“One of the amazing things about this gym is fact that I was a shy teenage girl with no experience and they made me feel comfortable with as an absolute beginner.  Something that separates Westside’s grappling program is the fact that it has an amazing Judo program with 3 judo Black Belts, Catch Wrestling, & a ton of BJJ Black Belts. Training here is like training at 3 separate grappling gyms!  The amount of coaches is astounding.  Did I mention there beginner BJJ classes are amazing too?”
Hillary Williams, BJJ World Champion & Med Student

If you are like most people and you are just looking for a great gym to get in shape, meet some friends and learn a new sport/self-defense then this is the absolute World Class gym for you.  Our diverse coaching staff helps us give everyone attention.  From the future World Champions to the Average Joe’s having fun.

Read this amazing testimonial below from a former Obese video gamer who ended up losing over 100lbs at Westside MMA becoming a great Martial Artist.

“I was really looking for a way to get in shape, at 340lbs I just felt my life was passing me by.  I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Westside and enjoyed it so much I later added the kickboxing classes to my schedule.  Because of the personal attention and quality of this gym I was able to win some big matches as well as change my life for the better.  Westside MMA is the gym that gives you not only great Martial Arts but also an atmosphere that is welcoming and makes it easy to stick with it!  As a blue belt (the first belt you get in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) I was able to defeat a GRACIE Black Belt!  You can watch the video here and see coach Roli right by my side yelling for me to do the knee bar (a catch/sambo specialty move) right when I hit it.  I’m proof that anyone can do this, I had no intentions of becoming a competitor and even if I never competed I would have still needed a program like this to learn how to defend myself.”
Kevin Sniff, US Peace Corps

 

“”My son Nick and I started training at Westside MMA and really enjoy the training.  The beginners program was perfect for us, especially when we were just starting out, we still do those classes as well from time to time!  If you’re looking for something fun to do and looking for a place to meet new friends then you should definitely take advantage of the free trial and try out a class.””

The Jiu jitsu program at Westside MMA is amazing.  I have been there twice and I always tell people that these guys train with A LOT of heart!  I can’t wait to train there again!  Aside from being great grapplers, these are really good people!”  In 2012 I plan on returning again and staying a while.  Maybe even train MMA with the team and do some fights representing WESTSIDE MMA!

I have a good reputation for my half guard and so Hillary Williams had the Westside team bring me up and work it with the team.  I was here for a week and I know the team benefited a lot.  Who knew that there was such awesome training in the middle of Arkansas!

I love these guys, I trained at Westside MMA.  Teaching the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes and also learning leg locks and Judo.  I did a Judo tournament while I was there with the Judo team and won all 5 of my matches by Ippon (perfect throw) I achieved my green belt in Judo at Westside!  I also improved my boxing and wrestling as well as made great friends.  You can become a champion at  that gym!

Westside MMA is the best MMA academy in the midsouth for sure. Roli and Matt’s experience not only make them the experts in MMA, but also in each individual art in its makeup. Their level of sophistication, professionalism, and care for student progress is always priority on thier list; and these qualities are rare in todays cookie cutter, popup MMA gyms. Westside MMA is not just a gym…Its a GEM.
