2640234, Hmm Thousand Oaks

so I see 3 schools Id recommend

Gracie Morumbi right in Thousand Oaks
ZR team in Westlake
Paragon in Agoura

So depending on where you live/work. Morumbi is the closest to the actual Zip.
They have a good lineage through the Renzo/Ryan Gracie line and the instructor there is legit. Looks like they have a huge facility, but I dont see their schedule posted

ZR team is a well known team but the instructor is a brown belt. He has good credentials listed, but otherwise I dont know him.

Also a really limited schedule also


Paragon is a really well known team in the Valley and up the Central Coast. The main school is in Santa Barbara and I believe thats where Paul Walker trained. Theyve also produced a couple of the sports stars at some point in Jeff Glover and Bill Cooper. The school in Agoura is an affiliate but the instructor there also has a good pedigree. I like that paragon in general is pretty laid back on the traditional martial arts aspects of things and if its nearby Id recommend checking it out.
What I didnt like about the site is their schedule is kind of limited. So that may give you less options to train

If you can get to Northridge, one of the best competition schools in the area is there: Gracie Barra northridge

Let me know if you need more or if you work closer to another area
