Amazing place to drop in, lovely rolls, absolutely recommend!
Great kids class, both of our kids train here. Our oldest for 5 years and our youngest 2 years
I love this Academy. I moved to Austin and was really nervous about finding a Jiu-Jitsu school, but knew immediately after my first class that this was the place. Everyone was so welcoming and there are tons of other women to train with. I recommend it to anyone interested in starting Jiu-Jitsu. Coach Corey is awesome and very detail oriented.
I highly recommend training at Paragon Jiu Jitsu, Coley the blackbelt instructor was super friendly & helpful, everyone was welcoming & they have terrific facilities. I will definitely drop in on my next visit to Austin.
I dropped in for a class at Paragon BJJ while in town for work- the staff were incredibly kind and professional when I emailed to ask about stopping by and when I first arrived. The class was full of very high-level students who welcomed me to train and spar with them throughout the evening. Paragon will continue to be my Jiu-jitsu stop when I'm in Austin
In town from SoCal. Very welcoming gym with tough rolls. Top notch operation here. Thanks again for the hospitality. 🙌🏻
I traveled to Austin for work and wanted to drop in to Paragon for a class. I emailed them, and Laura was very pleasant and gave me all their class info. They have clean loaner gis too, which is a huge plus! The Monday evening class was pretty big with a good variety of both men and women of all belt colors. All the students were extremely nice and welcoming. All in all a very clean and safe training environment. Slight downside is that there was no AC (just a bunch of fans) in like 98 degree weather in the summer... I was not used to that Texas heat! I would love to drop by again if work takes me back to Austin again.
Some friends and I visited here from our home gym. The facility was spotless. I had the privilege of training with very experienced practitioners and left with several valuable lessons for my game. Paragon is world-class. I look forward to visiting again in the future.
I am here visiting with my family from Hawaii. I saw this gym was near by where we are staying. Went to the 12pm class, it was a great experience. Everyone was super cool and welcoming. Beautiful gym. If you’re visiting Austin and looking to train I highly recommend paragon jiujitsu. Mahalo guys!
I recently visited Paragon while on a brief trip to Austin. I was impressed with the quality of instruction and highly technical students. The facility is clean and spacious. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for high-quality instruction and technical training partners.
Great place to train! My husband and I visited this gym and felt very welcomed. People are very friendly. The instruction is very thorough. Whether you are looking for a gym to train or visit, I’d highly recommend them. We’ll be back 😀
High level instruction with super friendly people. If I lived in Austin they would be my home base.
Train here. People here are humble, there's no pressure. I've rolled at places where it's all ego, that's not the vibe here at all. They want you to get better and that's it.
Jiu-jitsu's the best, I am a grey and black belt I have been going there for 5 years and have no problems, it's the best! 🙂
My daughters has a great time here when we visited Austin.
I visited Paragon while in town for business and they couldn't be more welcoming. Everyone was there to learn and have a great time doing it. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in Austin!
I'm traveling to Austin for work from Miami and needed a place to train Jiu-Jitsu. Awesome coaching from Coach Jose, awesome people, and a great facility! I can't say enough good things about my experience. Fun environment and friendly atmosphere. Whenever I'm back in the Austin for work I'll train at Paragon. Highly recommended!
I’m from out of town and was generously allowed to drop in for a class. The atmosphere fostered at this gym is both welcoming and instructional. Everyone was kind and respectful - additionally the facilities were well kept, with plenty of space to move. The instructors were happy to answer any individual questions. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone within the Austin area.
Dropped in for a class while in Austin, and it was amazing. Great instruction and lots of friendly people. Very welcoming. Rolled with a blue, a purple, and a black, and they were all great partners. Highly recommend. My drop in fee was waived in exchange for my honest review.
Very welcoming atmosphere. Laura was helpful so it was easy to drop in
This gym is a very woman friendly gym! I have trained at a couple of other gyms in Austin and this gym, by far, has treated me with the most respect. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and high level practitioners. There are probably 20-30 women who train here, several whom are brown and black belts. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to train.
Awesome place to train! Everyone is friendly and welcoming.
Jeremy was very welcoming and helpful. The entire gym was also very talented and tough. I would definitely recommend Paragon to others and would enjoy going back in the future. 😁
I visited this game while traveling from out of town. It had a great atmosphere, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The quality of instruction was top notch. Very detailed and concise info. The quality they put into their gym shows in their members. I would recommend this gym to anyone!
