Great gym! Professor Joe and Jason are excellent and patient instructors. They effectively coach their students imparting their technical knowledge both patiently and safely. TX 3rd Coast MMA is not only an amazing place for someone looking to learn martial arts, it is a place where you will build camaraderie with your teammates.

The professors are professional and knowledgeable. My son has a great time here!

We all read stories and watch videos about finding your purpose, your calling, your journey etc trying to find a life we actually want to live. Its an unfortunate fact that not many are able to reach that point where they dont need a holiday because they just love what they do. If you want to see the lucky people who found their purpose, which is to bring change in other peoples lives through martial arts then you need to come see this place and meet with the instructors.

A great place to learn and develop your skills. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. One of the best decisions of my life was to join this gym.

Great place to train. Instructors are amazing at what they do and the members are like family. Everyone is treated well and are always looking to help one another.

Excellent gym to learn self-defense, become a competitive athlete or just get in shape. I really appreciate the ability to mix classes/styles from time to time so my training does not stagnate and remains well-rounded. Train at TX 3rd Coast MMA and improve yourself.

Great place to learn martial arts especially if you’re a beginner . They don’t treat you less than because you are new, rather they encourage to not be afraid to jump right in with the group and learn as much as you can while being taught with great attention to detail . Just come ready to learn and most importantly put in the work . You only get out what you put into it .

It’s been a journey as Theo gym has helped me work on all healthy aspects of life this gym has it all from coach’s to family atmosphere.

Amazing place with amazing people!!! Came here from Houston looking to do something healthy after quarantine and these guys definitely made the wait worth while. Boxing Class was informative and also a great working. IT WAS REAL BOXING!!!! Not that bull they teach at Title Boxing or 9 Round where you just hit a bag for an hour and the instructors look for cardio bunnies to date (big deal to me since I’m a woman). Coach Joe and the other instructors have an amazing amount of experience both in professional and amateur levels. There’s also a really popular Kickboxing Class that I’m gonna try in a few weeks. Great place! Also, they have a cute dog that is basically the team mascot and make the place very welcoming as if it wasn’t already. Family run, fun, and fitness!

Great Coaches, team mates and facilities. Glad to have been a part of the team.

Great Gym! Wish i had started training Jiu Jitsu before i hit my 40s but couldnt be happier to be at TX 3rd Coast. Professor Joe and Jason are salt of the earth people and great instructors. They have also developed a culture where the other students care as much about your progess as their own. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help you improve. Its only been 5 months but i am obssessed.

Ive been at TX 3rd Coast MMAthe past three months. The professors and coaches here are excellent at what they do. I started with the Womens only group which made me feel very comfortable getting familiar with the general class flow and other women in the classes. When I decided to join the coed BJJ classes I was a little hesitant because of my perception of others in MMA through the UFC was a bunch of tough and mean guys. However Prof. Joe, Jason, Eric, Don, and Sarah as well as visiting professors always make a point to ensure I have a safe training partner for my size and skill level. When there isnt an appropriate partner, they will train with me instead. I look forward to my children starting when theyre old enough. I cant recommend enough for any female considering training BJJ. If you arent, you should and these people will make you feel at home.

My home away from home! Been here for a month now and I’m loving every minute of it! I started training Kickboxing just after quarantine to get off the “Quarantine 15” and these guys made it easy. They not only teach good but genuinely love what they do which is not something I’ve experienced in my fitness pursuit. I felt like other places were being fake with enthusiasm or they were lacking in experience until I came here. These guys have the pedigree and mindset to fit anyone wanting to better themselves. Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, and the Bruce Lee Art (Jeet Kune Do I think is the name) are just some of the things you’ll encounter in the classes. Everyone is extremely helpful from the staff to the students and they just want to have fun with intense workouts. Great place for anyone and all ages.

It only took one visit and I was hooked! Tx 3rd coast MMA is a family oriented community of improving people mentally and physically. I came in without any experience at all and I remember how welcoming everyone was! The instructors are absolutely amazing and continue to challenge me to become my very best. I’m grateful to have found this gym and the people in it. Come check us out!!

Such an amazing gym. The professors are both knowledgeable and really take the time to help the students learn the material. Both women and men learn and train together in a safe environment l. Loved it so much, I enrolled my daughter as well!

If you want to learn Brazilian jujitsu or MMA at the excellent and amazingly friendly Academy look no further. Atmosphere of this school is incredibly friendly and supportive. You will feel real closeness with the group.Both instructors Joe and Jason Soliz are doing fantastic job teaching and supporting all students every step of the way. CheckTX 3rd Coast MMA out. I guarantee you will be happy you did. Dont wait, just do it. It could be the best thing you have done in a very long time.TX 3rd Coast MMA all the way!

This place is the real deal ... whether you’re a soccer mom looking for a good work out or wanting to learn self defense... a professional fighter or a hobbyist. You will be welcomed and taken good care of here .. no gimmicks professor Joe Solis and his son coach Jason are passionate about the art they teach and never take a day off ... classes are structured well thought out and detailed to make you successful, disciplined, respectful.. and if you’re consistent you will become dangerous to anyone who poses a threat to you and or your family... you will be learning next to people of all walks of life from business professionals as well as professional fighters.. everyone is treated w the same respect from white belt to black ... I’ve trained other gyms and they seem to just go through the motions... not here we are a team and we lift each other up and make each other better... we are family . I owe a lot to Mrs Pat, Professor Joe and Coach Jason the lessons I’ve learned here are priceless.

