Jose and all the team are wonderful coaches, we had the pleasure to have our children working out at this location and sometimes at Westheimer, they are great at the sport and fantastic humans. They handle every situation with the children in such a professional manner. We totally recommend MMA specially this location for your children and yourself, no matter the age, they will make you welcome every day!

I joined Elite MMA on my birthday and I have no doubts it was one of the best decisions I made this year. Even though i dont go nearly as often as I would like to because my busy schedule, I have made progress. Physically I feel much stronger and have increased stamina. I feel like my will to succeed and discipline have grown. I have made some great friends along the way and I am on my way to learn an art form that i can pursue and grow with for the rest of my life. Great location, facilities, many different types of classes and amazing coaches that are always there to support you. I know that If I am ever having a bad day or need a pick me up, I can go to Elite and will be in the company of friends and walk out with positive energy.

Elite MMA has an amazing community and great staff in all their locations. They also provide excellent training and a safe training environment. I will recommend this place to anyone who is seeking a fun and effective training place.

I have been training at Elite MMA for close to 3 years now. I started with zero martial arts training and since my first day on the mat everyone has been extremely helpful and friendly. The coaches here are very knowledgeable and are committed to helping students of all skill levels.

Training here has been a very fun and rewarding experience. The jiu jitsu and kickboxing classes helped me lose over 40 pounds in 4-5 months without having to change my diet. If you are someone who is looking to combine real self defense, a high intensity workout, and recreation all in one this is the place for you.

I had always wanted to train martial arts and decided to come in for a free session to give this place a try. I really liked the environment and signed up immediately. It was a great decision and I just renewed for my second year! The coaches are excellent and give you a lot of feed back and personal attention to help you improve. Great way to meet people, stay in shape and really improve your skills!

I joined Elite MMA to have a fun, physical activity to do with my 14 year old son. I am 44 years old and had never done martial arts. Elite MMA and the coaches Hai, Jose, and Dave, have made it a great experience. The facilities are always clean, the classes are very professionally run, they follow a clear training syllabus and start and stop on time. I also love the fact that you can work out at other Elite locations so it gives me more options in my dynamic schedule. If someone is looking to get fit, learn a new skill, and join a community, then I highly recommend Elite MMA.

I am hands down an obsessed one full stop.!! I am addicted to my training with Elite MMA, spending time among amazing and highly motivated guys as well as being instructed by super professionals who really care of what they are doing! Like many of us we start doing lets say kickboxing but then you realize that you want to push yourself further and you are ending up on the mat wearing BJJ Gi and I love it!

Yet I am Muay Thai fun and try to absorb every single move our Instructors teach us. I am now looking for kickboxing classes if I am on business trip overseas or even during vacation time! I told you I am addicted!;) that is my lifestyle now, after 9 hrs in the office I rush to the class and in a good day can perform at 3 sessions straight! I feel so complete after!

My goal is to challenge myself every single training session and discover new me and that is fun, believe me!

Keep a great work Elite MMA!

I joined Elite MMA (Richmond location) about a month ago and have tried their Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes. Their instructors Hai, Jose and Joshua are awesome! They go the extra mile to teach you the right technique and work with you based on your level. Elite has a warm, friendly and fun environment. I have already seen benefits in my first month with increased physical and mental strength and my confidence levels have improved overall! I highly recommend Elite if you are looking to take your life goals to the next level.

One of the highlights of my day is to be able to come and train with Elite. I originally started with the kickboxing class, but have since then transitioned to the BJJ classes as well. I was so happy with the transition with how welcoming everyone is. Not only are the instructors happy to help out, but all the practitioners are warm and welcoming as well. The gym culture is one of the perks of Elite -- everyone's willing to work together and help each other out to improve as a collective whole. Classes are fun and a blast. You learn at your own pace, working with others to reinforce your needs while helping others. I highly recommend Elite to everyone, adults and children alike.

Coming to Elite MMA is my favorite part of my day!! I love the methodology, the coaching, the people and my progress over the last two months of being here. Not signing up and being a part of this awesome community will be your only regret.

I've been with Elite since 2013. Elite has created a very positive environment that focuses a lot on respect, professionalism, and community. I was originally concerned to get into martial arts again as an older student; however, It was great to see so many individuals of various age groups and ability. Elite made it so easy to fit in, become part of the team, and stay focused on my training. I mainly train BJJ but the cardio kickboxing class has also helped to build strength and endurance. It is amazing to see the progress over the years and I'm very glad to have stuck with this. My goal is to eventually get my black belt and keep training for life. Elite has been such a big part of my success because they've created this atmosphere which encourages me to want to continue and keep pushing myself to grow.

