From the reviews
I was in town for business and stopped by to see about a drop in class, Professor John was super friendly and invited me right in. I didn’t have my Gi but he was super cool about letting me jump in with shorts and a T.
I dropped in here for open mat while vacationing in Pismo. Really nice facility (lots to eat right next door). Totally nails the chill vibe of Pismo. Very welcoming and friendly. Coach is experienced, knowledgeable and talented. Lots of fun rolls.

I’ve been taking my child there for about a month and he loves it! he was extremely shy at first, quickly warmed up! First class is free which is awesome! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have adult classes as well!
Your first BJJ class at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Arroyo Grande
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
