“I've trained at 20+ martial arts gyms over the past couple of decades and I've got to say that West Side Jiu Jitsu is one of the best. The head instructor Mark is a very clear teacher with a lot of knowledge and one of the friendliest personalities. His teaching is reflected in his students, who are all very welcoming and friendly, and also skilled and hard workers. Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu, and a great place to help prep for competition.”

“West Side is a great facility for Jiu Jitsu and fitness. The atmosphere is welcoming, never intimidating. And Mark is not only an excellent jiu jitsu instructor, he is also great with kids. Our son Jackson loves the classes at West Side and his time there has increased his confidence and skill. Highly recommended for beginners and experienced alike.”

“My wife and I have been bringing our 3 kids to West Side Jiu Jitsu for about 6 months now. The instructors are awesome with all of the kids, they get the kids engaged in healthy exercise and the workout gets them sweaty and tired. Mark is an awesome teacher and I cannot say enough about how great this place is. Bring your kids or your adults there are classes for all ages and abilities.”
