From the reviews
Perfect and welcoming environment for all experience levels. Training here since it opened a little over four weeks ago has been one of the best decisions of my life. All of the teachers have been very patient.
I’ve been training at Paragon-Camarillo since June 2025. After not practicing martial arts since adolescence, I decided BJJ felt like the most practical and rewarding discipline. My younger brother and a close friend trained here before me, and their encouragement inspired me to take the leap.
I can't say enough good things about Paragon BJJ in Camarillo. As a professional, my days are often a whirlwind of deadlines, meetings, and emails. By the time I get to the mat, I'm ready to leave all that behind. And that's exactly what I'm able to do here. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and supportive.
Great gym with a very family-friendly atmosphere. The instruction is detailed but easy to follow, which makes a big difference for both kids and adults. The kids’ classes focus on strong fundamentals and build up to more advanced techniques over time.
New to BJJ? Start at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu of Camarillo
Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu of Camarillo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu of Camarillo
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.
