 30-40 seconds, I asked a follow-up question: “If you can’t define what this word means, and you’re a black belt, how do you know when the student actually possesses a skill?” Most black belts replied, “When I see the student perform the technique during sparring!” I replied, “So then, if my 330 lb., former bodybuilder turned powerlifter, white belt student (who’s only been training for two months) spars with your 150 lbs., two-stripe blue belt and taps them out with the Americana technique, does that mean my student has more skill than yours?” We both agreed that size, strength, and athleticism played a role in that outcome. Then, I asked him the pivotal question…

3. “How then do you MEASURE skill?” Again, I was met with a lot of silence – because I was asking a question they hadn’t thought about.

While there is a lot more I could say about this topic, let me end by saying this:

If you’re looking for an instructor who can teach you more than just a wide variety of TECHNIQUES, someone who will care about your progress, then I am your guy!