What can I say except that it's the perfect place for "physical therapy" in the form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
This gym is amazing! So nice! Great vibe! Instruction is great, fantastic mix of higher belts and lower belts. We were visiting from Canada and this was my favourite gym in Austin that we visited. 10/10! Will be coming back here when we come back to Austin! 🤩🤩🤩
I dropped in for a couple of classes while I was out of town. Everyone was incredibly friendly. The rolls were tough but not overly aggressive, and after each roll, each person was supportive. I’s be happy to stop by if I’m in town in the future.
Very welcoming establishment the staff was amazing and helpful the noon class was great the teaching was top notch and very detailed and helpful, the members of the academy were very welcoming and made me feel accepted. 🤙
Had an amazing experience! I visited from out of town and attended a class with Prof. Jose and Prof. Laura, amazing atmosphere, super friendly people and great instruction! If you’re thinking of signing up or dropping in, I can’t recommend paragon enough!
I'm Impressed! Good core set of training partners and lots of ppl passing through like myself. High level instruction. Intense yet safe rolling
Amazing crew and great instruction -- Instructors where super friendly and knowledgable Would highly recommend if you are looking for a gym to join
Dropped by here to train while at a conference in Austin and I could not have been more impressed. Multiple people - staff and students - introduced themselves and made me feel super welcome. Excellent instruction and great rolls. Highly recommend Paragon!
Best academy in South Austin. From instructors and their quality of lessons to team members and the gym culture, this is a special place which I cannot recommend enough regardless of background, gender, or experience and goals in the sport.
Been meaning to give my review. Dropped in on one of Prof Jose's classes in 2018. He gave an excellent lesson, and him, and all of the students were very welcoming. The students there all gave me tough (in a good way) and technical rolls. I was very impressed, as I was a young blue belt still in my 20s, coming from a comp school. Would love to come back next time I visit Austin.
I dropped in while on a business trip. Laura was very welcoming on the phone and at the front desk. Jose was very helpful and welcoming as well. What I really appreciated was the vibe. As a white belt, I had a couple purple belt students offer to drill with me. They were most helpful and patient, even teaching me some nuances that I would have otherwise missed. The gym is clean and the class was well attended. I will definitely be back and definitely recommend Paragon Austin.
Dropped in for a class while traveling. Would recommend!
Great Jiu Jitsu academy. Good instructors, good vibes from the other members. It's a good mix of hobbyists and competitors. It seems more weighted towards training in the gi, but they do offer no-gi classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and communicate the details of techniques well. There is a strong focus on drilling and positions/systems are taught sequentially over a few classes. The academy doesn't have the cult-ish vibes of some other schools, they allow you to train in whatever gi you want and they promote cross-training at other schools. Their open mats on Friday night are well attended and fun.
Came in town for a comp and was able to get some really great training in everyone was super cool and very hospitable 🤙🏼
Bill was a great coach, great coach, learn some solid turtle to back take transitions. Would recommend!
Visiting family from out of town and stopped in with my cousin to introduce him to Ju Jitsu. The instructors and students were very welcoming and helpful for us beginner level students. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to learn and challenge themselves.
Came from out of town and glad I decided to come train here! Very tight knit feel and every was incredibly welcoming. Professor Jose is very detailed. Felt like home away from home and would definitely come back anytime I’m in Austin!
Big fan of Paragon after visiting this weekend. Very welcoming and lots of talented individuals! I’m glad I came.
Traveling through the area, walked in and was immediately greeted even through the chaos of the kids class was still ensuing. The class was very well run, everyone was kind and accommodating and even invited us in for another class! 10/10 Recommend.
Stopped in while visiting Austin. Great instruction, friendly people, super clean and great facility. Will be back for sure!
I was visiting Austin for work and dropped in for a gi class. Had a great time there. The gym is very clean and spacious. Friendly atmosphere, courteous professor and students. Loved how the professor let us drill the technique a lot. I find it extremely important. I'm glad I went and trained there. Thank you so much!!
Great place! Great Hospitality! Love the vibe and people! One of the Cleanest gyms I’ve been to in Texas! Would definitely go back!
