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.

My son has trained with Jimmy for over 4 years. Jimmy has a profound passion for teaching and helping others elevate their jiu jitsu skills. If you are looking to improve and build your jiu jitsu game, check out Velocity.

Within my first couple of weeks of training as a complete novice to the world of martial arts, Porter was the first person to tell me that I have what it takes to keep going, and instilled a sense of belief in me. I have not forgotten that specific moment. Highly recommend Coach Porter & his new gym🩶

I’ve been training jujitsu since February 2015, and Jimmy is one of the nicest, most patient people I have met. Without a doubt a great teacher to both adults and children. 10/10 would absolutely encourage anyone if they have the opportunity to train or have their children train with him to do so.

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 was one of my daughters first instructors and he made jiu-jitsu fun while helping her become very skilled at the same time. I highly recommend learning from him as I'm sure he could do the same for you or your children. Not only is he a great coach, but he is also a great person. Even after we moved, we would keep in contact and he would ask about my daughter and wish her the best. I am excited for him as he opens up his own gym and I look forward to visiting with my daughter whenever possible.
