Paragon Simi Valley was originally founded in 2007 by 3rd degree Black Belt Dion Watts whose lineage includes Relson Gracie and Jean Jacques Machado. Known then as Watts Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai Academy we were the first Jiu-Jitsu school in Simi Valley and the largest training facility in the area. In 2015 we joined the world famous Paragon team and are now run by Dion Watts’ oldest student and Paragon Black Belt, Edgar Gallegos.