I was in town for work and was lucky enough to find Paragon to get some training in. The technique was on point, the people were welcoming and great training partners, and the facility was super clean. I appreciate the hospitality and would recommend this place to anyone looking to learn from some high-level Professors in a quality atmosphere. Thank you for welcoming me. I was in town again for work (Fall 2022) and dropped in at Paragon for some training. As before, it was a great experience and the people are top notch. Thanks for being such a welcoming place, I greatly appreciate it.
I practice BJJ in Michigan and did a drop in at Paragon/Austin. Super clean, really welcoming/friendly, good instruction/drilling and nice atmospheric and at the end of class we did timed rounds. Really fun. I cannot wait to return!
If your in Austin or visiting you need to visit Paragon! Really high level Jiujitsu and more important than that the people are super friendly and willing to help!
Was traveling for work. Visited Paragon on a recommendation. Great instruction. Great people. Nice facilities. Looking forward to coming back on my next trip!
Great instruction, welcoming and good people to train with. Definitely recommend while in Austin!
Visiting from out of town and had a really great experience. Super welcoming and really great classes. Would absolutely recommend
I was able to drop in for a couple classes while I was in town for a few days visiting family and had a blast. The skill level here is clearly high, had a lot of fun tough rolls and picked up a few techniques from the upper belts. Cannot recommend this place enough to anyone thinking about trying a class.
I have competed against Paragon gym members at AGF Tournaments on multiple occasions and found their members excellent fighters and very humble. Whenever I am in Austin for work I pack my gi and visit Paragon to gain a little knowledge and get some fun rounds in. -Whether you are advanced or a beginner this gym has something to offer you.
A++ BJJ gym with an emphasis on technique in a super friendly, inviting environment.
I alway try to visit local BJJ academies when I travel. Being a higher rank this can sometimes be an issue as some people want to test the new guy. That was not my experience at all at Paragon. They had great communication when I reached out about visiting and everyone there was welcoming and respectful. I had some really tough rolls with their guys and learned several details I will definitely use from the instructor. If you are looking for a traditional BJJ academy that is welcoming, professional and clean, this is the place for you!
I bought my house sight unseen before moving to Texas because of this gym. I knew it was where I wanted to train, so I wanted to live nearby. I can't say enough about Jose's instruction, or about Laura's customer service. It is a supportive place to train BJJ, no-gi grappling, and wrestling. It is a very woman-friendly gym.
The best bjj gym in austin by far, definitely recommend!!
I came to visit this gym last spring and had an awesome time. The students there are friendly, and the rolls are tough. The coaches seem dedicated to the students and I can see why! I definitely look forward to going back there once the pandemic is over!!
Best of the best
Great atmosphere with high level jiu jitsu!
Awesome coaches and team. Super cool people with world class technique. Oss!
Great school. Great people. Great Jiu Jitsu. Lots of awesome students. Oss!
Came to Austin on business and my instructor pointed me to this Paragon Jiu Jitsu. The class was full of upper belts and it was very tough training. Everyone was very welcoming and I felt like I was in my own gym. After the class several guys stayed and we cleaned up some positions. It was great experience, I will do it every time I am in Austin. Special thanks to Jason V.
Friendly, welcoming gym with good instruction. Really enjoyed my visit there and hope to return soon.
Dropped in for the 6:30am class from out of town and I’d definitely recommend Paragon for anyone in Austin. Very technical and super fun rolls!
Came to Austin for work and tried Paragon BJJ out so I wouldn't be rusty when I get back home. Everyone was super friendly. The type of atmosphere you want to feel when you walk into a BJJ academy. Lots of mat space and a wide range of tough training partners. If I'm ever down there again I'll be going back.
Visited during a business trip for training at 6:30am class. Super friendly group with a good number of students (maybe 16?) considering the early start time. Showers available. I'd recommend contacting them via social media (I DM'd via Instagram) if you want to drop in for a class.
I train at Alliance in Atlanta and was In Austin for business. Dropped by Paragon for the advanced class. Very welcoming environment and great detailed instructor. There were also a lot of tough guys in the class. I highly recommend Paragon Austin and will be back next time I am in town.
Great place to train. Good team, friendly people, quality instruction. I'll be back, next time I'm in Austin.
