When it comes to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brad Court defines the word. He is a technician in the ‘finest’ sense. I personally love watching Brad train because he just flows from one position to the next with ease. What makes him even more outstanding is that he can transition that skill on the mat and pass it to other people with the same great ease. Anyone that has a chance to train under the tutelage of Brad Court will have a rare opportunity to train under someone that can not only take you to the highest level, but also to train with someone who truly cares about your progression.

When I promoted Brad to the rank of Black Belt, it was an honor because he shares the same deep rooted passion for BJJ that I hold and shares the same passion for teaching that I do. When you begin training with Brad you’ll be training and be a part of a World Class Team which is more of a family. Once again I couldn’t recommend Brad Court enough. There isn’t a better instructor teaching anywhere near Brad and I can guarantee that there isn’t a better Team.

Discover Why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Is Considered

The Ultimate Martial Art



95% of all self-defense situations end up on the ground or in the grappling range YET grappling emains the most neglected form of self-defense in most martial art systems.

If you can't defend yourself on the ground then you DON'T know how to truly defend yourself. That's here we come in.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a complete training system that will teach you how to apply angles, positioning and everage to control an opponent's movement. A person that has a superior position is in a better  situation to apply their weight and end the conflict effectively. This style allows a smaller person to immobilize and defeat a stronger larger attacker.

There IS a reason that all Professional Mixed Martial Artists have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
IT IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR SELF-DEFENSE AND FIGHTING!

Check out what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Paramount Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...

 

"Since I started training at Paramount BJJ, I've lost about 35 pounds..."

I had always heard great things about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including that it is arguably the most effective martial art out there, and that it's a great challenge and a lot of fun. When I went to my first class at Paramount BJJ, I didn't know what to expect. However, I was thrilled to find a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I also quickly found that everything I had heard about BJJ was true. It's a great workout and a lot of fun, and I'm learning skills that will be invaluable to me in a real life situation. Since I started training at Paramount BJJ, I've lost about 35 pounds, and still going. I've become a more well-rounded athlete, and I've gained a lot of self-confidence in the process. All of this while meeting new people and great instruction. It's an experience unlike any other.

"Since adding BJJ to my training I have increased my stamina, gained self-confidence, sleep better, and have found a camaraderie that I've not found with any other sport."

"After only training with weights for years, a friend of mine suggested that I try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for something different and fun. I tried an introductory class and was immediately hooked! I am now in my 9th month of training and I continue to be challenged both physically and mentally with each class. As a 5'4" and 105 lbs female I am often the smallest person in class, but I never feel isolated. My teammates treat me as an equal, and work with me to improve my skill. Since adding BJJ to my training I have increased my stamina, gained self confidence, sleep better, and have found a camaraderie that I've not found with any other sport. I can't imagine not training!"

"Brad has made Jiu-Jitsu fun for me again, and I look forward to each class knowing I'm going to walk away a little better than I was the day before"

"I started taking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in June of 2001 at a different school, and after a few months the program started to get boring. A friend of mine was training at another school, and then I signed up and started training there. Again after a few months it started to become less interesting as time went on. After about a year, I moved and went back to school and didn't do any formal training for about 2 years. Another friend of mine knew Brad and said he was a great instructor, and that I should go check him out. I did and there's no turning back.

Brad has made Jiu-Jitsu fun for me again, and I look forward to each class knowing I'm going to walk away a little better than I was the day before. Also, when I started training with Brad I weighted about 210 pounds, and have lost about 25. I didn't start taking Jiu-Jitsu to lose the weight, it's just a result of the great training we have at Paramount BJJ."

You see in 2004 more than 10,000 competitors participated in Nationwide RATED events. Nearly 150 coaches and Teams worked hard all year competing in Rated events, trying to earn individual and Team honors. In 2004, 2006 and 2007, the team that was crowned the Rated World Champions was Team Lloyd Irvin.

We are the ONLY team in the Mid-Atlantic that has achieved the "Triple-Crown" of Combat Athletics - Our students compete and WIN in all the major events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship to the Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling tournament to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Pan-American Championships.

At Paramount BJJ we provide a fun, safe and exciting environment that makes consistency not seem like a chore all the while getting you into the best shape of your life!

But that's not all.

