My family loves this gym!!! My 6 year-old did a trial class and when I watched Coach Jason and Coach Stephen interact with those kids I was impressed! Sampson locks in with each kid and encourages them and teaches them to believe in themselves and respect others. He teaches all the kids to respect one another. So much positivity. Solid stuff!Oh and my 11 year old joined 2 months later too because I think he realized his little sister would be able to beat him up if he didn’t. Y’all should get your kids to this gym...or yourself!

Great team running things!! This was my first experience. I sought out Jiu Jitsu to learn self defense techniques. I was a bundle of nerves, worried about my age, my current weight (work in progress 😉) we are our own worst critics... My nerves disappeared quickly! The instructor clearly demonstrated the moves being taught, then we broke into partners to practice! It was awesome!! I was able to experience and feel the effectiveness of thesetechniques! I would recommend Everyone try this class, totally worth it!👊💪

Had the pleasure of visiting Coach Jason and his academy while I was in town for business. Was made to feel at home and welcomed at this academy. Coach Jason put on a GREAT class and treated me as one of his own! Thank you coach!

Great staff. Super clean! Everyone was very welcoming.and friendly. Cant wait to return to train.

Did my first 1-on-1 training with Jason and what a blast! If you’re an ex-college athlete like me, this is a great sport to get into. 100% coming back and recommending to friends.

Love this place! Started training here about a year ago with my 12 yo daughter. Would love for my 7 yo daughter to get interested in it too. It has been fantastic! Great coaches! You can easily see how the coaches and team are a family. Coach Sampsons attitude and positivity is infectious and REAL. We have tried other martial arts and coaches and previously and it just wasnt a great fit. THIS IS WHERE ITS AT!

Awesome coaches and a great team! Love working with these guys. Clean facility and cool mats! I highly recommend.

From a friendly voice and conversation that starts with Suzanne as I showed interest in bjj and answering all my questions and doubts to meeting coaches as they were skilled and friendly at the same time, I already feel Im among my family brothers and sisters. Very respectful and caring people..I dont feel Im a number to them, its very personal and they treat you as very important individual. Im lucky but I didnt know Im that lucky to be part of their community. Im definitely going to learn a lot from a bjj skill level to being humble and confident

Excellent training with Professors Sampson and Skylar. Super professional and knowledgeable guys, I learned. A lot in my visit to take back to my own school. Thank you professor! OSS!

The worst place we have ever been. Jason is mean and rude whenever we had any question. Over and unreasonable price with hidden fee/charge. Do not take your kids there, they might learn some fighting skills, but not worth for all negative behaviors they got there.Also wondering how all these 5 stars reviews comes from, do not look real for a business have 100% 5 stars reviews.

I love training at Sampson Jiu Jitsu! Coach Sampson and Coach Mike are top notch instructors that care about their students. They also know what theyre talking about! The whole gym is a close knit community that is like a family. I would highly recommend Sampson to anyone who is looking to improve themselves physically and mentally. Its a great place to step outside of your comfort zone and learn more about who you are as a person.

Absolutely a amazing place to go everyone treats you like family i love it there its help me get a lot of things in cheek with life and has set my goals and mind in the path i needed to goThank you couch your the man and miss Susan your just as much to thank as well#TEAMSAMPSON#💪💪💪

I previously owned a MMA gym and when we had issues with the reliability of our head instructor the Jiu Jitsu community stepped up to help. Jason Sampson was one of those guys. When we sold our gym I told Jason that if he ever opened a gym that we would be there. He did and we came. My son has been training here for almost 2 1/2 years. Professor Sampson is passionate and puts his heart and soul in to his students (especially the kids). My son is almost 7 now, and he loves Jiu Jitsu in no small part because of Jason Sampson and the other coaches here. The confidence, strength, and conditioning that my son has as a by product of this program is worth every penny we have spent and the time we spend commuting here from North Fort Worth. We could find a more convenient Jiu Jitsu academy, but in my opinion not a better one.To the review claiming that Jason threatened a ref... that is an all out lie! I was there as my son was also competing. Jason did disagree with the ref and passionately voiced his concerns trying to protect one of his kids, but then took it up with the head ref and tournament organizer.

