Meet Professor Marco Borges
Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has represented excellence in martial arts since 1995. We are proud to bring that same legacy to Miami Beach.
Leading our academy is Professor Marco Aurelio Correa Borges, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under the legendary Ricardo “Franjinha” Miller.

Despite an accomplished competitive career, his true passion lies in teaching — and in helping both children and adults discover their full potential through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
