About Us

Velocity Grappling was founded in Midlothian, Texas, with one goal:
To bring world-class Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu to families, beginners, and competitors.

“Velocity” means speed with direction. That’s the heart of our philosophy: training isn’t about moving fast; it’s about moving with purpose. Regardless of age, a brand-new beginner or a seasoned competitor, we help you turn effort into momentum and momentum into mastery.