Sampson Jiu jitsu is the academy to be at if youre looking for passionate, and high-level coaching. theyll help take your fitness, mentality, and health to the next level.They always have a great family environment, and youll always feel welcomed stepping onto the mats. This is the place to be if you really want that change in life.

Coach Jason and the other coaches are amazing. Our son has been going for a couple of months and we are already seeing so many positive changes in him. The coaches are extremely patient with the kids and the kids all love being there and learning from them. They make training fun, educational and exciting. Can’t recommend them enough.

I am glad we found Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy. My girls are in the Little Champs and Junior Champs classes. They are not only learning self-defense but also building character. Bullying is a big problem in school these days, and it eases my mind knowing that Jiu Jitsu will help, if that situation should ever occur, concerning themselves or someone else. They are learning about teamwork, about being confident in themselves, and about believing in themselves. Jason and Susan are very welcoming, and I can tell they Love what they do. It is a very friendly environment. The coaches are very knowledgeable and make training fun for the kids. I love how they coach all levels of experience with Excellence and Enthusiasm. I highly recommend Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy for kids.

My 8 year old son trains in Jiu Jitsu in Forney, TX. We contacted Professor Jason Sampson for a private training session just to change things up a bit and reset his environment from his regular training. The experience was amazing. Jason is great with kids and has a way to truly inspire them. His skill and training techniques were above my expectations. If you live near the Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy, get your kid in there...you wont regret it. The Sampson Academy will teach your kid many life lessons. Top Notch!

Wrestling was my sport and I have tried my youngest in wrestling the last 3 seasons and he pretty much refused to do anything. We started him at Sampson and he really works in class. It is a combination of great coaches, especially Jason, coach to student ratio, and their class setup. Jason really cares about the kids and they know it. He immediately earns their respect and can bring out the best in them. So happy I got my child started here.

An amazing gym to call your second home! I have never met anyone more passionate and excited about their career than head coach Jason Sampson. I don’t think that man could be in a bad mood when instructing on the mat, he loves what he does too much. He is thoughtful in lesson planning and very encouraging with adults and kids alike. The gym is a beautiful and clean space to train as well. Can’t say enough good things about the people and space at Sampson Jiujitsu academy!

Jason Sampson is an incredible coach and person. I’ve know Jason for over 10 years and he has always been a standup guy. I am lucky to get to work with him and his wife to this day in the fitness and training world for my next fight.

Jason and Susan are extremely dedicated to Sampson Jiu Jitsu and their students. They welcome you like family and genuinely care about each and every one of their students. I have never seen a family so dedicated to helping your family succeed and meet goals with Jiu Jitsu. They will be there to cheer you on whether you are in class or at a tournament.

This place is my sons haven to just be himself, build his confidence and just have fun. He absolutely LOVES Jason Sampson!!! All around great coach and he has a wonderful way of working with his kiddos. Highly recommend bringing your while family!!!!

Sampson Jiu Jitsu os an amazing place to learn self-discipline and self-defense. The instructors are beyond knowledge and encouraging. My fellow classmates are also a blast to train with! If you’re wondering if Jiu Jitsu is for you, you have to come check out the gym and meet all these great people!

I was in Dallas overnight and I’m extremely happy that I visited Sampson Jiu-Jitsu! The class was EXCELLENT, I came back with new techniques 😊 but the best part was the experience with the team. They made me feel like family, this is the way the all treat each other. Jason and his wife Susan were amazing! Highly recommend this school.

