What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brandon Sowder
"Wow!!! I was in town visiting a friend and had the opportunity to train at Paragon three times. The highlight was watching a class with promotions. The culture was on full display. Those in attendance were more fired up for their friends that were actually getting belts and promotions. Great people, great rolls, and I look forward to getting back the next time I’m in town. Thank you!!!"
Sammy Goldman
"Great gym with great vibes, everyone was super welcoming to me as a visitor and gave me good rolls. Highly recommend dropping by if you’re in town!"
Mason Montgomery
"Wonderful Gym. I started my BJJ experience here nearly 6 years ago while going to school at Cal Poly SLO and have continued ever since. I moved to the bay area where I continued training jiu jitsu a few months after starting in SLO and have carried the fundamentals established at Paragon with my me along the way. I recently visited the area and rolled at the Sunday open mat in SLO. I was welcomed with open arms and the strong community experience I remember when I began training jiu jitsu."
Anzel Griffith
"The staff were super friendly and welcoming made me feel right at home. The academy has a lot of mat space and it’s a very clean environment. Will definitely be visiting again."
