280 Commerce St Suite 175, Southlake, TX
Sampson Jiu Jitsu Academy in Southlake is built around owner and head instructor Jason Sampson, a third-degree black belt directly under Carlos Machado. Sampson’s background extends well beyond the academy mat: his official bio identifies him as a Pan American champion, an All-American wrestler and a Bellator veteran with a 14-1 professional MMA record. That mix gives the school a distinctive technical identity. Students are learning under a coach with deep BJJ lineage, collegiate wrestling experience and real professional fight experience rather than a purely recreational instructor résumé. Let’s Roll’s current ADCC activity data also links seven athletes to the academy, with Alexander Cardinal the leading points name. For grapplers around Southlake, Grapevine and the north DFW area, Sampson Jiu Jitsu is particularly relevant to people who value owner-led instruction and wrestling/MMA crossover. The academy’s story is specific: Carlos Machado lineage, a proven competitive head coach and a current active-competitor footprint.
