From the reviews

I moved to Houston pretty recently from another State and I went around trying a list of gyms. The reason I ended up at TX 3rd Coast MMA is because they care. Many of the other gyms just wanted my money and didn't care about us personally.

★★★★★ — Kimmie, Oct 2016

I have been training at TX 3rd Coast MMA for a little over 5 years now and I can not recommend this place enough. The instructors here are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and it reflects on the quality of class they teach and how they treat their students.

Tx 3rd Coast MMA is the best of the best! I cannot express how amazing Professor Joe and Professor Jason are, along with the coaches. My daughters have gained a great deal of experience training here! The kids absolutely adore them!

My daughter has been attending this gym for over a year now and we are so happy with the amazing professors, the wonderful coaches, the excellent staff, and the other members that also attend. The gym is an open area and the staff keeps this place very clean.

Your first BJJ class at TX 3RD COAST MMA

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