Boxing, Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Karate, Judo, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, these guys have it all and have don’t it all!!! Most experienced place I’ve found in Houston with a background that proves it. Joe has had over 40 years in multiple martial arts and his son is still actively competing pro in many of them! They can teach even just as good as they actually are!!!! Very few people can say that in the world when it comes to martial arts or combat sports. I’ve been with these guys for only 2 years, but I’ve heard of them for decades throughout Texas having been a lifelong martial arts enthusiast starting in Arlington. Their reputation for being standup people goes hand in hand with their skills and you couldn’t choose better instructors for your kids, family, or yourself. They love what they do and it shows every day they get to share it with you. Come see them and you’ll see what all the fuss is about 👌.

Great place! Amazing classes! Genuinely good and honest people! Everyone I met here have been very nice to since I arrived and extremely helpful. Every class I’ve tried from Boxing, Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Karate, Judo, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was a great workout and extremely fun for not just me but everyone in the room. I was surprised since the other places I visited for trial classes were taught by guys with mean looks on their faces and students who I felt didn’t want me there. I felt no one wanted me to learn anything or like it was a hassle for them to have me in the class. Almost gave up trying until I talked to Prof. Joe Soliz on the phone and his upbeat personality right away caught me off guard and had me interested. Then tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wow! I like working out and consider myself in decent shape after being a power lifter for several years, but I was sore in places I didn’t know could get sore. There’s so much involved in the workout that I didn’t expect and everyone is so willing and wanting to help you learn it’s motivating. Definitely worth the effort to make your way out to try a few classes for yourself. Been here myself for almost a month and I love every minute. My only regret is not starting sooner.

I came to train here after training with another group for many years. I was really concerned about trying out a new gym, but when I walked in to my first jujitsu class I was shocked to see sooooo many women training at all levels. It is such a comfortable learning environment. I have to say this is truly a family gym. I see couples and family training together all the time of all ages. My husband and I couldn’t be happier in the quality of training and the family like atmosphere of the gym, and we look forward to raising our future children here to.

Clean, safe, family-friendly space for training.

This is a fantastic place for MMA instruction. The facility can be described as clean, well-lit and well-kept. The community is inviting with a strong, healthy emphasis on mutual respect. As far as instruction, classes are led by adept multidisciplinary professionals at a lively but unrushed pace, ensuring that one stays engaged but far from lost. Coach Jason inspires discipline; Coach Joe has sagely teaching intuition. Strong reccomend.

Ive done martial arts off and on for years, and this style has been by far the most practical and fun.The instructors Professors Joe and Jason as well as their assistants really care about teaching, and work hard to give their students the best training possible.There are multiple classes throughout the day to help cater to different work schedules, and the gym is always clean and well maintained.The training is tough and well thought out so you get the most out of each class. There are also free weights and heavy bags to use at your convenience.The gym is located in nice area of town with well lite parking, so you and your valuables will be safe coming to, or leaving the late classes.The dedication of the instructors is second to none. These people love what they do and they prove it everyday.This gym is not their job. Its their lives.

I highly recommend this gym to all ages. Weather you are just looking for a good workout, or to train any of the many martial arts they offer. This gym is very welcoming and good for all levels. Ive been to a few other gyms in Houston and the surrounding areas, and hands down this is by far the best MMA gym Ive been to. They offer a variety of classes to choose from and all the instructors are great at what they do. The staff here is always looking to help you in whatever you may be trying to improve on, and I couldnt ask for a better gym to be apart of.

I highly recommend this gym. The instructor, Joe Soliz, is excellent. He knows his stuff and he teaches it well. There are no pretenses, no arrogance; just skill and experience. Everyone there is always welcoming and willing to work with you, no matter the skill level. I visited various MMA gyms in the Southwest Houston area before signing up with this one, and the atmosphere is night and day between this gym and the others. Very personalized, encouraging, and to-the-point training. Try them out, you wont be disappointed.

I moved from another state, and visited a lot of other martial arts studios before finding 3rd Coast. Having 15 years of martial arts experience, I am very picky about what I am looking for in an MMA gym. They are very welcoming, but they take what they do seriously. Its great to see people of all experience levels in one class, working together and helping one another become better. The instructors are all highly skilled and clearly love what they do. If you are looking for a quality gym, this is the place to go to!

TX 3rd Coast MMA is one of the best school to train in Houston area. The facility is clean, mats are huge and students makes you feel welcome but what makes this school different is the leadership of Professor Joe Soliz. He is professional, passionate about his students development and is ALWAYS looking to help the community and people around him. The culture of this place is amazing and not enough positive things can be said about their BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program), Kickboxing, Boxing, and Kids Martial Arts Programs! As a bonus you will be taught by coaches with professional competition experience in every field which is unique to these guys in the Sugar Land area specifically. Give it a try and see with your own eyes what makes these guys so special!

TX 3rd Coast MMA is a great facility with world class instruction and staff. They offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Cardio kickboxing, Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kids Mixed Martial Arts, Private lessons, and special workshops/seminars. I have been coming over the past four years and I couldnt ask for better training partners, instruction or options to train. TX 3rd Coast MMA meets everyones needs from the professionals, competitors, fitness, recreational martial artists, and families. Give any of the beginner courses a try and see for yourself the fun and great workout you’ll get from these guys!

