Our History

Wolfpack MMA has been a part of the Texas martial arts community since our Rockwall location opened in 2013. From there, we opened a second location in Forney in 2017, with Wylie Wolfpack MMA following in 2022. Our gyms have been built and designed throughout the years by a strong group of leaders in instructors Quaint Kempf, Mitchell Norton, and Jerry Gonzalez. With 55+ years of training experience between the three of them – supported by plenty of experience from our other instructors – they have built a culture that is all about the people. They’ve continued to make upgrades in each facility, including adding mat space, updating curriculums, and finding the new styles in all martial arts. The foundation they’ve built has been designed to help each member of the Wolfpack pack to make the most of their martial arts training. That mission will never end, or only continue to grow in Rockwall, Forney, and Wylie!

Quaint Kempf

Quaint Kempf is the owner/operator, and head MMA coach at Wolfpack MMA. Quaint’s fighting style utilizes a combination of martial arts including Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, and Kick Boxing. Growing up an athlete, Quaint always admired Martial Arts. After going semi-pro in football, he decided to take his admiration to the next level. As Quaint developed his MMA skills he made his way into amateur fighting before eventually going pro with Legacy and Bellator MMA.

“I take great pride in saying Wolfpack MMA is the #1 mixed martial arts school in Rockwall. We have top of the line, brand new equipment & facilities and our training programs are second to none. As a professional fighter, I have seen first hand what it takes to become successful in this sport.

Mitch Norton
Co Owner of Wolfpack MMA Wylie
Coach Mitch Norton began his martial arts journey in 2008while attending Oklahoma State University, where he trained in mixed martial arts and developed a passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. After graduating with a degree in Management Information Systems, he moved to Houston, Texas in 2009
and continued his training as he started his corporate career.

Over the years, Coach Mitch trained extensively across all major martial arts disciplines, including Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He competed actively from white belt through purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, gaining valuable competition experience that continues to shape his coaching style today.

In 2013, Coach Mitch transitioned into full-time coaching and gym operations, dedicating the next 8.5 years to helping thousands of students begin and continue their martial arts journeys. During this time, he refined his teaching methods, developed structured training programs, and built a reputation for creating a welcoming, disciplined, and results-driven training environment.

Coach Mitch earned his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt in September 2019, a milestone that reflects years of dedication, technical development, and commitment to the martial arts community.

In 2021, he stepped away from full-time instruction to return to corporate work, while continuing to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a way to stay in shape, manage stress, and stay connected to the martial arts lifestyle.
In 2023, Coach Mitch and his family relocated to the DFW area, where he re-engaged with the local martial arts community. In 2024, he joined the Wolfpack MMA team, and in April 2025, he became the Head Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Coach in Wylie.

Today, Coach Mitch is passionate about teaching both kids and adults, building confidence, discipline, and resilience through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is committed to developing the next generation of martial artists while fostering a positive, family-friendly training environment for students of all skill levels.
