Little Rock was the lucky host of the professional grappling show Summit Grappling and two of our instructors here at Westside MMA closed out the absolute division after winning their super fights by submissions. Dylan teaches the Monday night wrestling practices and Ataide covers most of the Jiu Jitsu classes here as well. Dylan came from a wrestling background originally and Ataide was more of a Gi practitioner before arriving to Westside last year. The melting pot of instructors here provides a great advantage over the competition. We want to give both of these coaches a big congrats on winning and putting some cash in their pockets! By the way, both are available for private lessons!
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!!!!