I highly recommend TX 3rd coast MMA! Everyone is friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in to the first class you take. I walked in and was interested to learn more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seeing how popular it’s become with celebrities and for weight loss, but ended up finding out so much more. Not only was it a workout to rival any boot camp, CrossFit workout, or personal training session, but Professor Joe, Coach Jason, and Coach Eric all help you learn practical self-defense very quickly. Everyone, including the students when you sit to talk with them are all very knowledgeable and inviting for anyone wanting to learn. What really caught my attention was the amount of women who train here as well as the many mother daughter or family combinations. It’s cool to watch the little girls and younger daughters training on the floor then watch as their mothers and sisters go from their work and business attire to uniforms and boxing gloves. The ladies are all very sweet and helpful as well, which walking into any MMA gym from my experience as a woman has been a little scary. This place felt right at home and I’ll be signing up this week!

I have been a part of the TX 3rd Coast MMA team for over 5 years. I’ve traveled to many different MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ gyms around Texas, but this is best by far! Prof. Joe Soliz & Jason Soliz have created an amazing training culture that creates an environment to learn, train hard, and build great friendships. Cant recommend this place enough! Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA these guys have everything you’re looking.

I have been training for several years and was moved to Houston for work. I tried several gyms but 3rd Coast stood out as the absolute best. Awesome team of instructors for adults and kids. If you are training to compete, for fitness or just want to learn a new skill-set you will not find better than Joe and Jason at 3rd Coast!!!

If you’re looking for a place to learn BJJ from some great instructors, train here. It’s a great environment, with great people and instructors alike. No judgements, everyone is there to learn and get away from the daily struggle of life through a martial art that can help you get in better shape, and learn to defend yourself as well.10/10 would recommend to others.

Best instruction and training in the game! I came to this place after first seeing an Invicta FC Women’s MMA event and thought to myself “this is amazing! I have to do this!” So I started looking at places through out the city. I was almost about to give up after a few ill fated ventures into a gym that I got concussed in their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Class on the first night by a big guy who picked me up and slammed me on my head! So I figured maybe BJJ wasn’t for me and tried out another schools Kickboxing & Muay Thai program. They left me walking with giant bruises on my legs as well just throwing me to the wolves to get beat up on my first night! I’m a 125 lbs. woman who is not extremely athletic, but seeing and hearing some of these professional female fighters backgrounds I believed I could do this, but by the end of my first 2 weeks my enthusiasm and want to do any of it was diminishing fast! Until I found the ladies group and head coach Joe Soliz at TX3CMMA! Not only was it welcoming and a huge amount of instruction, the most I’ve ever encountered after visiting many Houston MMA Schools, but the way they train was vastly different. It’s hard to explain without being on the floor to be apart of it, but these guys put everything they have into each student as well as developing an atmosphere that makes you wanna train! They don’t have this weird meathead I’m a badass feeling I got walking into these other places and for those reasons and many more I choose these guys over anyone in the city, state, and country. They’re one of a kind! ..#houstontx #texaslove #sugarland #sugarlandtx #austin #austintx #dallas #dallastx #sanantonio #sanantoniotx #texas #houston #boxing #karate #ufc #jiujitsu

Sitting here with my husband talking about how good these guys are and how much we enjoy training with them! It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made is to start training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Prof. Joe & Coach Jason Soliz. Their teaching is really on another level as well as their attention to their students. These guys are all about the martial arts lifestyle 24/7. Regardless of what you choose (MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing, BJJ, Kids Programs) you’re find what you’re looking for here and much more.

After years of different physical athletic pursuits (triathlon, power lifting, biathlons, cycling, etc.) I finally decided to give martial arts a try. It is always a bit intimidating to come into an activity as a complete novice and my only knowledge or experience was seeing stuff on TV. The team at TX 3rd Coast MMA, and the other students, have been completely awesome with me! It is wonderfully humbling and interesting to be taught by skilled BJJ practitioners who are on the floor every night. They clearly love what they do!The team is deeply experienced, and seems to go out of their way to support and guide their students, especially with Head Coach Joe Soliz putting in extra work with newbies like me. Within my first hour I was hooked, I still had a two week trial period 😂. If youre thinking about jumping into BJJ, give this place a shot and come have some fun with us! They also have boxing classes, which are super popular! The kickboxing class is packed every night! Coach Joe also teaches Jeet Kune Do and from what I know, is the only qualified instructor in the Houston area! Check’em out!

This is my home away from home. Concepts that apply to life outside of the gym. Fitness that is life changing and confidence that helps you face the world each day with your head held high. *4 year update* both of my sons have started training here and I have watched them grow so much. From competing and dealing with how to lose to learning how to coach and teach lower ranks. Its great to see them develop relationships with Joe and Jason like I have.

