From the reviews
Westside MMA is THE best place to train in Central Arkansas, if not the entire south. Yes, I said it. You will not find a better place that has everything you could ask for in a martial arts gym: reputable, experienced, and just flat-out amazing coaches, a welcoming and warm community made up of people from all walks…
I’m a bit late with this review (apologies). I went on a business trip to Little Rock and had some down time. While looking for a Muay Thai or heavy bag workout and came across Westside MMA. The owners were fantastic and allowed me to train for the day.
Westside is a great gym. I've had the honor of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Coach Roli the few times I can get down to the Little Rock area. Everyone, from the instructors to the front desk to the students, are all incredibly welcoming.
6 out of 7 (ages 16-5) of my kids train at Westside and they provide great training for all ages and interest levels. The coaches are amazing and do a great job of challenging the kids who are passionate about Jiu jitsu, as well as offering fun opportunities for my little guys to start working on the basics.
Your first muay thai class at Westside Mixed Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
