It’s one of the quickest and most electrifying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves on the planet, the flying armbar. But we have a system of instruction at Paramount BJJ that allows even a beginner to pull it off.
At this past weekend’s Submission-Only event, Paramount BJJ blue belt Adam Carpenter hit TWO flying armbars to take home the Gold. Check out the first of the two:

This weekend US Grappling will be holding their “Submission Only” event right here at the United Sports Training Center- home of Paramount Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The rules are simple- no time limit, no points. Two grapplers will square off and compete until one of them taps out and gives up. It’s a great way to test your Jiu-Jitsu skills, because the essence of BJJ is the submission.
Check out their website for more info on the event, and if you attend don’t forget to swing by Paramount and say hi. Click HERE for more info on our programs and our 30 Day FREE Trial.
This Saturday night former title challenger Jake Shields will square off with heavy handed Jake Ellenberger in the main event of UFC Fight Night 25 on Spike TV. This is sure to be a Mixed Martial Arts extravaganza as both are very capable on the feet and on the ground. Shields does have the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) advantage, but Ellenberger has solid grappling AND big punches. Also fighting on the card are Ultimate Fighter winners Court McGee and Jonathan Brookins.

Yesterday, September 5th, was the 6 year mark for Paramount BJJ. What started out as a 3 class per week program inside a local gym has grown into a full-fledged Mixed Martial Arts academy, with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No Gi Grappling, Boxing, and more for adults and children.
6 years ago we launched the program with about 10 students. As of today we have over 150 active members training and competing in Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Grappling, Muay Thai, and MMA.
Our Children’s Program has exploded. Just 1 year after starting our kids classes we had to divide the class up because of over-crowding. Now we have different age groups and the class size is still 15-20 almost every day!

Most people come to Paramount Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to learn realist self-defense. Every single person needs to be capable of defending themselves, but so many people neglect it.
Often times women are hesitant to join because of the fact that most Jiu-Jitsu students tend to be men. Thankfully at Paramount we have a lot of women training. In fact, in this mornings BJJ Basics class 4 of the 10 students were women!
Despite this, many women are still not learning self-defense. So we decided to create a 4-week Women Only BJJ Self-defense course. The course will consist of 2 evening classes a week for a total of 8 classes and will kick-off on Monday, Sept. 12th.
Registration was set at $157 for the course, however through tomorrow (Thursday, Aug 18th) registration has been dropped to $97- a savings of sixty dollars.

They say that just because an athlete is a great competitor, it doesn’t mean he/she is a great instructor or coach. Thankfully, Bruno Frazatto is both. This past Saturday Bruno, along with Wilson Reis, conducted a 3.5 hour seminar at the Paramount BJJ headquarters in Downingtown PA.
The seminar was 2 parts- Gi and No-Gi (with and without the uniform)- and covered Bruno’s favorite high-precentage techniques and his personal gameplan for the ADCC World Championships, which he will compete in this September having won the Brazilian Trials earlier this year.
In the Gi Bruno detailed his method of guard passing from an open guard. He first addressed the basic pass, then covered the opponent’s most common reactions and the counters to those.
In the No-Gi portion Bruno explained his philosphy of the guard and how to attack from the bottom. He showed several sweeps (reversals) and also how to take the opponents back and finish with a choke.
Overall a fantastic experience for all of the students and with any luck we’ll have Bruno back in the near future. Make sure you click HERE for more info on our 30 Day FREE Trial.