For me, a great training environment and making gains in my physical fitness has been a gratifying experience. My initial impression of Elite MMA was of the professionalism and thought put into the business process and program organization. The facilities and equipment are well maintained, clean and suited for class sizes. After 6 months my initial impressions remain intact. I greatly appreciate Elite MMA's concern for student learning and good technique. They have also managed to create a structure that supports continued progress and engagement. The owners are clearly passionate about their business and the community it fosters. I highly recommend anyone giving their program a try.

I've been training at Elite MMA a bit over two years now. I started at their main location on Westheimer and Beltway 8, but since they have opened up their new location in Greenway I have become a huge fan of it. The facility is spacious and comfortable. However, don't let this get you carried away from the workouts that are tough. Very Tough.

Signing up for Elite is well-worth your money. I would say this is one of the best investments that your mind and body can get.

If you want to get fit, learn the right techniques and have fun, this is the right place. The atmosphere is great, everyone is supportive and having fun. The trainers are outstanding and push you to get better. They have been building up this place over the last months and I am impressed how quickly they turned an empty space into a professional training center.

I joined Elite MMA - Greenway after approximately 1.5 years of working with another martial arts group. The transition was smooth; the administrative group and coaches have been forthcoming to assist, and have identified points of improvement in my technique. I have already started to work on those points, and can already feel the difference in my striking ability (kick boxing). I wish I had more time to spend on site to learn!

Elite MMA is one of the best martial arts schools I've ever attended, especially for women! The coaches are relentlessly positive, but still manage to push their students without veering into territory that's too aggressive: I have never had so much fun getting my butt kicked, in my life.

I read once that people don't set boundaries they don't feel capable of enforcing; I absolutely think that's true, and, even more than the fantastic workout, the confidence you gain at Elite from knowing you can handle yourself in the worst possible situations--even if you never end up going there--is invaluable. I can say without hesitation that I think everyone would benefit from the classes here, regardless of their experience level!

I have been training with Elite for about 6 months and my only regret is that I should have joined sooner. If you are looking to learn martial arts, self defense, or even just something to supplement your workout routine then look no further.

Elite has flexible class schedules. They offer many classes at multiple locations every day of the week so it works perfectly for my travel and work schedule. I find this to be an awesome opportunity to meet and train with students from other locations.

The instructors are very knowledgeable and passionate about martial arts not to mention they bring a fairly decent sense of humor to class. The students bring a fun, positive, and ego-free learning environment. We are always encouraging each other to get better and that's what keeps me going back every week.

I have trained all over the country and this is THE BEST school hands down. The community of people that train here are amazing and have become a part of my extended family. The quality of instructors and class structure is unbeatable. The atmosphere makes coming a necessity, and it's truly the best part of my day. I always look forward to it. I'm the healthiest and happiest I've even been in my life and it's all thanks to this school, I'll be forever grateful. Thank you Hai and Eric!

I have consistently been impressed with this place. Life being what it is, I started here a while ago (late 2004-ish) and between now and then, have had a fair amount of exposure to other gyms in town as well. At times my work, time, location, etc, would have me training in other places for extended periods of time. Like everything else in life, you have to take the average of your many experiences to really get an accurate idea of how "good" or "bad" a gym is. The atmosphere has been positive for the overwhelming majority of my time here, and the instructors have formed good personal friendships with many of the students which is a sign of a good school in my opinion. They are open to questions and participation from all levels on the mat and they have made it a mission of the school to provide a positive environment for members. Over the course of my years here, they have developed enough talent and experience both in the stable of instructors and the student body overall to provide you with any level of challenge you wish to pursue. Throughout, we are an encouraging group (at least I think so) and we would love for you to come by and hang out, meet the other students and instructors, and/or try out a class or three.

I've been a part of the elite MMA family since 2011. There's no where else I'd rather be. World class instruction. Top notch facilities. The best hours and schedule of any MMA gym. And last but not least our family community where everyone is helpful and humble and wants to help the person next to them. The perfect mix of tough and understanding makes you keep coming back! I love my team!