Sampson is such an amazing coach! I dont live in TX, but I am often in Grapevine, and is always a pleasure for me to train at his gym. Even if I train regularly in my hometown (BJJ blue belt) there is always some new trick that coach Sampson shows that is useful to bring home!

Great place to learn, train and grow both as a person and on the mat. Family environment makes it very welcoming and a very great place to train. Jason and Susan do a great job I can’t say enough nice things about them. Give Sampson a shot you won’t regret it for a second.

It is very rare to find a gym that is so welcoming and a coach that works so hard to train and inspire his students. Jason Sampson is by far one of the best coaches and mentors I have had. He constantly pushes and builds his students up and has a positive and uplifting attitude every single day. It doesn’t matter if you have never set foot in a gym or if you’re an experienced martial artist; coach Sampson always has something to teach you.

I was in town for a few days for a memorial service. After checking out different gyms online, I decided to stop into Sampson’s. I was warmly welcomed by everyone. The atmosphere was friendly and the instruction was fantastic. I’ve been to many BJJ gyms throughout the country, and this was definitely one of my favorites. If I lived in the area, I would join the gym. I look forward to training there the next time I’m in town. Thank you, Jason and team!

Coach Jason and Susan Sampson have created a program that is second to none. Coach’s inspiring personal drive and deep caring for his students really does bring out the best in every single one. Every coach is fantastic, and my son’s confidence and self-motivation has grown so much in the few months he’s been going here. Add Susan’s warmth and hard work in the front office and it really does feel like another home to all of us.

We are so grateful to have found Jason Sampson and Susan Sampson in the little local paper when they announced their Jiu Jitsu Academy. We have been attending for about a year now and we are so thankful for Jasons and Mikes coaching and encouragement. What an amazing place they have built together and it keeps getting better and better. We are grateful for all that they do and for their dedication to their students!

My kids love this place and Shiner the dog. Coach Sampson is great at motivating kids to work hard and show respect.

I had an amazing time visiting and training at the academy! Coach Jason is top notch and breaks down each technique and explains how all drills apply to real live grappling. The students are very kind and welcoming and make you feel right at home and instantly part of the team! Loved the training atmosphere. Coach Jason is very detailed and focuses on whats important...Drills drills drills! Practice makes perfect right? He is very supportive and makes sure he makes time to focus on each and everyone of his students during their time in class performing the warm up drills, the technique drills, and during live rolling. I had a incredible time visiting the academy, training with the strong based students, and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great place to train and getting your moneys worth!

Great Academy! There is a big difference between sport bjj n self defense. I feel as though in todays bjj not enough focus is on the self defense aspect. This is a self defense first approach. Sampson also pushes you to become the best version of yourself! Im from Colorado but look forward to training here next time I visit!

Jason Samson is the most attentive coach Ive ever had! Spends one on one time with each of his students and actually cares about their well being and progression. Hes more committed to you than you are! Everyone has such a great attitude and also a great family atmosphere...also very clean!One of a kind!

Dropped in for a Friday class today and had a great experience. Professor Sampson is super welcoming as well as all of his students.Extremely clean and organized facility.I would definitely recommend this school to anyone that’s looking for a JJ School, whether they’re just starting out or already have some time on the mat.

My Son has been training here for about 8 months now. Best decision we have made for him for sure. Jason and his guys are incredible instructors! Thanks for all you guys do for the little ones!

Blown away at how this coach has intrigued my daughter. Shes a beginner, she is on 2 days into training and cant wait for the next session. After being surrounded by various sports with my older two children, I think my daughter has found her passion. I look forward to her building strength, skill, respect and most of all building her self confidence. An amazing coach & highly recommend.

Jason is an awesome coach! Incredibly talented, motivated, and dedicated to teaching his students to do their absolute best. I felt very welcomed and comfortable starting as a new student and joining the close knit community at Sampson Jiu Jitsu Acadamy. Susan Sampson is one of the most kind hearted woman Ive ever met and does a fantastic job running the office and working to accommodate the students in any way she can! Its always a great lesson/workout and the highlight of my day going to class!

