Paragon Jiu-Jitsu Academy Austin

Incredible room with, not only tough training partners but smiles all around once training is over. I really felt like this group of practitioners wanted to be there, to learn, and to push themselves. The instructional portion was very informative and palatable as well. 10/10 recommend if you live in the Austin area.

I had a friend recommend this academy to me. This academy is a great academy if you like me are fairly new to the world of BJJ. The technique and instruction time is great, and the coaches walk around while drilling to make sure we really understand. Extended live rounds at the end of each class mean not only a good workout but lots of time putting into practice your overall game plan, both from a self defense and a sport Jiu Jitsu perspective. Lastly, the higher belts are all super friendly. Granted, as a beginner, you'll still get smashed (there's no avoiding that really), but their goal is not to punish. They let you work in the various positions you find yourself in, and rolling with the black belts led to some bonus instruction and feedback directly relevant to my "style". Overall I would recommend this academy to anyone in the Austin area.

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.

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 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.

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

Good mixture of belts. These guys roll with just fans and no A/C in the Texas Summer. Pretty tough crowd.
