Training Options

Our main focus is to use Panantukan (Filipino boxing) as an offensive defense, then go into offensive moves from Dutch Kickboxing and Muay Thai. For those who pursue it, concepts from MMA and Jiu-Jitsu will be taught for ground fighting. All is taught from the conceptual framework of The Warrior Path.

We have a competition path and a self-defense path.

For those seeking the full MMA path with amateur competition option:

Schedule:

Monday: 5-6am - Westside MMA | 6-8pm - Gracie-Barra Twin Cities No Gi Jiu Jitsu

Tuesday: 5-6am - Westside MMA

Wednesday: 5-6am - Westside MMA | 6-8pm - Gracie-Barra Twin Cities No Gi Jiu Jitsu

Thursday: 5-6am - Westside MMA

Saturday: 8-10am Open Gym Muai Thai with Guro Scott

In this class option, Westside MMA students would take The Warrior Path striking class in the mornings. They would then be able to take No Gi Jiu-Jitsu Classes at Gracie-Barra Twin Cities Jiu-Jitsu. Through this combination, students would have the option to do amateur MMA fights.
