The best gym there is in El Paso. I came from another gym and the culture at Briggs MMA is unmatched. As soon as you walk through the door, the energy is high, the vibes are good, and the people are amazing. Coaching staff and Professor Briggs are incredibly educated and knowledgeable in their martial arts and teaching. The kids class is an amazing program handled with gentleness and confidence. The adults class is mixed with different people who challenge you to push yourself to the limit and work harder. The owners are amazing human beings and truly want to see you succeed. They care about your health and fitness goals, and where you want to be with your training in the future. Briggs MMA has become a family to me and others on the mats.
My daughter has been training here for 3 years and she absolutely loves it! I was a bit scared for her since she is a girl, but everyone takes care of her so well and wants the best for her. Coach Jesse, does an outstanding job with connecting with each and every one of his students for them to have the best outcome in their training. The owners are amazing people who see people as new projects and not money. They both make sure you are on the right track for your fitness and have a future goal for yourself. My daughter spends more time at Briggs Academy than at home! Amazing academy.
I’ve been training at Briggs MMA since the gym opened, and the owner Jesse Briggs is an awesome guy. Everyone here has become a family and we all want the best for each other. There is an amazing gym etiquette and culture here at Briggs Academy.
