From the reviews

I was in town for business and stopped by to see about a drop in class, Professor John was super friendly and invited me right in. I didn’t have my Gi but he was super cool about letting me jump in with shorts and a T.

I dropped in here for open mat while vacationing in Pismo. Really nice facility (lots to eat right next door). Totally nails the chill vibe of Pismo. Very welcoming and friendly. Coach is experienced, knowledgeable and talented. Lots of fun rolls.

Was in town visiting family for Christmas and wanted to practice No-gi BJJ and meet local people (I live in Denmark). Everyone was welcoming and nice to train with, the mats were clean, and the instructors were very attentive. Next Christmas I want to try their GI and Muay Thai classes as well - already excited :D!

★★★★★ — Terese, Dec 2023

I’ve been taking my child there for about a month and he loves it! he was extremely shy at first, quickly warmed up! First class is free which is awesome! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have adult classes as well!

Your first muay thai class at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Arroyo Grande

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