 

We have created The Ultimate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Program for the Pure Beginner!


Most Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools just throw beginner students to the wolves the first week they have started training. Your orientation to Jiu Jitsu is sometimes getting your butt kicked by the more advanced students. You better be in shape before you attend most schools or else you're going to be in for a rough night!

On top of that, one dirty little secret that no one at these schools tells you is that you're going to learn whatever the instructor feels like teaching on that particular day. In all forms of education, educators have very detailed finely-tuned curriculums to guarantee that a student learns the required material.

Could you imagine a college professor teaching whatever popped into his mind that day? Unfortunately, this is the way most Jiu Jitsu academies operate.

Fortunately for you, I have the solution and it's one of the reasons our students are so happy.
We have developed a Core Curriculum for our BJJ Basics classes. These sessions are taught in a friendly, social, and laid-back atmosphere that is 100% geared to teaching our new students our core basic requirements at our school.

 

A Typical BJJ Basics Class

fundclass1

 

I've set up The BJJ Basics classes like this for a couple of reasons.

1I know for a fact that there are students that just want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as an art form and don't want to get involved in any sparring of any sort.

2Many people begin training out-of-shape and they wouldn't be able to complete a full blown competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.

3In the very beginning, I firmly believe that students need to focus heavily on learning their technique instead of trying to learn how to survive in heated sparring matches.

I've set up our Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling programs into different levels so that our students can progress at a comfortable and efficient rate. Of course we have our advanced and competition classes that are extremely demanding and competitive. This is for the students that are interested in taking it to this level.

fundclass2

Then we have our "BJJ BASICS" classes for the new student just starting out, for the student that is really out of shape, for the student not interested in sparring or competitions, and the new student that will appreciate being able to learn Jiu Jitsu in a non competitive environment.

 

"Brad has dedicated his life to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not just as one of the best competitors in the world (which he is), but as a great teacher as well. "

"I have known Brad Court for about 10 years now, and we have gone through all of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu belts together. Brad and I have spent countless hours on the mat together training and pushing each other to and over the limit. Brad has dedicated his life to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not just as one of the best competitors in the world (which he is), but as a great teacher as well. Brad has been victorious in every belt, white through black, and now he is passing on that same work ethic and dedication to his students at Paramount BJJ.

Brad and I still curently train every week, and I can honsestly say he is one of the BEST training partners and teammates I have ever had! Paramount BJJ is a MUST for ANYBODY who wants to learn and experience BJJ done and taught the proper way."

A Word of Advice

As I stated just a bit earlier, if you're new to Jiu-Jitsu I must warn you of a few things- You should know that not all schools are created equal and it is very important that you make an educated decision before choosing a school.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the UFC and other Mixed Martial Arts events, everyone and their brother is re-labeling their schools as "MMA" or "Grappling" schools. An alarming number of these schools dress their academy up with shiny new mats and a fancy cage or ring to hide behind the fact that their Instructors are inexperienced or even worse unqualified.

As an experiment, go into last year's phone book and see how many Karate schools are now calling themselves "Mixed Martial Arts" schools. My point is: you have to be selective when choosing a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school.

 

In fact, you should NEVER join a school or a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program unless it meets all of the following FIVE criteria:

1. Their instructors are qualified. What are the instructors credentials? Have they competed? What is the reputation of the organization that they represent? Remember, if you want to be the best you have to learn from the best.

2. The school MUST have a written curriculum. Is there a method to the madness? You'd be shocked to discover how many schools don't follow a step-by-step program so neither the teacher nor the student knows where they're going and how far along they are. Surprising but true.

3. The school must produce winners. Ask yourself, has this school produced any national champs or winning teams? No matter the credentials of the instructor, it does you no good if he can't pass along that expertise.

4. The school should adapt itself to the clients needs. Whether you want to be physically fit, learn how to defend yourself, or train for the World Championships, the school should allow you to set your own goals then help you achieve them. You shouldn't be forced into sparring if you don't want to.

5. The prices are NOT unbelievably low. Remember that you usually get what you pay for. Would you trust a jeweler who offers you a Rolex at Timex prices? Most of these "bargain" schools usually have dirty facilities, unqualified instructors, or instructors who don't speak English, or they don't offer an Advanced program.