I’ve been in various sports and activities all throughout my life but in the 7 months that I’ve been coming to Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy I have never had a more passionate, consistent, and motivating coach in my life. Jason Sampson brings people together through jiu jitsu and the community at this gym makes it one of my favorite environments to be in. I’ve stopped dreading working out, I have found my competitive spirit again, and I just feel happier and more confident in myself. Whether it’s for a work out, learning how defend yourself, or to just challenge yourself this a great place with some great teachers. Highly recommend

Jason is a brilliant teacher with patience and heart to maximize the experience and skill of every student. His expert level and commitment to personal growth make him the ultimate instructor. If you live anywhere near Southlake and want the best...Jason Sampson is the only choice!!!

You’re a good dude MyMan! Everyone knows Jason Sampson is one tough son of gun and I love how you use it for the good of life! Keep it up brotha 🙏🏼👊🏼 Osss

I have done martial arts for about 20 years and have known the head professor, Jason Sampson for most of those years. Jason is an incredible athlete that offers a lot of talent and knowledge to share on the mats. The new facility has plenty of space and great for the entire family to join together. If you are nearby, then it is a must to go check this place out!

An awesome school for BJJ - a Carlos Machado Affiliate with excellent stuff! If youre looking for a Jiujitsu school, this is your number 1 choice.

Ever since May this gym has been my second home. My boyfriend brought me to Sampson’s with the simple idea of teaching me self defense. Little did I know, 5 months later I would be winning my first ever gold medal in my first Jiu jitsu tournament. Jason is the most passionate coach you will ever find. The second i walked in, I was greeted with open arms and huge smiles. Susan does an excellent job running the office. She is more than willing to work with your specific needs. You very much can tell that their students are their number one priority and I could not be more grateful. The students and team really have become my family. They are there for me in the good days and bad. Any day I go to Sampson’s, is a good day.

I have know Jason for a long time. His credentials speak for themselves. This is a world class training facility. There is absolutely no place in the area that will compare!!

Best Jiu Jitsu program in Southlake hands down! You wont find this quality of instructors anywhere else in the area. Keep it up, you guys are great!

Yesterday one of my dreams came true...I was on the mat training with one of my boys. Blake has been training in Brazilian Jiujitsu for about 3 years now, and is doing awesome! Friday morning was my first BJJ class, and I loved it! I have been a martial artist for over 32 years. It felt so awesome (and humbling) to be a white belt again learning something new. Training with my son made it even more special...caught myself almost getting emotional as I worked with him. I am so proud to be his dad.Thank you Jason for helping make my dream come true. You are an awesome coach, and making a huge impact on Blakes life. I am one very happy dad!

I have been training Jiu Jitsu with Coach Sampson for almost 8 years. I travel for work and have the opportunity to train at various academies. I rarely find a school with the high level instruction and attention to detail I get from Coach Sampson. Whether you are a beginner or advanced Jiu Jitsu player. You will refine and elevate you game at Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy!

Professor Sampson knows how to get after it! Him and his wife run great clean classes. I was Visiting Dallas for the day and had to stop by and get some training in. Everyone is very friendly and goal oriented. There whole purpose is to get everyone better in jiu jitsu and Striking. Would highly recommend their academy if you are moving here or visiting the Dallas Area!Come in with a positive mindset and get some training in! Thanks to the Sampson Family!

Great place to train. The instruction is top notch and the students are welcoming and good training partners. As Coach Sampson says, Jui Jitsu is for everybody.

These guys are a Certified Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu School. If you want top notch instructors, a pure Jiu-Jitsu lineage, and a curriculum that will fast track your growth to legendary, this place is for you.

Jason is a phenomenal coach! Whether youre there to compete, get in shape or just want to protect yourself hes your guy. Come sign a waiver and give it a shot, you WONT regret it.

