What is Grappling?
Grappling encompasses the foundation of arts such as wrestling, judo, sambo, and especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which enables you to gain control over an opponent through holds, takedowns, joint locks, pins, and submissions.
Jiu-jitsu grappling is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, known for emphasizing leverage, technique, and strategy over size and strength.

Coach Jimmy found out I had a little bit of training and pretty much forced me to be consistent and start training with him. He welcomed me into the Magness family and helped me grow more than I ever expected, giving me the chance to call Magness my home and share it with my own family. I’m proud to see him branching out and creating Velocity here in Midlothian because it’s exactly the kind of jiu jitsu and wrestling this town needs. Jimmy earned his black belt under the highest ranked black belt in Ellis County, and it shows in the way he teaches and leads.

Coach Porter has been such a blessing for my son. He took him under his wing and believed in him from the start. The confidence, respect, and heart he’s helped build mean more than words can say. We’re so grateful for him!

Coach Porter has been a huge part of my BJJ journey and has been a giant supporter of mine and others on and off the mats. This gym will be the place to be once it opens!
