Experience Paragon
Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides an experience that is truly special. With techniques taught by the best, great facilities, and expanding martial arts, there is something for everyone. Take a look below to see what we pride ourselves on.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes straight from Brazil. Paragon founder Ricardo “Franjinha” Miller trained in Brazil before moving to the United States in 1996. He’s learned from the best and brought elite Jiu-Jitsu to the area.
There is a large mat space for all our students at Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This allows us to help everyone receive personalized training for their goals in BJJ or any other martial art.
This is a great place for children to train. We have plenty of equipment to keep them active and enjoy their time.
We have more than just Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at Paragon. You can join us in BJJ or train in Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Wrestling, or Boxing. Take a look to start your martial arts journey!
As a California martial arts academy for nearly 30 years, we have learned a great deal in our years serving the community. As we continue to grow, we’ve created the perfect place for you and everyone nearby to shine!
