Amazing coaching staff and a great atmosphere that fosters growth, humility, and community! I started my jiujitsu journey at Westside in 2022. Everyone in there was willing to lend a helping hand and made me feel welcome. After leaving town for two years, I happily returned to Westside and was accepted back immediately. It was lovely to see that the energy and quality of training has only continued to grow. If you’re looking for a great way to not only learn BJJ but also meet great people, please come to Westside!

I was in the area for work and called Westside BJJ ahead of my arrival, making sure they were ok with drop ins/ guests. One of the owners, Tabatha, answered all my questions and when I showed up the next day for class, she remembered my name and welcomed me very kindly. The women’s class and the following co-ed adult class were both great. Good techniques and great details were taught. Everyone on the mats was welcoming and the rolls after class were respectful and savage…perfect combination. THANK YOU for having me. I’ll would definitely return if work takes me here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been training with Ken and Tabitha for almost 5 years. During that time, I have benefited from their vast knowledge of Jiu Jitsu and the amazing culture of encouragement and support.
