About GFTeam Tennessee

History

GFTeam Tennessee owner David Morris has a long history with Jiu-Jitsu and has trained for 20 years and counting. His journey in athletics began much earlier though. When an injury closed the door on David’s traditional sports career, the door to martial arts training opened. After some time he received his black belt and established GFTeam Tennessee in 2018 in affiliation with GFTeam. As he continues to move forward in his coaching career, he stays inspired by helping his two sons develop vital lifelong skills through Jiu-Jitsu.

Grappling Fight Team, one of the largest BJJ associations in the world, is affiliated with GFTeam Tennessee. Founded by Professors Julio Cesar, Marcus Bello, and Alexandre Barauna in Rio de Janeiro in 1996, it upholds an esteemed lineage of champions. The group was brought together by a passion for Jiu-Jitsu and has now grown into hundreds of international affiliates and over 250 representatives. It expanded beyond grappling and BJJ into MMA, and continues to thrive with each GFTeam location being established.