I’m typically not the one for lengthy posts, but I figured I needed to recognize just how special this gym is.After a little morning training with Coach Jason Soliz we sat on the mats and talked for a bit. About various things. Jiu jitsu, gym culture, life, etc. one of the things that I stated that stood out to me about this gym was exactly how family oriented it is. I’ve trained at other places, as I’m sure plenty of you have as well, but the culture and the attitudes at other jiu jitsu gyms, or mma gyms or whatever kind of combat related gym, just isn’t the same as what we have going on here.Everyone has various trials and tribulations they go through in life. Everyone has hardships. But what gets us through said hardships is jiu jitsu and friends/family. If I’m having a rough time in life, the last thing I wanna do is feel like a POS walking in to a gym to train jiu jitsu. I want to feel welcomed. From day 1 that’s exactly how I’ve felt: welcomed.The training partners here are something else. From everyone I’ve trained with, I trust each of you, I’m comfortable with each of you, and everyone is so easy to talk to on and off the mat that it’s just a good feeling. I know whoever Anyone rolls with everyone is going to take care of everyone. It’s not a dominance thing. It’s not a rank thing. Everyone respects the well being of everyone, and to me that’s amazing.I’m getting a little long winded here, but I wanted to thank everyone for being the people that they are, and the training partners that they are. I’m lucky to be apart of a gym with such great people in it. Have a great weekend everyone. Osss!

I made a New Years Resolution involving my physical health, mental health, and to exercise more. I would definitely say that after viewing these guys online through Facebook & Instagram, TX 3rd Coast MMA was the first thought that popped into my head and that I was most excited to try. Resolutions generally dont stick and I didn’t wanna be one of those people who sign up for a regular gym membership, but fall o after a few weeks. Most people walk away from their resolutions within the first few weeks and I was looking for a way to not be a statistic. So I came to a place where people actually enjoy the grind and the effort and the hard work. They offer you support and encouragement from the minute you walk in the door! Truly people who are looking out for one another’s well being walking into the lifestyle and the new year. They offer Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do/Kali (think Jason Bourne type stuff), Boxing, Personalized Strength & Conditioning, and Personalized Dietician Health. They also run Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kids Mixed Martial Arts Classes which are pretty cool to watch! Super nice people, know their material, and a very down to earth group in the people who train. They are located at Highway 59 and Dairy Ashford in Sugar Land, and are super inviting of any newbies to their world. Definitely gonna be fun starting a new health journey! Team TX 3RD COAST MMA 2020!..#texas #houston #texaslove #sugarland #sugarlandtx #austin #austintx #dallas #dallastx #sanantonio #sanantoniotx #texas #houston #boxing

I have been there and watched the kid classes. Some of the kids can some times be bad. But some of the teachers, would misinterpret the kids. I saw a kid who looked a little bit sad. Although, all the other days he went there, he looked the same and he was perfectly fine. When Coach Jason asked him if he was okay he continuesly said that he was fine. Still, coach Jason thought that he was bored and sad. He asked him if he wanted to be there. He accidentally said no. I know that it was an accident because he was scared. Also I saw another kid, during the warm-ups, he said that his toe hurt. Then near the end of the class, he was able to participate in an activity. Then Coach Jason thought that he was trying to sympathetic and trying to not do the rolls. That is just uncalled for because, his toe could have stopped hurting during class. If the coaches misinterpret people do much, I won’t recommend to go.

Absolutely a wonderful place to train. Great coaches and teammates that constantly drive each other to improve. 3rd Coast is an ego free environment that fosters learning. We have instructors that train with us everyday.

Great place! Instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable as well being very inviting, which is not something I’ve experienced at MMA schools. It’s even harder to feel comfortable being female and wanting to try everything. The female population as well as Coach Joe make this place unique and even more motivating. All the girls compete or train in almost every disciple from boxing, kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do. Really cool place to be at!

The last couple of weeks I’ve been asking myself since I got to TX 3rd Coast MMA why they are so different than other places I’ve been too here in Houston, and California (San Diego). I have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a VERY VERY LONG TIME! and dabbled in Boxing a bit recently at the recommendation of Head Coach Joe Soliz. First off, I’ve never been someone who’s liked punches and kicks nor having them done to me, but somehow the coaches persuaded me to start getting my feet wet and I honestly enjoy it! So what’s the difference between them and other BJJ Styles/Gyms or Teams?Well, here you actually train under the direct supervision of the instructor and not an affiliate, assistant, or someone deemed certified to teach their style/styles. With this team/academy your instructor actively is involved in your day to day training. Not just watching, but trains with you more often than I’ve ever seen head coaches do or heard of at the majority big name schools. They try the most I’ve ever had an instructor do to make sure you retain the info given and personally see to it that you progress in the art and styles they specialize in. They teach an effective Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, not just what’s popular in the sport setting, in a very streamline approach that’s easy for all to understand and perform as well as catering to individual needs to adapt for styles. Add to that the direct supervision and input from your coaches daily and it’s a winning combination. They aren’t a chain, so there’s no focus taken away from the students to just run a business as I’ve seen elsewhere in the city. They are locals, they’re students are all homegrown and reflect the instructors teachings both inside and outside the academy setting. These guys live, eat, and sleep what they do and that is no over exaggeration! They study boxing, kickboxing, MMA, wrestling, judo, Jeet Kune do, karate, you name it and they are always studying it! That, and they study you! How you think and what best ways they can better teach and progress you. I can call any of my coaches any time, day or night, with a question or needing help and they are there! They are coaches in every sense of the word and I’m truly grateful to have found this place.

Great place! Tried out the kickboxing class for the first time since not doing much in a while due to injury and it was a great workout. Came in as a walk in to very knowledgeable and helpful staff who take their job seriously. Still need to try out the other classes on the schedule, but it seems like everyone loves the classes since there is a good attendance in them. The Jiu-Jitsu Class was popular from what I saw on the day I was there. Recommend this place to anyone looking for great vibe, instruction, and a good workout outside of the normal meathead 24 hour fitness or Lifetime. Can’t wait to explore the other classes on the schedule.

