At Double Five, we’re all about humility. Both our instructors and students leave their egos at the door, creating a welcoming learning environment.
As students learn new skills, master moves that once scared them, and make new friends, their confidence will soar.
The martial arts teach students the importance of respecting their instructors, their families, their friends, and themselves.
Students at Double Five will not only grow in their physical fitness, but in their self-esteem, problem-solving skills, and mindfulness.
Double Five Mid-Cities was founded by Westin Vance and the Collins Brothers—Dylan and Tanner Collins—with a clear mission: to create a gym where athletes of all ages and backgrounds could train with intensity, purpose, and mutual respect. What began in Bedford, Texas, as a small but passionate training space has evolved into the premier martial arts academy in the area.
Led by IBJJF top-10 black belt competitor Westin Vance and the Collins Brothers—decorated brown belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and high-level wrestling standouts with deep roots in competitive grappling and coaching—Double Five is built on a foundation of technical excellence, grit, and community. The team later expanded to include UFC veteran Victor Altamirano, bringing world-class MMA experience into the fold, and Tanner’s wife, Ashley Collins—a high-level female black belt who leads our women’s BJJ program with expertise, leadership, and a passion for empowering others.
Together, we’ve cultivated a multidisciplinary environment offering elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, competitive wrestling, dynamic boxing, and authentic Muay Thai. Our programs include private training, youth development, and specialized seminars in self-defense and first-responder tactics.
From the start, we’ve held to our core values: train hard, train smart, and uplift the room with positive energy. Through expert coaching, a tight-knit culture, and a commitment to growth, Double Five Mid-Cities has become the go-to gym for those who want to get stronger, sharper, and more confident—on the mat and in life.
