The #1 Martial Arts Academy in Grand Prairie, Texas. Built on camaraderie and hard work — for every age, every belt, every student.
Vasquez Jiu-Jitsu is built on camaraderie and hard work. We welcome martial artists of every experience level and age — by instilling perseverance, BJJ becomes a tool for personal improvement in every part of your life.
Learning martial arts is challenging. Our students learn to overcome and adapt while growing as individuals. If you're looking for an incredible culture and top-quality BJJ in Grand Prairie, Texas, Vasquez Jiu-Jitsu will take you where you want to go.
Everything we teach is rooted in five non-negotiables that guide how we train and how we treat each other.
Show up. Train hard. Repeat. Discipline on the mat translates directly into success off it.
Every training partner — every belt, every body type, every background — gets respect from the moment they bow in.
BJJ is a team sport disguised as an individual one. Our culture lifts every student up — beginner through Black Belt.
Confidence is earned, not given. Every round you survive — and every one you don't — builds the real thing.
Real-world skills. Practical positions. Pressure-tested rounds. What you learn here actually works.
You get tapped. You learn. You come back tomorrow. Jiu-Jitsu teaches you to lose well — and rise faster.
Our staff is the secret to our students' success. A team of highly experienced, dedicated Black Belt instructors passionate about sharing their craft and developing the next generation of martial artists.
Coach Jorge began his Jiu-Jitsu journey in July 2012 at 18 years old under Professor Danny Alvarez out of Arlington, TX. He earned his Black Belt on July 11, 2020 — promoted from white belt to Black solely under Prof. Alvarez. Coach Jorge has never taken a significant amount of time off the mats, a fact that defines his coaching: consistent, technical, and deeply invested in every student's growth.
Coach Diego trains and teaches alongside his brother Jorge — bringing the same standard of technique, intensity, and attention to detail to every class he leads. He is known for breaking down complex positions into simple, repeatable steps and for the calm, patient way he runs the kids program. Students leave his classes more confident than they walked in.