This is by far the best, most knowledgeable, and most inviting school I and my family have been too in the Houston area! I tried several of the martial arts schools on the area from Cypress, Sugar Land, Stafford, The Heights, Midtown, Katy, and Fulshear. No one compares in the amount of experience, knowledge, and just all around welcoming atmosphere of every at Third Coast MMA! They provide an actual curriculum that you can see in every class, adult through kids. They actually teach and are concerned in the well being and development of each person as well as being super proud of all their students which is evident from the moment you walk in and see the walls lined with photos of the students. They are good at all of the curriculums they teach from their Kickboxing Class, Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kids MMA, and Kids Brazilian Joy-Jitsu compared to anyone else I’ve tried (which has been a lot!). The coaches (Coach Jason, Coach Eric, Coach Lance, Coach Joe) are presents every class and actually interact and train with every student on the floor which is not something I’ve experienced at the other schools! Your lucky if those other instructors even are off their phones long enough or give attention from their little clicks to you. Not here! These guys love what they do and my only regret is not being able lost all the amazing things my son and I have encountered here in Houston while training with these guys! Thanks for everything you guys do at TX Third Coast MMA!

The atmosphere and workout are amazing! Would recommend to stop by and give it a try!

A martial artist for most of my life, Ive been training at TX 3rd Coast MMA for about a year now. Professors Joe and Jason Soliz are an excellent balance of quality of physical ability and character. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming and encourages students to achieve their goals.One thing I want to state specifically. Professors Joe and Jason do an excellent job of what I call progressive acceleration of the application of technique. What I mean is, when you learn specific techniques, very often the jump between positional training and actual rolling/sparring can be quite large. This is where students can become discouraged and quit.Not so at 3rd Coast.They have a legitimate white-belt class designed to teach the fundamentals and their application in positional sparring. As the students abilities grow, they are gradually moved forward and the roll is accelerated to the degree that it challenges without overwhelming. I found this to be key in my development in jujitsu and JKD, which are new to me as well as a great way for me to kick off the rust in my my stand up game.I would encourage anyone to train here or enroll their children. Great school. Great staff. Great experience.

Fantastic place! Head Instructor Joe is the best in the Sugar Land area hands down! Been to several places searching for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and found a bunch of places claiming to teach MMA. Really all they do is teach Jiu-Jitsu or a bit of boxing at most. These guys teach Boxing, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and a heck of a lot more in private sessions! They have a well thought out curriculum and you can tell they love what they do and constantly train with the students on the Martial Arts floor. The people and families at the facility are great and everyone really likes being there, especially kids. If you get a chance, stop by and take the free trial they have, which definitely will not disappoint you. Hope this helps!

Not enough praise can be given to the people of TX 3rd Coast MMA. The place has a friendly and family style feel to it’s environment which is unique to any other place I’ve been too. It is without a doubt the best gym I’ve been to in the Houston & Sugar Land area! I signed up myself and my daughter for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & the Kids MMA Classes because she was being picked on at school and since she has started training she has gone from being shy and quiet to confident and outgoing! Watching her make such a great transition from how she used to be to how she is now made me wanna give everything a try and I can honestly say I do not regret it! The team are great with the youth program and speaking as a single parent it is important for me to feel adequate enough to be able to defend myself and my daughter. I think both of us have learned life lessons that can be applied universally in training and life. The staff are extremely dedicated to helping each individual person learn as much as possible! Whether it be Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, JKD, Self Defense you name it and by stepping onto the mats of TX 3rd Coast MMA will be a great experience.

Its my favorite place to be. We come here with all 5 kids, this is a place where everyone is treated like family. Coaches who love what they do and it shows in the dedication and the time they invest in this gym that is like a second home to a lot of us.There is no where else I could possibly train that would be better than this.

This place is amazing! Came in for Kickboxing and ended up trying And loving everything! Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, these guys love what they do and that’s a big deal for me. Been to several places and the vibe just didn’t fit. Felt like I was being pushed off to the side or just not important to the staff because I wasn’t a fighter or competitor. First class with Prof. Joe Soliz and I was hooked! In depth explanation and at a pace you can understand as well as the people being nice! Other places you walk into and everyone looks upset or just angry which is really intimidating for a newbie like myself. Walked into this place and people are laughing, they’re joking, everyone knows everyone, and they all wanna help you. Also helps that this is the only place I’ve been to out of 5 others that had the biggest female student training group and families on the floor that I’ve encountered anywhere in the Houston area. Highly suggest trying these guys out and I’ll be here myself continuing training. They make it fun, safe, and just all around good experience!

Head Instructor Joe Soliz is a fraud and likes to rob clear winners on his scorecard.

Awesome experience!!! One of the most friendly atmospheres I’ve experienced in Houston with some of the most qualified staff in the state of Texas. They have an amazing kids program that actually teaches Mixed Martial Arts in a safe way without the machismo meathead mentality you get from seeing the sport on TV. Adult programs are great especially with the amount of experience provided on the floor in every class! Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Fitness, Personal Training, Karate, these guys have it all under one roof! Definitely worth the time to come check them out and talk to the head instructor Joe Soliz, who will put you on the right path to pursuing your goals whatever they may be. Not to mention they are a family gym run by a father, wife, and son who are very involved with their students to the point of even helping them like family outside of the gym. Really a unique and one of a kind experience here.

