I am the owner of the North Jersey Judo Martial Arts Center in Pompton Lakes, NJ. I’m lucky enough to live 2 hours away from the Jason Morris Judo Center. We’ve just spent the last two days here all for my son who just turned 20 years of age. I can honestly say Jason and Teri run an amazing facility all gear towards the development and core movement of Judo. For any young adult wishing to take their game to the national level and beyond the Jason Morris Judo Center must be put on your list of places to go. Yes, it’s a hard path but a must! Thank you, Jason and Teri, for your hospitality.

In September 2016 I brought my grandson to JMJC he had PT as part of his school requirements. They had a 3yr plan to get him age appropriate. But by his winter review at school and less the 5 months of being in judo the school was amazed he achieved all the goals they set for him. And he was now age appropriate. Then in February 2018 Jason convinced me to give it a shot. Despite me being a grandfather and having a plate in my neck and 3 screws in my left shoulder. Well I am currently practicing 4 times a week. While I will never be competing my body feels better then it has in over 20 yrs. And everyone there welcomes me and makes me feel that I have something to add by being there. Even if just there so someone has a practice partner.

Jason's Judo center is a great place Jason has helped me a lot with my judo techniques. Jason is very professional and he knows what he is doing as a coach and as an athlete. I also enjoyed training with Jason's Athletes.

Camp Abilities Saratoga is an active educational sports camp for children and teens who are blind or visually impaired. The camp is a service project of the Saratoga Springs Lions Club. Since our first camp in 2014, we have been supported by the Jason Morris Judo Center! Judo is one of the favorite sports of our campers and the support they receive every year from the JMJC coaches, led by Nick Kossor, is tremendous! The programs are very professionally run and organized, leading to positive reinforcement for the campers in reaching their own personal potential. Jason is an avid supporter of our camp and the Lions, for which we are very appreciative! John McDonald Camp Abilities Saratoga President