Dropped by Paragon while in town for the weekend. Great training and instruction for all levels, very friendly gym, and got to roll with some killers. If I ever come back to Austin, I'm coming here to train, no question about it.
Great experience for an out- of-town visitor. Jose was excellent and welcoming, as were the other students in class, with nearly all of them approaching me and introducing themselves. The 6:30a all levels gi class was well-represented with great teaching and great rolls. Outstanding experience. I will be back.
Here In Austin TX....going to paragon Academy!! again.. great people..tought Fight!!!..I love it!!! I recommend this school to anyone who want to start learning sweet. Jiu jitsu!!!..
Great dojo to train in you are traveling through Austin Tx...
I had the amazing opportunity to train her on Wednesday of last week! I took the "All Levels" jiujitsu class which was taught by Jose. The instruction was awesome and the class itself was amazing! I learned so much and everyone was so welcoming! Laura made me feel right at home while she checked me into class. I am only a white belt, so my training is quite limited. I felt that I was part of the family when dropping in from out of town. If you are looking for a place to train while in Austin, check these guys out! Or if you are just trying to see if jiujitsu is for you, I highly recommend that you go and work with the team! Thank you again for having me!
Dropped in while in town for a conference. I really appreciated the instruction, great rolls, but most of all (especially for a drop in visitor) the warm welcome. Will definitely come back when I’m in Austin. Highly recommend Paragon!
I highly recommend Paragon Jiu-Jitsu! I stopped in for training while traveling for work, and they were extremely welcoming. I hope I’m lucky enough to pass through here later on this fall and stop by again. They are top notch - very encouraging, friendly, with great expertise!
Dropped in to train while in town for business. Super friendly people, and great facility. Solid drills, explaining not just what to do but why it’s important. Great rolls with skills ranging from beginners to killers.
Tonight was my second time popping into Paragon to train and my experience both times have been exceptional. The gym is top notch and everyone I have met training here has been very welcoming. The attention to detail from the coaches while drilling for me being a white belt and new to the Jiu Jitsu game is very much needed! I travel between Fort Worth where my home gym is and Austin for work! I look forward to the next time I am in town to pop in to get some good conditioning and rounds in. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
We were in town for a weekend getaway after a job interview, so we decided to drop in to train away all the BBQ we had. So grateful to have such a warm welcome from Jeremy and Laura (even though we were late)! The fundamental class had a huge variety of experienced people from different levels. The atmosphere was relaxed and humble, making it easy to jump right in. There were only a few unisex bathrooms so be prepared with your gi bc there can get to be a bottleneck before and after class when you need to change. Hope to come back to train again next time we're in town!
I’m honored to be the 100th review. I cannot say enough nice things about this academy. I thought I’d check out every studio in town but the environment was so welcoming I just wanted to focus that attention on training instead. But more important than being friendly, the instructors took me seriously as a student. As a woman right now in the sport you’re gonna be outnumbered (maybe that’ll some day change), but having Laura working there was relaxing and inspiring. It was just luck that I started training here and after a week or so I went to a tournament and my fellow students dominated. The community here is focused on collective success, they enjoy seeing each other achieve just as much as themselves. Very cool to see and it enriched my time in Austin.
Visiting Austin from NYC and was looking for a jiu jitsu school to visit. Found Paragon and stopped by for an afternoon class. Great bunch of people there, solid teaching and rolls, and spacious, clean facility. Very welcoming and will be back next time I'm in Austin. Highly recommended!
It is an extremely clean welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was helpful and the coaches were excellent. I would recommend this to anyone beginner or seasoned athlete.
Great welcoming team and some good training.
I did a drop in on one of the fundmentals classes with these guys. The team is incredibly welcoming and the gym had a friendly atmosphere. The technique was spot on. Guard passing even at the white belt level was amazing. If you are in Austin and need a place to roll, this is the spot!
I was in town visiting a friend who is a member at Paragon and went with him for a training. I was very impressed with the quality of instruction and members at Paragon Austin. Everyone was super inviting from the moment I walked in and great to train with. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone traveling through the area or if you looking to get into Jiu Jitsu this place is great for you. You will learn a lot in a comfortable environment with great training partners!
Definitely will visit again 🔥🔥👍 Technic was flawless with an amazing coaches, love the atmosphere everyone was helpful.i definitely recommend to stop by and check them out.
