  • Belt Promotions!

    Belt Promotions!

    With every new stripe or belt promotion, comes more responsibility than the last. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotions are much different than karate promotions or any other martial arts forms. On average, someone who trains karate 2 times a week for 5 years, can obtain a black belt. Unlike, in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it takes 8 to 10 years of constant hard work, dedication and training to earn that black belt around your waist. With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, every belt (other than Black Belt) is required a minimum of 4 stripes. Once you get to that fourth stripe on your belt, you get promoted to the next level of training and responsibility. There are 16 different belt colors you can ....

  • 8 Small Diet Changes to Turbo Charge Your Jiu Jitsu

    8 Small Diet Changes to Turbo Charge Your Jiu Jitsu If you want to reach peak performance in your Jiu-Jitsu, you will need to not only train like a champion, you will also have to eat like a champion. That means NO JUNK FOOD
    . Junk food can sometimes taste good, but is really it worth it? A lot of BJJ athletes will tell you that eating junk food doesn’t slow them down because they have genetics and admittedly, there have been MMA and BJJ fighters who have been less than serious with their diet. However, it should be said that the actual cases of people with genetics to allow them to eat junk food is very small and even they will start to feel side effects once they start to age. ....

  • Should you Compete?

    Should you Compete?

    By: Emily Kwok “SHOULD I COMPETE?” I am asked this question a lot. I often respond, I’m not sure if you should, but here’s why I do. In the beginning it had more to do with curiosity than anything else. There were so few women in jiu jitsu that I just wanted to know how I would fare against someone built more like me. Training for my first tournament gave me focus and discipline, but most of all, it taught me something about authenticity and truth. Making the decision to put a lot of hard work in and putting yourself under internal and external pressure forces you to confront yourself and everyone around you. ....

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.

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.

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.
