My kids are very competitive and all we hoped for was the kids to get in some good rolls and learn a technique or two. Decided to hit up local gyms near our hotel location and found Paragon Atascadero, a city we never even heard of. We set everything up through text message with a lady named Mallory and just like that the appointment was set. The gym is located inside a fitness gym which is pretty unique to us. Once we walked in, the lady in the front desk welcome us with open arms. Professor Chris was so welcoming, it was like we already knew each other. I can tell this man loves the art of Jiu Jitsu and the further development of it, in this area. We were the only Asian family in there but everybody that spoke to us was so welcoming and friendly. It was a small town but the people had giant hearts. This is all based off one visit and we got exactly what we were looking for. There is tons of potential for this place to grow. The mat space is huge, it's clean and the professor and coaches seemed very caring. My kids are grey belts, competed in many tournaments and won lots of medals. We been to many gyms to cross train all over Southern California and based off my own assessment, this gym is a must join if you live in the area. Highly recommended.

There is no doubt that they have cultivated the most competitive, family friendly jiu-jitsu school in the county. They really cater to everyone, whether you're brand new or a high level competitor. The new facility itself is top notch! Super clean, well-maintained, and equipped with what I would say is the nicest grappling mat in the county (Foam subfloor with brand new dollamurmats!) Safety is a top priority, with strict protocols in place to ensure the well-being of all participants. Additionally, they offer a variety of class options to accommodate different schedules and interests, allowing each family member to find their perfect fit. My kids and I couldn't be happier to be training here at Virtus! I know they're technically a new school, but they are a team that has been through the crucible and have come out stronger than ever!

The owner, Chris, was super friendly over the phone before I set foot in the building and set up my free trial. Since I began training at this facility over the past few weeks, I've had nothing but great experiences. Upon meeting the various members of the team over the course of a few sessions, I've seen and felt firsthand an entirely new jiu jitsu experience. The team was not only welcoming, but several members with colored belts from blue to black went above and beyond to help me with great attention to detail and I began to see what I needed to see in myself during drills, positional training, and sparring.
