Elite MMA

Elite Mixed Martial Arts has been the host to several BJJ world champions who have come to Houston to vacation America and share some of their BJJ "secrets". World/Mundial Champion Black belts Ze Mario Accord "Esfiha" and Felipe Silva have taught extensively at our school in Houston. Early in 2006, we hosted BJJ brown belt "Beto," then later that year Octavio Couto Jr "Ratinho" came to teach. For the beginning of 2007 Ratinho has come back to stay for several months. When the guys from Brazil are not able to visit, we at Elite travel to Brazil to train. Frost Murphy, a black belt instructor teaching in Baytown, trained for 6 months in Rio. While in Rio, we train at the BRASA TEAM's academies with Octavio Couto Jr. "Ratinho", Felipe de Costa, Vinny Campelo, Muzio de Angeles, and others.
