They always end with some games and will be great for beginners looking to try bjj for the first time, especially younger kids.

Starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu as an adult is pretty intimidating, but my experience at Paragon has…read morebeen awesome and I wish I'd started training much sooner. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and the classes are run in a way that allows people to train seriously but without being too overwhelming to newbies like me. They've created an atmosphere where the training is intense, but everyone checks their ego at the door and both the instructors and students seem interested in helping everyone progress and get better together. If you're interested at all in learning BJJ, do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

That being said, everyone at 805 was welcoming and encouraging so it made my first day an exciting experience. The instructors are friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. You'll have to put in the work but the instructors see that and will help you on anything you're stuck on. Almost five months in, I still feel the excitement that I felt on day one. Highly recommend!

All instructors are very welcoming and meet you at your level then proceed to build you up and they're very good at doing it. I was a student of theirs for approximately 7 months and loved every moment I spent there. It's tough work, but the type of results you get at the end of the day is well worth the effort and if it wasn't for relocating to Louisiana, I would still be a proud student of theirs. These guys are the real deal.

Did a trial here for my kid. He tried out their competition class for teens. Some places won't…read moreallow non-members to try out their competition class as it is by invite only. My kid competes regularly. This location was very accommodating, which I appreciated. Upon arriving, they give you a loaner gi so no need to bring your own. The facility is very nice, split into two large mat areas with giant windows on the end with great views. They told me they just started their comp class so now is the time to join if you are in the area. My kid didn't get serious until his first competition. It kind of sets a goal for them so they don't just go through the motion. Met some nice parents in the process, I would definitely recommend trying them out if you are interested.

The coaches were…read morewelcoming, knowledgeable, and did a great job keeping the kids engaged and having fun while teaching real technique. The energy in the gym was solid as well, family-oriented with a good mix of kids rolling around and learning together. I jumped in for an adult class too, and learned a ton in just one session. High-level instruction without feeling overly intense for a first-timer. Hoping to get back into training here myself and bring my daughter back for more classes soon. No-pressure vibe, definitely recommend checking it out if you're in Simi Valley.

Here are the highlights: - High intensity classes that will challenge you and make you sweat. - Supportive community amongst students and trainers. This is a no judgement zone and the people are there to help you succeed in your fitness goals. - Emphasis on how kickboxing skills can be transferable to self defense skills. - Great results! After participating in the transformation challenge my brother went down 3 BMI! - Personalized training even in a large group setting. I appreciate that the trainers are always checking my technique and pushing me to challenge myself. As a result, I always have a new goal in the gym and a new skill to work on. I'm never bored in class! Shout out to Nikki, Gabby, and their staff for making CKO such a supportive environment. These folks understand that fitness is about building confidence in yourself and your health more than anything else. This is not just a weight loss program, but a community that will support you in changing habits and conquering self doubt. Five stars well deserved!

Wow...all I can say is wow... my kid signed up and within 2 classes the owner was telling me how…read moregreat he was and should join the "Black Belt Club". How in the heck he would know after 2 classes... heaven knows. In the end, what he really meant was prepay (with a small discount) for the next 3 years, in advance and your kid should be ALMOST ready for their black belt. As I got to discover, it is just to pre-pay for 3 years. Nothing more...no great honor... he asks ("invites") any kid / parent that he thinks will say yes. Can't afford it - no problem - just put it on a credit card... can't put it all on a credit card - no problem.... you can break it up into a couple payments... either way... you pay it - even if your kid drops out. He pushes the tournaments and "special camps" to the kids - all of which are a couple hundred dollars - doesn't talk to the parents first. My kid has no idea of the family financing nor family calendar - if we can't attend, I have to break the news to my kid. And the camps - just play dates in the studio - not much for upgrading skills. Great if parents need a place to dump their kid for a few hours. If your kid really learns the skills or not, they will get promoted to the new rank every 3 months. I witnessed many kids not have a good understanding of the forms - but get promoted anyway. Very little discipline - kids come late without consequences, he starts late, ends late, ends early, etc. Where is the discipline? If you want your kid to gain skills and discipline, this ain't the place. The instructor / owner - I have no doubt is skillful and knows his stuff - not sure he can teach it to the age group (6-9 year old kids). Half the time, it looked like the black belts of the studio (some looked as young as 10) were doing more instructing than he was. He seems to be hiding behind the counter looking at his computer. Had to ask - what am I paying for.... All in all... very educational for me on what I don't want in a studio. Not so much for my kids.

I guess he got a black belt in hard sales tactics. *** The always changing prices of the above annual membership: "If you sign up within 7 days, I'll give you a discount." 2 days later: "You MUST sign up by tonight if you want the discount!" I guess he got a black belt in how not to subtract. On the other hand, his wife and daughters were awesome instructors: kind, good at explaining, and never harped for more money. I guess they got black belts in how to run a business.
