From the reviews

I love this place, I have been training here for the last 6 years. Coach Cassie and Professor Jose are amazing people, always willing to help you out if you are willing to put your part, with that said I managed to loose 40 pnds within 6 months.

★★★★★ — Emmanuel, Jan 2023

If you are considering Jiu Jitsu this is the place! I love the fact it has a 6am class. I work a weird schedule so I can get my training in early in the morning. Professor Jose Andrade has a wealth of knowledge in both bjj and judo. The classes are very affordable compared to other places.

★★★★★ — Jesse, Aug 2017

Well me personally Im not in the class but i have both of my boys and they love it they get excited to go to class my son damion he didn't want to go but after a while he got more into it and today i found out his doing good im happy to here that the instructors r doing a good job with my boys keep up the good work.

★★★★★ — Daniel, Apr 2017

Brand new to BJJ and hsd my first class yesterday and wow! The training is intense but never to the point of not being fun. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful and made me feel part of the family as soon as I stepped on the mat. Everyone is very helpful and will push you to new standards!

New to kickboxing? Start at Carlson Gracie Paramount - Mixed Martial Arts

Carlson Gracie Paramount - Mixed Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at Carlson Gracie Paramount - Mixed Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
