Expect to get the everyday perspective on Beachfront BJJ and the amazing content they provide on and off the mats, how sleep and screen time impact your wellbeing, how the benefits of bjj transfer to life, Mo's experience in the military and overseas operations, why he has such a passion for helping others and the cost of doing so and much more...
Ryan “Mo” Morris MBE has dedicated his career to the British Military, spearheading significant culture change towards mental health education in the Royal Marines. He is a teacher, coach and mentor with extensive experience of working with people within the community and service, promoting resilience and developing strategies for coping with stress.
Passing out with flying colours, Mo went on to serve in some of the world’s most demanding locations such as Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan’s Helmand province as a Captain in the Royal Marines. Returning to the corps as a physical training instructor, Mo trains new recruits to develop their physical performance, as well as working with amputees to overcome their adversity and prepare people to compete in the Invictus Games and Paralympic Games.
With a clear focus on helping people to overcome stressful situations through lived experience, Mo is dedicated to helping others develop their human performance, whatever unique challenges they face. That’s why agile edge was born, so people have the tools and support to perform at their best.