Since day one of training with Jason Sampson and his wife Susan, they make you feel like family. He truly enjoys teaching people of all levels and takes great pride in all his students. Its a great opportunity to learn from Coach Sampson and to increase your knowledge of Jiu Jitsu.

My son has been training with Jason for about 3 years now. I couldnt ask for a more passionate, driven, caring coach. Seeing my son grow and learn under Jason is what finally got me to start training as well. If youre a beginner or youve been training for years, you should definitely check out the gym. You wont find a more welcoming and warm family to join. I do mean family, because thats what we are at this gym, family.

Rarely will I actually sit and review a business, especially in the positive light, but Sampson BJJ deserves the accolades. After coming off retirement (military) and an extensive period of an Injury, the coaches and students at Sampson BJJ welcomed me with open arms. With my limitations in both experience and physicality, Coach Sampson and his staff has worked with me, quite patiently, to improve myself within both the realm of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and overall fitness. The instructors at this academy have an easy to learn and fun teaching methodology in addition to creating an environment where you WANT to learn rather than feel you are forced to. These guys are top Notch, and I look forward to giving a yearly review when I train with them for a longer period of time. Thanks for the training and support, thus far! Highly recommended.

We love Sampson JiuJitsu! My kids started a few months ago and I have nothing but positive things to say. It takes special people to coach and lead little kids but Coach Jason is very motivating.

We have been too many Jiu Jitsu Studios and Sampson is definitely one of the best. My son is 8 years old and has been in Jiu-Jitsu for 3 years we have been at Sampson Academy for the last 3 months and we have improved more in the last 3 months then we have in the last 3 years.Discipline, Technique, and Respect.

So i have been training with Jason since the summer of 2015 and i have never met a instructor quite like him his ability to break things down to the simplest form so everyone in the classroom will understand hes great with kids and adults a very compassionate, kind and a very understanding man who goes out out of his way to make you feel right at home if your looking for a great gym and a great family environment this is definitely the place to be!

Best family atmosphere. Everyone growing and thriving through jiu jitsu here!

I cant say enough about Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy. Jasons ability to connect with his students and break down each movement into the smallest details,makes learning fun and easy.Whether you are a hobbyist or have aspirations of becoming a World Champion,I know Jason Sampson can help you achieve your goals

There is no other facility I would recommend anyone to for wrestling or Jiu jitsu besides the Sampson Jiu jitsu academy. Jason is far and away the best martial arts instructor Ive had throughout my time. A great learning atmosphere for people of all ages and a great way to get into shape!

Our daughter has been attending for 2 months and we are extremely pleased with Jason and his staff. The group setting still allows for a lot of individual attention each session. She has learned a lot in a short amount of time.

Awesome gym, awesome coaches, awesome atmosphere to train. I don’t have enough great things to say about this place!

Words cannot describe the passion and heart that Jason puts into developing his students life skills and their martial arts!!

Sampson is amazing. Teaches everyone cares about everyone and always has a smile on his face and is excited to teach.

Amazing gym and atmosphere! Excited to be a part of the team here!

Always a great lesson and workout with Coach Sampson. Clean gym and well laid out facility that is inviting and functional.

Jason and Steven are by far fantastic coaches and their work and effort show with every class. You can see it improve the kids every time by every technique they work with them on over and over.

We have been with Sampson Jiu-jitsu for over a year. Our son has developed a lot of confidence and skill with coach Jason and coach Mike. The whole team is wonderful.

This place is AWESOME!!! We had a couples self defense class and learned allot of real life solutions to bad situations.

Coach Sampson is a great instructor. I recommend his academy to anyone wanting to learn BJJ!

