From the reviews
I can’t say enough about Ferreira Family Fight Academy… I have been training there for three years now, and it has truly changed my life. More than excellent coaching from Professor Bruno and his wife Nicole, the academy is a family. They offer Muay Thai classes as well as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Gi and no gi.
Recently signed my daughter and myself up for Jui Jitsu and it is amazing. The environment and the culture of the gym One of welcome. every one is on the same team working to get better at the game. Honestly has me feeling like a kid again, playing with new found friends. My daughter loves the games they play to learn.
I started taking my son and daughter here for self defense purposes initially when they were around 10 years old. Around 4 years later and it has undoubtedly been the single most important athletic discipline they have ever been involved in.
My Husband had been coming to FFFA since they opened... I joined shortly after, our daughter and son also do classes here and there💗. Professor Bruno and Nicole go above and beyond to provide a clean welcoming place for all levels of people training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA.
New to BJJ? Start at Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Lakeport
Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Lakeport comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Lakeport
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
