02 / Why Westside
Supporting jiu-jitsu athletes and coaches since 2013.
Tom Barry, Westside’s head coach, works with Dante Leon and athletes from Adamas Jiu Jitsu, as well as Ademir Barreto and Vitor Oliveira of Ronin Training Center.
This founding academy service brings that experience to your academy through strength programming for students and education and practical guidance for coaches.

03 / Getting started
Once your academy joins, we shape the setup and relevant preparation around your chosen package and how you’ll use it.
Start with your goals, your members, the space and equipment available to them, and any coaching experience within your staff.
Plan how you’ll offer student programming or deliver coached sessions. For the coach package, we assess your staff member’s knowledge and tailor education and mentoring before they lead training.
Set up BridgeAthletic for your chosen package and shape programming around your members and available equipment—from a full gym to a smaller setup or suitable body-weight options.
Begin using the programming with your students. With the coach package, your prepared staff member leads sessions and uses weekly and monthly calls and direct contact to review and adapt.
Preparing a coach to lead sessions? We review relevant coaching qualifications and CPR and first-aid credentials as part of preparation. Your academy arranges its own insurance.
Building out your training space? We can introduce equipment vendors from our network and help you assess options that suit your academy.