I love this place! I started at EMMA-Greenway 6 months ago when I moved to Houston .I see its transformation since they move to the new location and they did a great job. Due my crazy work schedule I decided to take personal kick-boxing clases twice a week and it was the best decision ever. Jose (my personal coach) takes care of me and looks after my progress every week. If I have to be out for a long period we reschedule to keep the training up to date. He knows how to push me to new limits and at the end of each class I can only say: another amazing workout with a cool trainer! Also the other staff/trainers are always ready to make you feel like at home. Can't wait for the next lesson.

Elite MMA is absolutely amazing and has completely changed my life. I wanted to begin my weight loss journey and decided to enroll in cardio kickboxing classes at Elite. I began training in February 2017. My initial goal was to lose 50lbs by the end of 2017. I was at the half way mark of 25lbs down after only 3 months there. The coaches and fellow classmates have always been so very encouraging to me. There is no feeling of judgment or exclusion of any sort whenever I enter the class. Elite offers other classes such as Brazilian Jui Jitsu and kickboxing fundamentals. I plan to begin attending them as well. I've learned so much about myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. I can feel the changes in my body and look forward to going to class. I plan my day around class so that I will be able to attend and be on time. One of the most encouraging and amazing things about Elite is the level of accountability and support provided. Each student is asked to write out their goals and what they would like to achieve from training in the classes. The coaches, Mitch and Jose, also will reach out to the students by phone for reminders about class and to continue to encourage us to reach our goals. It is simply an amazing community to be apart of, while also continuing the journey to a healthier life. I have been recommending Elite MMA to family and friends since my first month there. I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a different, challenging, fun, and great workout to join Elite MMA!! You will not regret it!!

My husband and I joined Elite MMA one year ago, and we are absolutely hooked! Joining an MMA gym was intimidating at first (to say the least!), but the staff has been so incredibly welcoming. Our coaches, Mitch and Jose, have been awesome and so supportive. I can't speak highly enough about Elite's gym culture; you're treated like family, and everyone is a student. As a woman, I need to add that Eric and Hai have created such an egalitarian environment at the gym. If any of you ladies have reservations about joining, rest assured; I've felt nothing but respect and positivity while training.

There are multiple locations and classes to choose from: Kardio Kickboxing (a great workout!), Fight Fit, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, Self-Defense, and Boxing, among others. My husband and I previously worked out 4-5x a week. We lifted weights, did spin classes, played tennis and basketball, and trained for 5k's/a half marathon. However, training at Elite has been our toughest workout thus far. Additionally, training together as a couple and learning self-defense and martial arts skills have been added motivations to showing up at class.

There's no better stress relief than taking a long day at work out on a bag. Joining Elite was one of the best decisions we've made!

October 19, 2017 11:42

My wife and I joined Elite about a year ago to learn basic self defense and get a workout. We were both a little hesitant and nervous about diving head first into BJJ and kickboxing training. But the incredible staff, coaches and teammates put our nerves at ease the very first time we showed up. I can't speak enough about the culture and environment this gym. It really feels like family and everyone is so positive and supportive. Mitch and Jose are really amazing human beings, and it's been an honor to train under them.

If you're thinking about joining an MMA gym, you have to give Elite MMA a shot. It's one of the best decisions we've ever made!

October 19, 2017 11:42

I've been at Elite MMA for over a year and it is the ONLY gym membership I've actually looked forward to and used on a consistent basis without boredom. There's no ego here and everyone is extremely welcoming and willing to help you out. Mitch and Jose are super amazing in encouraging you and checking in to make sure you're getting everything out of class that you want. Sometimes their "Hey are you making it to class today?" text is all the motivation you need to get off your butt and go. Feel like you want more ab or squat work? Just talk to them and they'll incorporate it in or give you tips for training at home.

From the Kickboxing to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I would recommend anyone interested in feeling healthier or learning self defense to try this place out. The kickboxing is high cardio intense and the 45mins go by before you realize. If you want more of a workout than that, just stay after for more classes. They offer multiple level BJJ classes and you're learning new skills every day. Nothing beats Houston stress relief like punching a bag or kicking Thai pads.

October 19, 2017 11:42

I love it here! I came in out of shape not having worked out in over 3 years and with very little confidence in myself. The coaches really care about you and look after your progress. It's been about 3 months and I must say I feel I'm in the best shape I've been since I was in highschool. The great thing is that i know this is just the beginning and it is only going to get better. All of my teammates are very awesome and helpful. Always looking forward for the next class.
