Dr. Glenn J. Morris, PhD, ScD

In loving memory of Dr. Glenn J Morris, 1944-2006

Tao came across Dr. Morris’s books in 1998. In 2003 he attended a lecture of Dr. Morris’s , spoke with him privately afterward, and then brought Santiago along to one of Dr. Morris’s K.A.P. seminars. Soke Morris was incredibly gracious and generous with knowledge that is kept secret from many practitioners. Noting that Santiago and Tao had both initiated Kundalini on their own using Tantric techniques, Glenn gleefully dumped even more energy into “the boys,” as he calls them, and privately showed them some of his pet tricks. Dr Morris is responsible for showing us how to readily access the void – to go beyond bliss states to the primordial nature of the mind. (Nirbija samadhi). This is one of the greatest gifts any of our masters have given us.

Dr. Morris has the largest quantity of physical prana (chi) of any individual we have ever met. It is hard not to feel his presence. His techniques are simple and powerful. We owe him a great deal for his trust and tutelage, and we continue to send our students to him to be overhauled by a true modern Qi Gong grandmaster.

Thank you, Soke!

Biography of Dr. Glenn Morris, PhD, ScD

The following biography was excerpted, with Dr. Morris’s consent, from his 2004 website.

“The Grandmaster or Soke of the Hoshin System is Dr. Glenn Morris. Dr. Morris has trained in the martial arts for over forty-five years. He began studying jujutsu, then judo, tai chi, kung fu, karate, boxing and wrestling. He earned his first black belt in jujutsu in 1965 while in the U.S. Army and taught self-defense in Germany for 3rd Med and later at Penn State University. He began teaching the Hoshin system of meditation and martial techniques at Hillsdale College in Michigan in 1980. In 1982, he and several students became interested in ninjutsu and began attend seminars with Stephen Hayes. This exposure to ninjutsu led to training under Hatsumi-Soke and a relationship of respect that continues to this day.

In 1985, Dr. Morris endured the greater kan and li of nei shen gung fu, sometimes referred to as Kundalini and in 1986 was made a member of the Chinese National Institute of Chi Kung. In 1990, he achieved the rank of godan and shidoshi in bujinkan budo taijutsu at the Atlanta Tai Kai. In 1991 he was given the rank of rokudan and title of oshihan in nihon karatejutsu. In 1992, Dr. Morris was inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall Of Fame. In 1989, he was recognized by the government of South Africa as a master instructor of martial arts by their Wu Shu Federation while he was putting on demonstrations in Johannesburg.

Dr. Morris has trained in Japan with Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. In his own words, “Since I’ve studied a number of martial arts, traditional and modern, I tend to be eclectic in how I teach. One should be able to pick and choose in an art where they are comfortable. I see martial arts as both a philosophy of life as well as a collection of techniques for defending oneself. I include strategy, meditation, weapons, and viewpoint as well as energy channeling and the overt development of chi as part of the instruction in hoshinjutsu.”
