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.

Professor Porter is as solid of a coach as they come. I have trained with him and watched him train adults and kids with a great passion. I suggest anyone who wants to train in any capacity please try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Porter has been a tremendous help for me in my training. I’ve shared the mats with him for the past 6 years. He has coached me several times and has increased my leg lock game which helped me win a couple competitions. Truly appreciate it.

Coach Porter has been a crucial part of my kids jiu jitsu journey. He helped my daughter appreciate and love training in GI. He isn’t just a great coach but a great mentor and friend. My kids have been training for almost 5 years and I can proudly say he has been a big part of those 5 years! Can’t wait for Velocity to open up and for Coach Porter to teach his amazing skills! Thanks for being so amazing F😉