This place is awesome. It is local for me here in Sugarland, TX and they have a variety of training courses from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (my favorite) as well as Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, etc. The trainers are very knowledgeable and I like that it is family owned and not a chain gym.

Great teachers, great facility, and a lot of options in terms of what you want to train, I recently left Taekwondo so that I train jiu jitsu here, best decision I have made this year, not only am I learning a completely different and complex martial art, I am having fun, the teachers are patient and helpful but they give you room to progress at your on pace, I have recommended this place to all my friend that enjoy learning martial arts and I definitely recommend it to anyone reading this.

My son Lincoln has been going to TX 3rd Coast MMA for over 2 years now and it has been the absolute best decision we have ever made.We could not be happier with the profession, physically, and mentally, he has made while training here.Keep up the amazing work Professor Joe, Coach Jason and Ms. Pat, so glad we are apart of yas future.

Great place to train. Excellent coaching from Professors Joe and Jason Soliz. It doesnt matter if you are a beginner or seasoned veteran, you will love this place.

I had just started to take an interest in MMA, and it was hard to find a gym that I liked. When I went to Texas 3rd Coast MMA, I instantly took a liking towards the gym and the people. Texas 3rd Coast MMA was the perfect gym to help me build a foundation in MMA. The instructors were amazing. Every time I did something wrong, they would teach me the correct and technical way to do it. They have excellent classes and great workouts. The gym is well equipped with the right instructors and equipment. The environment at Texas 3rd Coast MMA is great; everybody is nice and friendly to each other. Texas 3rd Coast MMA is a perfect place to train MMA, boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kick-boxing, and other martial arts.

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 didnt care about us personally.This gym has a list of different styles of martial arts you can try and it is not an intimidating atmosphere. The gym is family owned by Joe, Jason and Pat Soliz. They are super helpful with any needs or questions you may have. The gym is always clean and everyone is respectful towards the equipment and each other.Being a small female, it can be hard finding a gym where the men and instructors wont neglect you. So that is why Im so happy to have found this gym. The instructors and fellow classmates are very respectful training partners. The owners personally teach some of the classes along with a few other instructors and its amazing, they are all incredibly knowledgeable.I also want to mention the youth program at TX 3rd Coast Mma. I have seen many gyms where the youth program is just bad. This gym probably has one of the best youth programs I have ever seen. The children learn discipline and respect and most importantly, they learn how to control their body, which is so amazing at such a young age. This is really important when a child is learning martial arts. Not to mention it is one of the only gyms where the youth program is taught to really grapple and fight (in a safe environment) and not just hit pads all day. I wish I had this place as a kid!

I love this gym! Unfortunately, Im moving, so Ill be leaving them. 😞 But if you want an amazing gym for MMA, Boxing, BJJ, Kick Boxing, JKD, choose them! You will be glad you did! The owners and coaches, Joe and Jason are great! Lance, who coaches MMA and boxing is awesome!!! Im new to MMA and am a girl and he constantly pushes me to do my best and believes in me! Ive now been participating for 6 months and without him as a coach, I wouldnt have made it this far. I will absolutely miss my team at TX 3rd Coast!

We have been coming here as a family since they opened! We love our gym family and couldnt imagine going anywhere else.

I have been training jiu jitsu here for almost 4 years. I couldn’t of picked a better place. Between professors Joe and Jason, they teach a great mix of solid fundamentals and new age techniques. The Soliz family do a great job of running the gym and making you feel welcome as soon as you walk though the door. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn martial arts or to just get in shape.

Great training with excellent instructors. Atmosphere encourages thoughtful learning of martial arts and a workout no matter who you are...beginner to advanced student

The best jiujitsu and MMA gym I’ve been to so far.I move around a lot and I’ve been to four gyms at different locations on the east coast. Each gym I’ve stayed for at least 2 years. I haven’t been too long in Texas but TX 3rd coast coaches are great at what they do. It is very community friendly and they have a good variety of martial arts.The instructors are also very helpful and fair. I appreciate that they are careful with handling the children during class because safety is always first. They know what is most important in a situation and that also applies to the techniques they teach in mma.I learned so much about transitioning and conceptualizing movements in jiujitsu that was never taught to me in the other gyms. I definitely recommend trying TX 3rd coast mma out whether you are a beginner or have been doing it for a while ^^

TX 3rd Coast MMA is my home away from home! The gym has a friendly environment. The instructors and assistant instructors are phenomenal. The best gym I’ve been to in the Houston area. I signed up my daughter for Jiu Jitsu because she was benig picked on at school. Since she started training she has gone from being shy and quiet to confident and outgoing! The instructors are great with the children and run great programs. As a single parent it is important for me to be able to defend myself and my daughter. I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for 3 years now. I’ve learned the self defense and competition side of Jiu Jitsu. I’m confident in my training as a competitor but most importantly because I know I’ll be able to protect myself and my daughter. My daughter and I have learned lessons that can be applied not only in training but to our everyday life as well. The instructors are dedicated to help each individual learn wether it be Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, JKD, Self Defense you name it. Stepping into TX 3rd Coast MMA will be a great experience for you and your family. You will not regret it!#mma #jiujitsu #selfdefense #kidsjiujitsu #boxing #kickboxing #jkd

Best place to learn mixed martial arts. Ive trained in a couple of place but this gym as it all. The main instructors Joe Soliz and Jason Soilz really do know what they are teaching, when i has a question they always has the answer to it. I am one of their students and still learning about all this wonderful arts. So if you want to come and try out the gym, your more then welcome to stop by.

