Greenwich Jiu Jitsu

Greenwich Jiu Jitsu is led by Jeff Morris, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Master Marcio “Macarrao” Stambowsky, who also holds a first-degree rank. Morris, along with instructors Angel Torres and George Reis—both black belts under notable professors—brings a lineage rooted in solid traditional BJJ with an emphasis on practical grappling skills. Located in Cos Cob, Connecticut, the academy focuses on developing grapplers through a system that balances Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, submission grappling, and wrestling, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of its coaching staff. The school offers a structured curriculum that includes both gi and no-gi classes for adults, with open drop-in options, ensuring accessibility for a range of schedules and training preferences. Youth programs span from introductory classes for ages five and six to middle and high school wrestling preparation, highlighting the academy’s commitment to fostering grappling skills from an early age. This layered approach allows students to progress naturally through fundamental techniques into more advanced grappling disciplines, supported by private lessons for individualized attention. Training at Greenwich Jiu Jitsu emphasizes efficient learning and creative collaboration, aiming to maintain a straightforward training environment that supports steady growth. The facility is wheelchair accessible, reflecting attention to inclusivity. While the academy’s offerings cover multiple grappling arts, the core remains grounded in BJJ fundamentals taught through modern coaching methods, designed to help practitioners develop both on and off the mats.
