Support Jason Sampson's Fight for Recovery

Dear friends, family, and fellow members of the martial arts community,

As many of you know, Jason Sampson has been a guiding light and an inspiration to so many within the BJJ, MMA, and wrestling worlds. His passion for martial arts has not only shaped his career but has positively impacted the lives of countless individuals. Whether as a coach, mentor, or friend, Jason has always gone above and beyond to lift others up and support those around him.

Today, however, Jason is facing the fight of his life.

What was once thought to be a healed neck injury has gradually worsened over time. Despite initial hope and several treatments, the situation has taken a devastating turn. Jason is currently in the hospital, battling severe complications from the injury, including infection, acute respiratory failure after complications from surgery, and multiple surgeries. The reality is now setting in that he may never be able to teach or train again, and this has left his family and his community reeling.

Jason's wife, Susan, and their son Jase are by his side, working tirelessly with doctors to ensure he receives the care he needs. They are navigating a difficult journey, not just emotionally, but also financially. As Jason focuses on his recovery, the mounting medical bills and the uncertainty of the future weigh heavily on them.

As someone who has had the privilege of knowing Jason and Susan personally, and seeing firsthand the immense dedication they have put into their martial arts academy, Sampson Jiu-Jitsu, in Southlake, TX, I am asking for your support. In light of these unforeseen challenges, we are raising funds to help ease the financial burden on the Sampson family and their academy.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. The goal is to ensure that Jason and his family can focus on healing without the added stress of worrying about medical bills or the survival of their beloved martial arts academy. Let’s come together as a community to support a man who has given so much to others, and show them that they are not alone during this incredibly difficult time.

If you would like to contribute, please consider donating. Your support means the world to us, and to Jason and his family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity.

With gratitude,

Carlos & Lindsay Machado
