We started with the Bully Prevention Camp in summer then moved to the regular tots class. Coach Pablo is tough, but he's fair, kind, and incredibly generous with his knowledge. An excellent class and an amazing gym. We recently moved to Nevada and we're trying to find a comparable class. There are all sorts of Jiu Jitsu gyms, but we have yet to find one that fit us as well as Paragon in Ventura. Kudos to the teachers and coaches there.

I'v always known that their Jiu Jitsu academy was one of a kind, but it wasn't until I had to find a new academy that I realized just how amazing it was. Not only does Fabio hire top notch professors and coaches, but he has a receptionist, and guy that comes in and cleans every night. The mats always clean, so it the locker room, the bathrooms, and even the parking lots. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you appreciate a place that respects the art, traditions, structure, and the values of BJJ, this is the place for you. I can't wait to come visit again. Miss you all!

Scott Ross and Matt Dempsey are hands-down some of the best coaches I've met--super attentive, detail-oriented, and they create an incredibly welcoming atmosphere that works perfectly whether you're brand new to jiu-jitsu or a high-level athlete. The energy and instruction were top-notch, making every roll fun and productive. I'm so stoked I found this place--highly recommend 10th Planet Ventura to anyone in the area!

The gym has members at all weights and experience levels but everybody is great at rolling with any belt level in a way that helps everybody improve.

The gym is welcoming to all and I recommend it to anybody who wants to start or continuing grappling/bjj/wrestling.

Environment is super chill and laid back but the rolls are tough. Although there is more no gi classes than gi, there are tons of open mat time for a more self guided approach. A lot of the guys here were wrestlers and play a takedown and top heavy game, which is perfect to work on your guard or get better at takedowns/ defense. My guard retention and leg lock game has leveled up exponentially since coming here. Both Josh and Rex are very knowledgeable and will help you not only progress but also competition ready depending on your goals.

The process of dissolving perceptions of ones own fears, weaknesses, and ego is not always easy. We are human after all and we must carry these natural characteristics with us to the end. These inner struggles aren't relevant to an individual though until they are confronted with them. It is then when the individual must act accordingly. I can say for myself that BJJ has been that mirror and the response for that reflection... I'm grateful this school exists here in Oxnard, and ran by one of the nicest, professional instructors I have met so far Jeremy Espíritu. Apart from personality his skill is razor sharp. His technique is precise, and his teaching extends onto his students. If you are looking for a school to learn BJJ, become apart of a joyful community, and improve your physical and mental well-being this place is for you.

This academy has become a really special place for our family…read more My wife knew Professor Beto many years before I ever stepped onto the mats, and now it has come full circle. I train here, my kids train here, and I've even gotten my cousin to join. What really separates this academy is the culture. The people are top notch. There's no ego or unnecessary tough-guy attitude. Everyone is there to learn, improve, help each other, and build each other up. That means even more to me now that my kids train here. I know they're surrounded by great instructors and good people in a competitive, family-friendly environment. Watching my kids grow on these mats while continuing my own journey has made this place mean a lot to me and my family. Couldn't recommend this academy enough. Great jiu-jitsu, even better people.

I was a member at Gracie Barra Oxnard for about a year. First, I want to say that this review is…read morenot directed at the instructors. They were always kind and did their best. My disappointment is with the organization and how the business is run. One of my biggest concerns was the class size. There were often 20-30 kids in a class, which made it difficult for each child to get enough individual attention. For the amount families are paying, there were many days my child left without really learning or practicing the techniques. If your goal is for your child to build strong fundamentals, I would recommend looking for a gym with smaller class sizes and more one-on-one instruction for a similar or even lower price. Another issue was communication. There was a week when the gym was closed because of a retreat to Hawaii, yet members continued to be charged biweekly without any credit or adjustment. That was frustrating. The cancellation process was the most disappointing part of my experience. When I needed to cancel due to a work schedule conflict, I was told I had to provide a two-month notice. That requirement was never clearly explained when I signed up. I later found out my brother, who attended the same location, was allowed to cancel after paying a $100 fee. Meanwhile, after being a loyal member for a year, I was expected to continue paying nearly $700 for two additional months even though I could no longer attend. I asked to see the section of my agreement that required the two-month notice and also asked why exceptions were made for some members but not others. I never received a response. I even reached out to higher management, but nothing was resolved. I also noticed that the same group of children seemed to be consistently selected for special opportunities and challenges outside of regular class. It feel like not every student was given the same opportunities. Overall, I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication, the cancellation process, and the inconsistent customer service. The gym promotes itself as a family, but when a loyal member experiences a genuine hardship, that support didn't seem to exist. My advice is simple: before signing up, ask detailed questions about cancellation policies, fees, and class sizes so you know exactly what you're committing to.

I had high expectations for UFC Gym, but unfortunately the cleanliness and overall management have…read morebeen very disappointing. The gym is consistently dirty, from the workout floor to the restrooms, sauna, and even the outdoor training area. These spaces should be cleaned and sanitized regularly, especially in a fitness facility where hygiene is so important. What makes the situation even more frustrating is that the cleaning staff are often on their phones instead of maintaining the facility. On multiple occasions, the manager has been locked in the office using a personal phone rather than being visible on the gym floor or addressing the condition of the club. Members pay a premium to work out in a clean, well-maintained environment. UFC Gym has great equipment and potential, but the lack of cleanliness, visible management, and attention to detail has significantly impacted my experience. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves the facility for its members.

My review still stands…read more It's a no frills gym that took over the cable car on Main Street. It's nothing fancy and it's really the people that keep me coming back. All the coaches are the best and each with their own teaching style so you can get a little variety depending on which class you go to. Majority of the coaches are also active boxers and have their own fights throughout the year so you know you're being taught by the best. They also have a separate membership for open gym if you're a step above taking classes. Lyz and Coach Hoss are the best. Lyz not only oversees operations she also teaches yoga on Saturdays! Coach Hoss owns the gym, teaches, and also trains a few professional fighters (even in his old age, he's still going!) The youth classes have also become incredibly popular with more and more youth joining. So parents highly recommend trying it out for your kids. Danny usually runs it and keeps a tight ship with a lot of the kids eventually growing to join the adult classes.

They do not only speak about the qualities of life and the obstacles that you will face. They train you in what it takes to endure mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Many have reached the top levels of boxing and MMA. The thing that I love most about Knuckleheads their coach and the lessons children receive through their nonprofit program. I believe this is exceptional. Do not take my word for it, give them a call, or just pay them a visit. Their doors will always be open for you! Cheers Knuckleheads!

However, I have a small scale gym in my home where I still practice. Thanks again!