This place is my second home, I can’t stress enough about the environment in this gym. No one here is trying to step on you everyone wants everyone to be great. The instructors proffesor Joe and Jason soliz take a lot of pride in their gym. They are very detailed with their techniques and very patient and thats the key. im glad i chose this gym, Im forever tx 3rd coast!,Cory V.

My two kids (son and daughter) and I have all had great experiences at TX 3rd Coast MMA. All their classes are the real deal but they make sure the kids have fun while learning. Discipline, respect, and extreme effort are all skillfully encouraged by the best coaches in the Houston area. Ive visited BJJ clubs for a quick class while on business travel and everytime theyve known Professors Joe and Jason...all the way from Dan Francisco, Las Vegas, and Mississippi. They arent just coaches, theyre experts in their craft and truly love what they do. Whether your looking at learning Brazilian Jujitsu (both gi and no-gi), MMA, boxing, weapons training,self-defense, or your looking for a trainer to get you to the next level in physical fitness, I wouldnt recommend any other gym in the Houston area, but I do recommend this one.

Both my husband and kids enjoy learning MMA and putting their skills to work. Great family oriented environment and both Coach Joe and Jason Solis expertise is one of a kind.

I came as an exchange student to America and searched for a MMA Gym. I found one after a while, Tx 3rd COAST MMA and I started to love it after the first class. The Instructors and people are awesome, they are open minded, nice and great teachers. Everybody helps each other it is like a family. The building for its own is insane, the structure with the windows is giving you an incredible view on the near river. The gym a wide spectrum of classes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Boxing, Women’s Self Defense as well as for men and Fitness classes. The gym also offers Kid’s classes and private training. I’m trying to attend every class I can and because of the good schedule it is possible to be there everyday. If you want to compete in MMA or any other martial art the coaches are going to lead you in the right direction, train and prepare you. At the end I can recommend the gym to everybody who is interested in workingout, martial arts, competing and loosing weight as well.

Joining this gym has been the best decision I’ve made in my life! This gym is very welcoming and family-oriented. The instructors, Professor Joe and Coach Jason really uphold their standards in the quality of teaching. They’re skilled and dedicated and caters to every individual no matter the level of skill they’re at. Their kids program is also top notch, one of the best I’ve ever seen! They offer a variety of classes such as Jiu Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, Kickboxing, Submission Grappling…etc. whether you’re just looking for a good workout or learn some self defense, this is the perfect place for you. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! men, women and children alike

I received a taste of jiu jitsu during my time in the U.S Army, and I knew once I got out of the military that I wanted to start training. After moving to Houston I started to research different gyms and even try a couple out, but after my first class at TX 3rd Coast I knew I had found the place for me. The atmosphere is great and professor Joe and Jason not only give you the tools to grow and evolve as a martial artist, but they invest their time into you and truly develop a meaningful relationship.If your looking to learn self-defense, get into shape, or compete this place has it all. They have dedicated coaches and training partners to help you in boxing, jiu-jitsu, mma, or JKD.If your in the Sugar Land area 3rd Coast is definitely worth a visit.

Very good gym for the whole family! The kids classes are great!

High quality gym, everything about this place breeds excellence.

Love training here instructors are great people

I personally pursue boxing. I have had the pleasure of training at this gym for a while now and i have to say its helped me out a lot. Prof Joe and Jason Soliz are outstanding trainers. In the sense that they give personalized attention and dont just treat the class as a whole. Wether you have experience or youre a first timer you will receive proper instruction fit for your level and goals. I started knowing nothing and now with all of their help Im hoping to start some ameature fights and have them in my corner.

Best MMA/jiu jitsu place you can ever find.SO lucky to have place like this in Sugar Land.Definitely the BEST.Professor Joe and Jason kindly and patiently teache step by step and roll with you to make sure you use what you learn in mat time.And students in all color of belts will roll with you and all of them are nice and fun.and the cost is most reasonable as well.Most of students here checked out other places and concluded that TX 3rd Coast is IT!They give a week of a trial.Try it first.

In this day and age it is extremely difficult to find a legitimate martial arts school with the recent thousands of water-downed Karate and Tae Kwon Do studios popping up on every street corner. After years of searching, I finally found a place as awesome as 3rd Coast. Two of some of the greatest teachers in the country, Joe and Jason Soliz, run an amazing family-like gym that satisfies all of your martial arts needs. I highly recommend TX 3rd Coast MMA to any aspiring martial artist.

I had been going here for about a year before I had to move, and I must say that this is one of the most inviting, encouraging, and practical places to learn Martial Arts and to stay fit. Both Joe and Jason are some of the best teachers Ive had, and they really look out for their students. Ive learned a lot from them, not just about Jeet Kun Do and MMA Techniques, but also about fitness, self-defense, and also just good character. Id recommend this place 100%.

TX 3rd Coast MMA has an amazing kids program in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. My son begged me for years to train in martial arts, but I refused until the day I met Mr. Joe Soliz and his son Jason. They changed my entire outlook. Joe and Jason invest their time and truly care about these kids, setting them up to succeed on the mat...and off. They love what they do and you can tell by how they coach and how the kids respond. The feeling of camaraderie, among the kids and adults, is unmatched and you always feel like you are a part of the team.