Had to brag on Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy for giving my son such a wonderful experience with Jiujitsu ! I enrolled him in a few other martial arts class, but they did not meet my expectations. I wanted him to learn discipline, confidence and Coach Sampson has instilled this in my son! Brazilian Jiu Jutsu is not easy and there has been a few tears here and there because he truly had to put in hard work and effort every time he steps foot on the mat! I was so proud of him yesterday at his belt promotion because he worked his tail off and truly earned every stripe. If you are looking for a martial arts school that truly cares about making your child the best they can be, Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy is it! #Trainlikeachampion #trainwithachampion #teamsampsonOne more brownie point about this Academy, his wife is the bomb dot com! Susan Sampson😁 Love her whole positive vibe both husband and wife listens to any concerns you may have for your child and helps implement strategies to help them physically and mentally! #noonewillbullymyson

I was visiting from out of town, came for a drop in and was amazed at the level of both customer service and instruction. Would highly recommend to anyone, these are true martial artists in every sense of the word.

Jason is an awesome coach and is very knowledgeable in mixed martial arts and Brazilian jiu jitsu. I have trained on and off throughout the years and I have never met a coach quite like Jason. Jason always has a positive attitude for his students and knows how to get them working hard. He shows how much he cares by putting in extensive detail into his coaching and his relationship with his students. Jason knows how get everyone motivated to better themselves and to continue to grow in mixed martial arts and everyday life. Training at Sampson jiu jitsu has been a blast and provides positive growth for everyone at all levels of martial arts. Thank you Jason !

I highly recommend Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy both as a parent and as a professional counselor/youth advocate.Our son started training at Sampson Jiu Jitsu 14 months ago. We first attended to support and help cultivate his interest in the learning the sport. Quickly we realized that Coach Sampson was doing more than building skill, he was partnered with us in building character in our son.When you sit and observe a class, you will hear Coach Sampson and Coach Mike say things like we make each other better we are a team believe in yourself dont give up train like a champion. All are phrases that sound good when you observe one class.When you attend for several weeks, you will recognize that the phrases are not just words...they are the true core practices of training at Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy.The students in my sons class are not just kids that he knows from jiu jitsu, they are his teammates and have become friends and family.Though the students may be dressed similarly in rashguards or gi, they are all distinct individuals with very different personality styles. Some are reserved, some are tenacious and outgoing, others are naturally shy and timid. ALL of them train together, encourage one another. Each has individual areas to enhance (both in technique and personality). Coach Sampson has an amazing ability to recognize what each student needs individually and uses the team approach to truly make each other better.I love going to Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy as a parent. You are always greeted and feel welcomed by Susan Sampson and you rarely will leave without Coach Sampson making his rounds to let you know hes happy to see you.The other parents are just as hospitable, its awesome to watch our children train together and to see how far they have progressed individually and as a team.Our 13 year old daughter is ready to join in the fun too! I know firsthand as a counselor how difficult middle school years are for todays youth. I am so thankful that my daughter desires to surround herself with such a positive social and peer influence.Finally, I highly recommend Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy as a professional working with youth, for all the reasons that I take my own children there, and more. Coach Sampson and Susan are 100% genuine and real people. I had the opportunity to invite them to speak with some of the young men who I was providing school based services for.I worked with some of them for 3 years, at the end of their visit with Coach and Susan Sampson, with tears in my eyes I looked at my colleague and said this was the by far the most impactful intervention I have had with these boys. When teenaged boys let down their defensive guard and truly connect with someone they have never met within one group discussion over lunch....that speaks to me of the calling Coach Samson has...to genuinely connect with people and help build them up.Money can buy skills teaching and training, but it cannot buy the genuine care, connection, and community that are found when you are a part of Team Sampson.

I was in need of a temporary home to train while away from my regular gym. Jason and his wife Susan welcomed me with open arms and i felt at home immediately. Jason has a tough love style to his teaching, and i think it produces great results. His students are some of the toughest ive ever rolled with, while still being incredibly humble and focused. If youre looking to supercharge your BJJ journey, Id recommend sampson jiu jitsu any day.

Jason is by far the best in the buisness
