The Paragon Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has a rich history on the central coast of California. With the help of his good friend, Michael Florimbi, Ricardo 'Franjinha' Miller established Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Santa Barbara in 1998. Since 2002, Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has offered martial arts classes in Ventura County, where Franjinha is a longtime resident.
A black belt under the legendary Romero 'Jacare' Cavalcanti, Franjinha has a lengthy and successful competitive career. He is a multiple time world champion and continues to lead by example by entering international tournaments on a regular basis. However, his goal in opening the Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy is to make champions who find success on and off the mat.
