Professor
Coach Clint Harris
Professor Coach Clint Harris started his martial arts journey at a very young age with Taekwondo instructed by his father and uncle in their local club in Maryborough VIC.
Always looking to further his skills as a martial artist he studied whatever he could get his hands on in the local area. He then took up Freestyle Karate which introduced him to Muay Thai, Kali and some basic grappling. It wasn’t until he moved to Melbourne that he got to further his journey.
Under his coach and friend Professor Jeremy Ta’kody he was introduced to MMA, Wrestling and BJJ. From this friendship he was introduced to Professor Norton and has been affiliated with Team Norton ever since.
Professor Clint has been coaching professionally since 2014 including time training in the USA with some of the world's leading UFC proponents. He continues his lifelong passion for all things martial arts as he also heads up the Bushidokai MMA Karate classes under the auspices of Kancho Glenn Coxon.
