The level of training you get is serving to none. I started with Professor Morizi over 3 and a half years ago. Let me explain how it changed me. I was broken mentally and physically from the Army. I started with him and his team shortly after it opened. I lost over 60 pounds, slept better, felt better and have been comp off of PTSD medication after 3 months. You will gain confidence, fitness and self esteem. The kid's program is amazing. The kids learn and have fun doing it. I promise you, you'll never have a problem with them falling asleep after class. Give it a shot. Take a free class. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had no experience with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before coming to Morizi Jiu-Jitsu, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to start. Professor Brian Morizi and the entire team create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone takes the time to explain techniques, help you train effectively, and ensure safety. The instruction is top-notch, and the community is incredibly encouraging. Whether you're brand new like I was or have experience, this is an amazing place to learn and grow. I look forward to every day I get to roll. read more

I have known Brian Morizi since 2011. He is not only one of the most cerebral practitioners I have ever met but also a phenomenal teacher. His ability to provide suggestions and analyze styles and moves that fit for people is great. My time training with him greatly helped my game and also overall knowledge. Also, one of his best qualities, he has a great personality and passion for Jiu-Jitsu. He can be humorous and funny but also serious and focused when required. I would highly recommend training with him and learning from one of the best men I know. He will improve your skills and make your experience very enjoyable. read more

Brian is hands down one of the most technical instructors I have ever encountered. I have taken multiple privates and classes from Brian down in San Diego. I highly recommend his school if you want to learn solid jiu jitsu technique and want to be a strong competitor. read more

Brian Morizi is a world class instructor. The classes offer a safe and fun environment to learn in. In 4 weeks I've lost close to 10 lbs. The classes are great for kids and adults of all (or lack there of)athletic abilities. read more

For those living in the eastern Oregon area - you should realize how fortunate you are. I have trained with and under Brian for several years during his time down in San Diego, and the level of his jiu jitsu is undoubtedly world class. I've watched him dismantle some of the world's best in the training room and in competition. If it were not for some unfortunate injuries that he has sustained I guarantee you he would be among the absolute best in sport jiu jitsu. His systematic and highly technical approach to teaching is top notch and guarantees results if you put in the work on your end. At least give his gym a try, it could change your life. read more

I had the pleasure of having Brian Morizi as an instructor and training partner for many years. I can say without a doubt that his attention to detail, teaching methodology, mindset and passion for the sport helped my Jiu Jitsu reach a level I would have never thought possible. I enjoyed every single one of his classes and feel privileged to have shared the mats with him. He was integral part of my journey to Black Belt and I hope to get the chance to train with him in the near future! read more

I have known Brian for nearly ten years. He has not only been a training partner but a great friend. From the first time we trained together, I was learning something new. He has been a wealth of knowledge when it comes to not only the technical skills of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but the athletic performance, and philosophies behind the martial art. He continues to push himself within art, keeping up to date and with current trends and evolution of the sport. His teaching speaks for itself in the fact that you can see his students being able to comprehend and execute the techniques in a short amount of time, while learning in a way that allows them to retain the information. The PNW is priveleged to have such an amazing Black Belt! read more

We would have loved to get our son started with Morizi Jiu-Jitsu but were told that they were not interested in our participation. Our son is 13 and is trying to find a good sports "fit", we have heard amazing things about Jiu-Jitsu. But, unless he can commit to at a least year they were uninterested in our business. As this is a year when middle school sports are lacking and kids are looking for activity, this is deeply frustrating. This business has an incredibly elitist attitude. read more

Morizi Jiu-Jitsu is a well run, clean, family friendly environment where anyone, including children and women, can feel comfortable studying Jiu-Jitsu.
