Paragon Goleta Academy | Jiu Jitsu | Boxing | Kickboxing

Paragon Goleta Academy brings together years of martial arts experience under the guidance of instructors who have dedicated themselves to teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA in the Santa Barbara area. The academy’s approach is shaped by coaches who have spent much of their lives on the mats and in the ring, emphasizing practical skill development and steady progression for students of all backgrounds. Classes at Paragon Goleta reflect a structured path for both new and experienced practitioners. Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is offered in gi and no-gi formats, with fundamentals, advanced instruction, and live sparring all available throughout the week. There is also a dedicated no-gi session open to visitors from any gym, encouraging cross-training and broader learning. For those interested in striking, the schedule includes kickboxing, boxing—including a Rock Steady Boxing program—and mixed martial arts, allowing students to round out their training or focus on a single discipline. Youth programs cover kids’ and teens’ Jiu-Jitsu, split by age groups (4–7 and 8–12), as well as kids’ boxing and no-gi grappling, giving younger athletes a solid start in both grappling and striking arts. The facility is wheelchair accessible and drop-ins are welcome for most classes, making it easy for locals and travelers alike to get on the mats. The academy’s daily routine reflects a commitment to practical instruction and lifelong learning in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts.
