Westside MMA

Fantastic experience: Great coachs, great staff and its a very clean space!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Westside for almost 10 years, across the BJJ, MMA and Muay Thai mats. The gym has a great culture; friendly, welcoming and professional, catering to a diverse range of students. The coaches and management have always looked after me, and I've always felt safe and supported on the journey. I've met a lot of great people on the mats, and am always inspired to see students develop from beginners to confident martial artists that help grow the next generation. The head BJJ coach André is an experienced and passionate black belt under Carlos Viera, with great technical knowledge matched by his character and sense of humour. He's dedicated to his students and his art, and is a positive influence on everyone around him. Head Muay Thai coach Abbas is a 6x World Champion with 130+ fights, and is the most humble and respectful individual you'll ever meet. Young coach Michael is an absolute gentleman as well. He's well-trained and utilises pure technique without muscle or ego. He's one of the safest and most considerate guys on the mat. Owner and receptionist Jennie is like a Mum to everyone, always supportive, ready for a laugh and a chat, and somehow remembers the names of hundreds of students! She goes above and beyond for her gym family, and it's no wonder she's formed lasting connections with so many students and families. As a side note, the lighting at Westside is magnificent; a functional happy medium between showroom chic and day spa relaxed. I'd give it 5/5 stars, along with the gym as a whole.

Fantastic experience: Whatever Moshi Monster reviewed is completely way off, seems like they only did one class and thought they knew everything. Westside MMA has been nothing but welcoming, making you feel part of the family who run the place. Jenny is a mother to us all and treats us as such. All coaches have their styles as every individual should, they are fighting coaches so if you are looking to compete, these are the coaches to have. Everyone in class is accomodating to your level as long as you express your experience, or else its always hard training which i love, none of this fragile training. Westside MMA have done so much for the fighting culture, certified staple in the west.

Fantastic experience: Great mma gym in the west. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Jennie goes above and beyond to support you getting started. I felt super comfortable as a female attending this gym, it is very inclusive. I trialled a few mma gyms, Westside stood out to me the most as the atmosphere is very friendly and people are very genuine here. I feel comfortable asking for help from all the coaches and the more experienced students. The coaches do their best to prepare you for fights and competitions and are genuinely invested in your progress. Training under Andre Valente is a cheat code to understanding BJJ. Thank you to Jennie and all the coaches for creating an awesome space to train

Fantastic experience: i was feeling very directionless and depressed the day before i decided to give the beginners session for Muay Thai, I'm so glad to say that the experience was exactly what i needed to lift my spirits and push my body to be better. Abbas was very patient with me and took time, since i was a beginner, to make sure i got the basics down, and i was very grateful for that. I will be back Friday night! - William.
