Morris Martial Arts

Morris Martial Arts in Hastings, Minnesota, is led by Master Sam Morris, who began training in 1985 and earned his first-degree black belt in 1987. After years of teaching in different settings, including his own previous school and community programs, Sam established the Hastings location to bring structured Songahm Taekwondo instruction to the area. The school follows the curriculum of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA), emphasizing the development of both mind and body through traditional martial arts training rooted in discipline, respect, and perseverance. The academy’s approach centers on building a solid foundation in Songahm Taekwondo before progressing to advanced techniques. Classes are structured around ATA’s philosophy, which integrates personal growth with physical skills, and includes specialized instruction for children as young as three, as well as programs for teens and adults. Dorothy Morris, the chief instructor, has been with the school since 2003 and focuses particularly on early childhood classes and students with special needs. While the core program is Songahm Taekwondo, Morris Martial Arts also offers an open mat for adults interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, providing a space for additional grappling practice. This complements the traditional striking and forms training with opportunities to explore other martial arts disciplines. The school welcomes drop-ins and maintains a steady schedule that supports consistent training for all enrolled students.
