Westside MMA Reviews

After training in MMA since 2010 I have finally found my home gym. The techniques taught and the charisma and characteristics of the people that train everyday beats any other place hands down. The vibe you get as soon as you walk through the doors will reassure your decision of the right place to pour in your hard effort, sweat and tears. After every class you are guaranteed leaving the mats feeling like a better more accomplished person than you were before stepping foot upon them. The love that carries over outside of the mats into your everyday life where you make not only new friends but also inherit a new family. The level of respect and appreciation these brothers and sisters share for one another is truly a showcase for MMA

Talented coaches who have completed and coached at the highest levels, and excellent training partners make Westside a great gym whether you want to compete or get in shape. The training here is top notch for anywhere, so we’re lucky to have it here in Arkansas.

This place is amazing! If you are looking to get in shape, please give Westside a shot! Whether grappling or striking, you'll get in shape fast! Lifting weights or running has its place but it's boring.... you'll have so much fun here that getting in shape is a by-product!!!!

Whether you are just looking for a good workout with friendly, motivating people or you are looking for a gym to push you to your competitive limits, Westside is the place to go! Everyone is extremely friendly and inviting and there is a wide variety of different classes to try out every day of the week. You will not only improve your physical fitness, but you will gain an amazing social network of wonderful people from all walks of life who encourage you to keep pushing yourself. I've never regretted joining this gym and I have never regretted going to a class there. It's top quality without a doubt!

Incredible place to work out no matter what shape you are in or your experience level. They always keep it fresh and a light mood. I’m 5 months in so far and love it and will continue to keep going as long as I can. Great group of coaches and people there. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I visited Westside for a Pimenta seminar about two years ago. I was so impressed with the coaches and the team that I signed up shortly after. It's made all of the difference in my journey. The coaches are passionate and have created a team full of very talented and technical people. There a ton of people training during normal class hours, but you can always count on people putting in extra work too. Can't imagine training anywhere else!

I started my MMA and Jiu Jitsu journey in 2007 with the owners of Westside, Matt and Roli. 9 years later when I returned back to Arkansas from the military I was welcomed with open arms and a very hearty welcome back from both of them. My MMA days are long over but I still pursue Brazilian jiu Jitsu and there is no other spot in the state for it! There's everyone from high school kids to single parents to people stepping into a gym for the first time in their life to professional fighters, and it's all smiles and hard work here. The Side houses a sense of family that is rarely found in other gyms.

I've been training with Matt and Roli since my first fight over 6 years ago and continue to learn new stuff every time I go to class which is why I travel over 1 hour one way to train with them several days a week. There are no better BJJ or MMA instructors in the state and the facility is one of the best training centers I've ever seen. If you like training hard and having fun at the same time, look no further than Westside Kickboxing and BJJ, and become part of the family.

Say goodbye to motivation problems, and say hello to Matt, Boris, and the rest of the crew at Westside MMA! Any age, fitness level, experienced or not, any weight loss or competition goal...you can get the guidance and encouragement you are looking for here. I started out with a Living Social coupon, and now I'm hooked. I've never had so much fun getting my butt kicked with workouts. Try a class for free, I bet you'll come back. It's well worth the cost of the membership, so work it into your budget! I mean it! :)

We were terrified that finding the right jiu-jitsu gym for our kids was going to be a huge, stressful ordeal since we were new to Little Rock and didn’t know anyone who could refer us to a good place. Not only did we want a gym with skilled and experienced instructors, but we also wanted a positive environment to help create our children’s competitive mentality. In Westside we found far more than we hoped to find. Not only did we discover outstanding coaches for our rambunctious little ones, but we also gained an extended family.
