Westside BJJ

I visit a couple dozen different Jiu Jitsu gyms every year. This is a great place to train. The instructor and students are welcoming and friendly with a focus on technique and community. Clean mats. Lots of parking. Highly recommend!

Got to visit Westside BJJ today and had an amazing experience. Clean mats and clean facilities. But more important the culture there is fantastic. I felt welcomed immediately by everyone going out of their way to say hi. I had some hard rolls and great conversations after. Bruno the owner / professor was super genuine and friendly. Invited me in like I’ve been there for years. No egos on these mats just good hard work. If your in the Arkansas area definitely stop by hear. Thanks for an awesome experience.

I brought my son here several months ago and have been truly impressed by the facility and the Coach Bruno and the other instructors. The mats and gym are very clean and the coaches have been fantastic. My son quickly gained more physical conditioning and confidence, as well as greatly enjoying every class. I also like being able to let him train both gi and no-gi classes in the same membership, as well as the month-by-month billing schedule. Classes are flexible too, so we can pick which days we go. Highly recommend you try a lesson if you are curious!

I’ve trained Jiu Jitsu at gyms all around the world, and I can honestly say this place stands out. The mats are some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen, the environment is welcoming, and the people are genuinely nice. Every class is structured and technical, with attention to detail that makes a real difference. As a brown belt, I appreciate how the instruction challenges me while still being accessible for all levels. Great vibes, great training, and definitely a gym I’ll keep coming back to.

When I was considering rolling at Westside Chenal, I was apprehensive because I'm a physician and business owner and I cannot get hurt. Chenal stands out to me because the coaches do a great job of removing fear of injury by keeping a strong culture of get after it with control and respect. That filters down to the members. The coaches know how to run a room where people with careers and responsibilities can train hard without unnecessary risk. But don't let that fool you, Bruno is one of the best. He and his team prepare high level competitors for their endeavors as well. If you're on the fence about BJJ, give Westside Chenal a try. No one wants to hurt you. I'm grateful to the Westside family.
