Nice Facilities, Nice Coaching. Bad Business. I'm a former Division 1 Wrestler so I've seen the best of the best facilities. Would give them a five but, they are just trying to lock you in a contract and never hear from you again. This is all Fine if you're a casual practitioner, but they wont accommodate new talent. I won 3 tournaments straight; both Gi and No Gi I have about 20 wins as a white belt without a single stripe promotion from them. I hate to feel like they wasted my time after representing this team. They just didn't think to promote me, While less skilled people who didn't compete at all soar to new heights. The goal is to see if martial arts and curriculum is applicable in high stress environments. I demonstrated this and was treated differently than everyone else. I Work 50+ hours a week full time and still found time for competition. That is not good business that makes me want to come back, But it is the truth. read more

See all

Excellent for kids learning to control body and emotions. Teaches meaningful real life Defense skills.

I had the pleasure of training at Paramount BJJ while working a month contract in the area. Everyone was extremely friendly, and I felt welcome. The instruction was top notch! Applicable techniques with the right amount of explanation! Every class had a drilling part that I found allowed enough time to work the technique long enough to feel comfortable implementing it while rolling that same night. Paramount has a lot of people to roll with, especially on a Monday night! They have knowledgeable belts with various styles from white to black, and a bunch of females rolling as well. Every night I would leave exhausted, thinking about something new to work on next class, and a big smile on my face! What more could you want? The facility has a big mat space, a garage door for the nice nights, and clean bathrooms/locker rooms. If I lived in the area I would definitely train at Paramount BJJ and recommend anyone new or experienced drop in and try a class. read more

I tried to get information about this seemingly will regarded training center. However the owners have setup a system much like that of time share or vacation ownership sales. A simple request for monthly pricing or details cannot be given without a one on one consultation. So if you want a training center focused on money and questionable sales tactics. .. Look no further. read more

Paramount is by far the best place to train BJJ in the area. My kids have trained here for about 4 years and I started around 3.5 years ago.

If you are anywhere near Paramount and thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or Boxing this is the place to go. Great family atmosphere and class size allows for everyone to train comfortably no matter gender or size. read more

My family has been training here for years. When selecting a school the main factor for us was the quality of the staff. With so many other choices out there, I from day one, was sold on the professionalism of the staff. They work so hard to help each and every person reach whatever their personal goals are. All of the classes offered at Paramount are taught by people at the top of their specific disciplines and all have competed at the highest levels. The kids programs do a great job of teaching self-defense, in a way that kids will understand. Having 3 boys in the program, I never once had an issue with any of them "practicing" on each other. The staff goes above and beyond teaching hands on, while keeping everything safe. When I signed up, I was looking for something to help lose a few pounds and have fun doing so. I never would have imagined the life changing benefits that Paramount has brought to me. I have traveled the country doing Jiu Jitsu, competing and having success at a national level, and have loved every second. All this was made possible through this school, and I have personally recommended this place to so many of my friends and family. read more

Great people. Great instruction. Great environment to learn. Super clean facility with more than enough mat space to roll. Have been here a few times to train while being in the area visiting family. Everyone at Paramount has been more than welcoming every time. Will continue to come back each time I'm in town. My home academy is in southern CA, so I see a lot of different places that teach BJJ. This place has a legit instructor in Professor Brad and some great people of all levels to have you enjoy your BJJ experience. read more

I've trained in several other disciplines with many other instructors - the school owner of Paramount is a Lloyd Irvin Black Belt - Brad Court. Brad runs a top notch school, very professional, multi-dimensional - and he is an excellent teacher to boot. The school offers multiple programs - one aspect I think they do better than any other program is that regardless of age, skill level, athletic ability, etc - Brad and the team make you feel welcome from day one and you always feel like each class was tailored just to you - even though there is wealth of different skill levels and different class skill levels (as well as other programs such as boxing, muay thai). As a 40-something with two kids at home I know I am getting more than my moneys worth at Paramount. There are classes 6 days a week - as early as 730 am and as late as 830 pm. You really aren't going to find that elsewhere. Lastly - new students are welcomed openly and warmly - I felt that from day one and it sold me instantly. Check them out! read more
