The coaches are wonderful. My advice is to stick with one area. If you want to do wrestling do that. If you want to do JJ, then stick with that. It’s trying to do too much, and it’s hard not to fall into the trap since they are all readily available.

I recently signed up both of my kids for memberships at Paradigm Combat Sports, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for their athletic development. They train in wrestling and boxing, two demanding disciplines that require excellent coaching, and Paradigm delivers in every way. The training here is easily among the best in the city professional, structured, and genuinely results-oriented. From day one, the coaches have impressed me with their expertise, patience, and ability to connect with young athletes. They focus not just on technique but on building discipline, confidence, and mental toughness. My children have shown remarkable improvement in their skills, coordination, and overall fitness in a short time. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and creates a positive, motivating environment where kids feel challenged yet supported. What stands out most is how the program balances intensity with safety and fun. Both kids look forward to every session and have made new friends while pushing their limits. The staff is attentive and truly cares about each athlete’s progress. If you’re looking for top-tier combat sports training for your children, Paradigm Combat Sports is the place. Highly recommend worth every penny!

Paradigm is a truly top notch facility for all types of combat sports training. I can speak most directly to the jiu jitsu group, and it is a really outstanding program. Coach Marcus Bello is an excellent instructor who really cares about getting the most out of everyone training there. Coach Pedro is also a real professional and an incredible teacher. You will definitely make progress in your jiu jitsu under their guidance. The ownership, Reed and Abi and the entire staff have created a friendly and welcoming environment for everyone. The brand new facility also has a full on weight room, sauna, cold plunge, and showers- all in great shape and super convenient to have right there. Highly recommend!!

Steven, thank you so much for the wonderful review and for recommending Paradigm. We're thrilled to hear Coach Marcus and Coach Pedro are helping you progress in jiu jitsu and that you enjoy the welcoming atmosphere Reed, Abi and our staff have created. It’s great to know the new facility, weight room, sauna, cold plunge and showers are meeting your needs. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at training.
