From the reviews
The best of Houston. Very nice people and the professors are great. Everybody is open to share with you their knowledge. The place is super clean. They are the best. Prices are around $200 and that Includes Brazilian Jujitsu, kickboxing etc. They also have a class for kids.
I have been training Jiujitsu at Elite MMA for over a year now and I have nothing but great stuff to say about these guys. Training here has not only been beneficial for me physically, but also mentally. The calm felt after a good rolling session in this gym cannot be achieved in any other way.
My 6 yr old son has been doing jiu jitsu with Elite MMA for over half of his life. He loves the coaches and loves going to train. For me and my husband, the most important things are what he learns beyond the physical. The discipline, respect, maturity, confidence, self-control, and perseverance are what matters to us.
This is a training facility that I have toured and actually loved for its atmosphere and the faculty was extremely persuasive and motivating in all factors during the training. Examples were shown and during the training you as an individual were able to try some of them examples with other individuals in the group.
New to BJJ? Start at Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Westchase
Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Westchase comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Westchase
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
