Westside Striking

About

Deeply rooted in the red dirt of Waianae, **Westside Striking Club** is more than just a fight gym—it is a community forge where strong minds and bodies are built daily. Under the guidance of Head Coach Michael "Mike" Talalotu, a former amateur champion with a legacy of producing national and world titleholders, this club operates on the philosophy of "Train Hard, Fight Easy." While the training is rigorous enough to prepare athletes for competition on global stages—from Las Vegas to Europe—the core mission remains humble: creating well-rounded individuals who fight for their dreams inside the ring and for their community outside of it. **Program Highlights** * **Youth Striking (Ages 6+):** Comprehensive instruction in Western Boxing and Kickboxing fundamentals, focusing on limb coordination and defensive responsibility. * **Competition Team:** An active travel team that competes in state, national, and international tournaments. * **Community Service:** Mandatory participation in club-led events like beach cleanups and food drives to build character and humility. * **7-Day Training:** The gym maintains an active schedule, offering flexibility for dedicated athletes to train consistently.
