“Supportive, encouraging, kind, and committed environment. Instructors push students in a supportive manner. The school fosters a great sense of community for kids and parents alike. An overall exceptional institution.“

“We are a military family and found this place because they came to Nixon and my daughter was interested. The instructors are so good with the kids and are really able to get them to focus, learn and control their body. My daughter has ADHD and they were supportive and they make sure to acknowledge things that the kids are doing well. They teach the students how to be a good person as well as learning karate skills. Highly highly recommend!! Sadly we are PCSing and that’s the only reason we are leaving.“

“El Paso kung fu not only shows discipline and practical skills to defend yourself. But everybody is very welcoming and always there to lend a helping hand. They have some great masters and if you have questions they will be there to answer them and show you anything you might need answered. They are really great with the kiddos“

“I was with this Jijitsu school from Nov 2023-2024. Best group of people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. The professors are phenomenal and truly care for the students and their Jijitsu journey. I can’t thank Professor Jeff, Professor Jonathan, Coach Alexis. All of the students who attend this school help each other and push each other to reach the full potential. I left due to my military obligation ending, but love growing with this group of people. If you looking to start your Jijitsu journey in El Paso, I would recommend Gracie barra East El Paso(West Location is great too)“

“AIKIDO???what a way to go. Each defensive art has itsgoods and bads. I've been with aikido of elpaso 18 years, what a ride. You owe it to yourself to give aikido a second look when considering a defensive art. (I'm 72...age does not matter)“

“It pays to learn from the best in the business!!!!! Jaime Guillen is professional and patient and expects his students to follow instruction. He taught me how to be comfortable with a firearm and use it correctly.“

“The individual Taoist Breathing classes that I've been taking with Steve, via Zoom, significantly reduced my symptoms of mild obstructive lung disease. I no longer spend the morning clearing my lungs, and haven't had to use my inhaler. Steve is a born teacher, and very good at individualizing his teaching to his students' needs.“

“absolutely amazing place, learned a lot from here in so many different ways that have all made an amazing impact to my life. not only about fighting but about confidence and leadership too“

“From the very moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted warmly by the instructors and staff. They are not only extraordinarily knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about teaching, which plays a significant role in your learning experience and motivates you to push yourself even harder. The instructors break down techniques in a way that is easy to understand, while also providing the encouragement you need to continually improve. Without a doubt, this is hands down the best MMA gym in El Paso.“

Matt is an amazing instructor who teaches his students to have morals, values, respect and responsibility. The environment allows the opportunity to get to know new people and create new friendships. The dojo is our second home. The instructors truly care and make learning fun. We highly recommend this dojo for any one wanting to start their journey or continue to grow in the martial arts area. There is something here for all ages.“