Ladies, if youre tired of the same old choreographed Zumba or workout class and you want to get serious about taking your workout to the next level like I did, give the Cardio Kickboxing class a shot. The atmosphere is not intimidating and the staff are all extremely nice. Jason, the instructor, keeps the class interesting. Each Cardio Kickboxing class is different and we work on different areas of the body. You will not regret it.

This is where you can find Brazilian jiu jitsu, Jeet Kun Do, Boxing, Kick boxing, weapons instruction and more all in one spot without sacrificing the quality of instruction of each individual art. Some martial arts dojos/gyms become hyper focused on local competitions and neglect the practical application of the arts, but this place does a great job of balancing it all without the ego that some gyms have. I tried out about 5 locations before deciding on training here and feel measurable improvement over the past year and a half.

Thank You Joe and Jason Soliz ( Instructors)Your school shows that you guys put in a lot time and effort to make it a top notch MMA/BJJ school in Sugarland and in the Houston area. I really appreciate it how you guys take your time and explain in detail different aspects of the moves (game).Thank You,B. Martinez

Im glad I found this place and encouraged a few of my colleagues to join me in trying out this MMA gym. We are all non-locals only in SugarLand for a 5 week training course and wanted to find a gym to workout after office hours. TX 3rd Coast MMA offered us something very different to the norm, and offered us the first week to test it out for free. I knew from day one I was going to join for the remainder of my time in Houston. Being beginners at MMA, I thought it would be intimidating initially, however that was far from the case. Joe and Jason work at a good pace and push you to improve with steady progress in fitness and technique. There is a good mix of people in the gym ranging from beginners to very competent individuals and everyone is treated with respect. I recommend any beginners to purchase a pair of sparring gloves if you intend to take the cardio-kickboxing, MMA fitness and boxing class and dont want to borrow someone elses sweaty gloves. All in all, I highly recommend this MMA gym!

Joe and and Jason are Excellent instructors! They keep up on the latest and most effective Ju-Jitsu techniques for those who like to compete and the Kickboxing World Class! They focus on safety and respect for your training partners. The gym has a friendly welcoming atmosphere and the staff treats everyone like family. I personally have known Joe and Jason Solis before they opened the gym and they have never changed. Joe would invite everyone over to his house to train and let them use his showers, offer food and drinks, and just treat eveyone like his own family. Overall Tx 3rd Coast MMA is a Great place to train and makes me proud to call it Home!

Not your average gym,highly qualified staff, and great enviornment for training and family

This is BY FAR the nicest MMA gym that I have ever stepped into. The venue is amazing, and the people are so nice and generous.I have only been there twice, but the first time I was taught by Jason Soliz. The second time, it was taught by Joe Soliz. Having never really done BJJ, they were completely willing to spend some individual time with me and challenge me at the appropriate level. The guys there participating in the class were a really fun bunch, all of them very encouraging.The instructors are definitely very qualified, but I really think what made me like it so much was how kind and patient they were.The gym itself has windows on almost all sides, so it is very open and lit up. Right behind the gym you can see a small river flowing.There is a section where you can do weights or punch bags, and then of course a section for BJJ.I would sincerely train here every day if I could (unfortunately, I dont live in the area).

I joined TX 3rd Coast about 6 months ago. Having no martial arts experience, and being ridiculously un-coordinated, I decided one day to try out the gym. There are a variety of arts taught: Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Grappling, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), MMA, Cardio Kickboxing, MMA Fitness, and even some junior courses for the young students.Even with no experience and knowing no one at the gym, I was immediately welcomed into this amazing gym-family. Coach Joe and Jason, two great instructors who are the backbone of this gym, showed me the ropes and taught me the basics with all the arts that are taught, while showing me how to expand on those skills.I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning any of the martial arts. Ive learned a great deal while here. Come and try the gym out. Youll love it.

A year ago i decided to make a change. I weighed in at 227 lbs a year ago. And I knew the first step was finding a gym to help me reach my goals. I have known Professor Joe Soliz of Texas 3rd Coast MMA for over 20 yrs. I have seen his success and accomplishments grow through the years in Mixed Martial Arts. Joe is definetly a dedicated Professor and true to the Mixed Martial Arts world. I remember getting to TX3CMMA gym and I was introduced to Joes son Jason, i knew of Jason but that was the first time I had met him. My first impression was his attitude and professionalism towards a new member was great, that was just traits passed down from his father.I signed up for cardio kickboxing and MMA Fitness, both of those class sessions are great for losing weight and getting fit. After 3 mths of the combination of cardio kickboxing and MMA Fitness I had lost15 lbs. now weighing 212 lbs. Since then I have also been taking the BBJ class and has also been a great experience. I am now down to 194 lbs. losing a total of 33lbs and dropped 3 pant sizes.Over all Texas 3rd Coast MMA has been a great place to train with top notched instructors Professor Joe and Jason Soliz. The atmosphere is family oriented and professionally managed. They have a great kids camp which my daughter has also been a part of. I have met alot of new friends and I would recommend this gym to everyone.

TX 3rd Coast MMA is the best! The instructors go above and beyond to help and educate in all elements of combative sports. If you are thinking about training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing or Jeet Kune Do, these are the guys you want in your corner!

Coaches misinterpret too much. Like Jason Nguyen said.

This is by far one of the best gyms around

TX 3rd Coast MMA is excellent . Great Facility, with Great Instructors.

BEST GYM IN HOUSTON!🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Never answer phones.

Love this place
