Michael Moran

"I was in NO for Vacation with my Wife. I found Nola Westbank on google and they had a 6AM class. This let me get some training in and get back before breakfast with the wife. Perfect!!!!! Left a vmail got a text back welcoming me almost immediately. Great guys, great jujitsu. Thanks for for the hospitality. Take care, Mike Hillsborough BJJ. New Jersey."

Renee M

"In town for a week and these guys were soo welcoming. This team is awesome. Reminded me of home! I wish I had found them earlier in my stay bc I would have tried to squeeze in a few more classes. You all have an open invitation to AMAG if you're ever in MD. Thank you for a great gi and fire kick boxing class."

"I shared this with the coach but thought it was relevant for parents considering Jiu jitsu. I was a little nervous when we signed my son up for jujitsu. I didn’t know if he would be ready with his autism diagnosis at 6 years old. I must say from the first class it has done this momma’s heart good. The fact that he sits and listens. That he is doing something with his peers that treat him the same. He is growing a Jiu jitsu and Westmore is promoting his growth When belt promotions recently occurred coach Manny told the kids they’re family and all the coaches love them and will always be there for them. My son listens to manny during his matches and looks at him like a true role model. The fact that he looked at you and listened was awesome! I love what this sport is teaching our son about life! I never thought I’d be a mom with a gym mat in my family room but that’s mom’s only rule. No jujitsu unless you’re on the mat! Try Westmore for your kids. Just might be the best decision you ever made"

Tre Sanders

"Went and stepped out of my element today and tried something new. These guys were great, and I recommend it as a great place to learn and practice BJJ. My old friend convinced me to do it 😂. In short, you get to learn from polished martial artist and have fun when doing so."
