Katherine Hart decided to sign up for worlds even though she hadn't been able to train much with her school schedule at UAMS. In 7 weeks she dropped 7 pounds using a variation of the keto diet and trained extensively with her husband Roli Delgado and her coach Ataide here at Westside. All three of her victories were a result of her will to win, conditioning and keeping a simple game plan of being proactive and utilizing her coaches experience. We're incredibly proud of her and thank all of her training partners that made the time to work with her for this amazing event. Both Katie and her husband share a medal at their first worlds event which we think is pretty cool! Congrats Katie!
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!!!!
